A Starter Course to Bass Fishing!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

I have had several E-Mails from my AR friends that say they would love to try fishing.  So here is just the starter course to do just that.

You can go to any discount Department store, and by a Rod and Reel at a resonable price.  You need a package of Medium sized hooks.  Bait is next.  Worms from the garden, or large bug will also work.  A bobber is optional.

Now tie 1 hook onto the fishing line from the reel, impale a worm or bug and the throw (cast ) the bait and hook into the water...

WALLAH...you are now BASS Fishing!!

Next week I will hone in on the skill of actually CATCHING a BASS. 

Remember....there is a difference between Fishing for the fish and Catching the fish!

Fishing is always good, BUT, the catching can be slow some days!

LOOKING TO BUY A LAKE HOME OR CABIN.  NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO BE LOOKING.  STILL TIME TO BUY AND TAKE POSSESION BEFORE OPENING DAY!!!

I could probably use some lessons, what I do can be called fishing, it just couldn't;t be called catching.

Gary...I introduced 2 ladies to fishing last year.  In their 60's.  Never fished because they didn't like to eat fish.  When I told them you don't have to keep them, just throw them back, they were surprised.  They are hooked now, went many times last year and caught and released.

When I first read your post I saw wallah and thought Walleye and didn't see how that had anything to do with Bass.  HMMMMMM, maybe I should slowdown on the speed reading!!

Bill...I had to stop part way and restart reading.  Wasn't sure if you were serious or not.  I guess you are kind of both.
