Im Chris im 16 years old and live in V.A. I love the outdoors i hunt and heavy into baseball. dont know anything about fishing. I really want to start fishing and i am trying to learn all about it. I want to start bass fishing in the reservoir near me and also in some lakes in prince edward county. I have a 12 ft jon boat with two trolling moters and no engine, im not sure what engine i should get. i also dont know what kind of rods i should get or reels or anything. If anybody has any sugestions for me i would love to hear them. thanks

First allow me to say welcome to all the new members to the site. HOWDY!

Baseball7 as far as your propulsion goes I run a 1542 and my buddy Waterwings runs a 1648/52? with two trolling motors and we do just fine. Many of our smaller lakes do not allow gas motors to even be mounted on our boats. If you do go gas be sure to check your state regs and the lake regulations. Be careful when your taking a small boat on big waters. Wind can become very dangerous very quickly!

As far as equipment I will let the more knowledgeable guys answer your questions. I can tell you that Bass fishing is a challenging and rewarding sport. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself and remember that even if you don’t catch anything on a particular day you have still learned something.

It has been challenging, lol.

As PH said above, we both use two trolling motors (tm) on our rigs. There's a foot controlled tm on the front, and a hand-controlled tiller-type tm on the back. WE've both spent a few hours on the water and have done fine. I use PH's rule of thumb: IF the wind is blowing harder than the length of the boat, we stay home. The wind will play havoc on an aluminum rig, and once the wind gets to going, so do the waves/choppiness of the water. How many batteries do you have?

Hi!

Joined the board awhile back; however, I have not been a very good participant. Have now added the site to My Favorites so I won't forget to stop by. My name is Dana, but most on the web refer to me as TG! Live in NW Alabama with my husband and twelve yr. old son. Husband and I love bass fishing, and our son is into football. We have two boats in our garage, a Triton and a Skeeter. We are a house divided when it comes to fishin!

God, family, friends, business and fishing! President of a pretty big bass club and senior advisor to a jr. club of abt twenty young men. I also like to watch HOUSE and PBR!

Welcome Aboard, TG ! You get a chance post some pics of those rigs.

pondhopper · « **Reply #31 on:** January 17, 2009, 05:07:53 PM »

Welcome again TG. Glad to hear of a woman that watch’s something other than that communist TV (you know HGTV, etc.).

I am also glad that my wife doesn’t fish. I don’t have room for a second boat!

My name is Paul Lieb and I am the expert at what I call Micro Planerboard Technology.
I invented castable planer boards that flip direction when give a little tug and an ultra light in-line planer board.
I don't make the lures you use I make the lures you use better.

Wish I could afford to advertise but I ain't Bass Pro or Cabelas.

It looks like it's been a couple of years since I posted on here. That hardly seems possible, but then again, these last 2 years are a blur to me.

My handle is crankb8 and I have been a bass fishing fool since about 1984.

I was an early moderator of the Bass Pro fishing forums, but retired a couple years back and turned the reigns over to Joe and Just4Fun. At one time I lived on these forums and shared everything I knew about this great sport called bass fishing. As life got busier and work got more and more demanding, it takes all I can do to check in from time to time and read a couple of posts. There are sooooo many people and sooooo little time.

Enough reminiscing...it's great to see this site alive and well, and I still apreciate the fact that I can pop in here from time to time and still feel at home with some of the old gaurd still hanging around!

Great to see everyone, and I will do my best to not be such a stranger.

My name is Don Hardesty, I live in Evansville, Indiana. I'm 71 years old, retired Professional Photographer. I live about 3 minutes from the ramp and fish as often as possible. I am the tournament director for the American Legacy Ohio River Tournament Series. We will fish from ten to fourteen tournament, depending on the condition of the river, this year. If anyone would like to fish with us we'd love to have you. We fish for bass, LM, SM and Ky spotted bass. It's a team tournament but you may fish alone if you wish. If anyone is interested just email me at dshardes@aol.com and I'll see that you get all the information.

This looks like a really neat site and it will take me awhile to figure out how to navigate through it. Thanks for the welcomes and I hope I can add something to the site.
