Hi Ya'll,
I write an online article about every 2 weeks... and today my latest one came out.
It is about how I started Bass Fishing.
Here is the link...

AND HERE IS THE STORY............. [cool] [center][size 2]The Beginning of My Bass Fishing Addiction[/size][/center] [left][size 2]I started Bass fishing last summer (2003) when the creek was too high for me to catch trout![/size][/left] [left]
[size 2]My neighbor handed me a chartreuse grub on a spinnerblade rig and said "Toss this in, I betcha catch a bass." And sure enough, I did and just stood there, in awe, looking at the bass and the lure. I couldn’t believe that a fish had gone after that silly looking thing with as much enthusiasm as it had. That was the beginning of my BASS addiction.[/size][/left] [left][size 2]But see it didn't stop there.... I had to move on to harder lures, the spinnerblade rig just wasn't as satisfying as it had been in the beginning, I needed something more. I moved on to spinnerbaits and even bought a buzzbait.[/size][/left] [left][size 2]Next, with some research, I learned how to Texas Rig a nightcrawler. I caught my biggest bass on one, a 15inch largemouth.[/size][/left] [left][size 2]From here, I moved on to a Hula Popper and other various poppers. I even won over a few bass on a Jitterbug! But I still wasn't satisfied and decided to give soft plastics a try. A friend gave me a Berkley Power Leech to try. What a rush it was getting an underwater bite like that! I moved on to Power Worms.[/size][/left] [left][size 2]I tried a pig 'n jig, but didn't have much luck. I need to practice that technique more. By the end of the summer, I had discovered topwater frogs and mice on the scum. I had a very exciting first Bass season, and can't WAIT until this season to start. I own more soft plastics, a Zara Spook and a Heddon Baby Torpedo. And hey, I DO own a fly rod you know. The possibilities are endless!!! [/size][/left]
Thanks and enjoy!

] IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU HAD A HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE ON YOUR FIRST BASS FISHING TRIP. DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD HAVE THE SAME FEELINGS ABOUT BASS FISHING IF YOU HAD NOT CAUGHT ANYTHING THE FIRST TIME OUT? I MYSELF CAN SIT ON THE WATER 8-10 HOURS WITHOUT A BITE BUT JUST CAN'T LEAVE. I KNOW IF I LEAVE THE FISH WILL START BITING. MY WIFE AND BOYS JUST DON'T HAVE THE PATIENT IF THERE NOT BITING THEY GET BORED FAST. CAN'T BLAME THE BOYS THOUGH THEY ARE ONLY THREE BUT LOVE TO GO FISHING. I HOPE WHEN MY DAUGHTER GETS OLD ENOUGH SHE'LL ENJOY FISHING ALSO.
