You are in fishing Heaven and don’t know it. You could put together a tackle box and gear that would cost over thousands of dollars to fish for each of these varieties I bet you are sorry you asked [cool] not [cool] Ok I will pick one to help you with and lets see who will join in to help you in your efforts. (if no one else helps – I doubt very much this would be the case – you can now look at other boards to see what it takes to land one of the varieties) I will choose the Large Mouth Bass There is many ways to catch one of these bad boys. Start with a lightweight to medium rod and reel. (Choose a good one even they cost a little more money they are cheaper in the long run because they will hold up much longer that the cheapies) Anything from a #6 hook to a #5.0 hook Bait – anything from a worm to a minnow to a crawdad. Lures - my favorite are the “Black Gitterbug” “3-4 inch Silver Repalla” “#6 Rustertail” To tie lures to your line I use a Barrel Swivel then a 4-foot leader then I tie my lure on using a polymer Knot. (Knot instructions available when buying your lures and line)(this will also show you how to tie your hooks) Where to fish - on the drop-offs - near Lillie pads – over tops of weed beds – and boat ramps. (I am sorry I cant tell you every thing I know, It wouldn’t be fair to the pro’s if I did) How to fish - Still fishing - (hook & bobber) Bottom fishing (weighting your line to the bottom of the lake-pond-river) Trolling (dragging your lure behind you in a boat) Cast and retrieve (casting our and reeling in then repeating) I hope this is what you are looking for and gets you started on your way to being “Hooked On Fishing for life <A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> Lookie See what the kids are up to.
