When you’re thinking about the very introduction to fishing, the thought of bobbers and eagle claw size 8 hooks on a zebco thumb press comes to mind. If you want to get into specifics of bass fishing, I think texas rig and wakey rig were the first I started on and learned from bank fishing. Had to learn about the purpose of these techniques and how to retrieve them.

You try it with weedless?

Yay!

Having just fished my first and unless my luck changes, probably my last; I am sad to see it changing. I’m of the opinion that it was the low barrier to entry that made it popular with people. Due to the amount of money people are investing into their electronics, it cuts so many ways why the turnouts have gone down drastically.

Hot Dam!

Seems to me you’ve had good repore with your co angler. I am new to the scene and I’ve learned a whole lot from asking questions here. In interviews and videos, one of the common tips were to never fish what the boater is fishing. Of course, I think this wouldn’t be an issue if the boater was cool with it.

My question was a scenario I thought might happen and I wanted to see if there was an answer for it. I want to he as respectful as I can be and avoid any possible conflict. Money is involved and that’s when people get the most funny.

I’m going in to my first BFL co angler with a mindset to 1) learn as much as I can about the initial experience and how it’s structured and flows. 2) Understand my position as a co angler and see what happens when I get to fish. 3) have fun.

I think I will just play it by ear and see how it goes

Here in Nebraska we had the same, hopefully you didn’t have the humidity we have. 🥵🥵🥵

I caught this, this morning and had no idea a catfish would go for a spinner
