Getting Better......Thx to you

[amateurfishing]

Hello, I just wanted to stop for a second tonite and tell everyone here I have been reading this stuff for over a month, asking a lot of questions, and I started to see it pay off today. From slip bobber to spring bobber, wax worms to minnows, fish finders and others. I caught 1 fish in 4 tries b4 today.....had bout dozen today. Did not keep any as range from 4 inch fat perch to 11 inch bass (& yes i threw the bass back, just like my 18 inch bass last summer, i know im an [PoorWordUsage]), but did want to let all of you know how much I enjoy reading the fodder and implementing your experience on my behalf. I even went through 3 rods, 3 holes, & 5 jigs b4 they started biting but it is totally awesome to ask questions, get opinions and proven experiences from all of you, especially when this is the only avenue i have to learn. I have no friends or family that does this. Thx for all your help & support, may your lines be tight and rods bending.

That's what it's all about! Great to hear. Keep it up and you'll be catching limits before you know it.

If I could offer up one single tip to help you it would be to fish early and late ice. The fishing seems much easier then

We are your family now son! Follow the family and you will go far. Stay close to the family. Learn from the family. But never cross the family or you will end up swimming with the Fishes!

Live and learn, lots of things to learn on every trip. There is a wealth of knowledgeable anglers on this site and more than willing to help each other along.

We learn from each other. Never a dumb question asked...sometimes silly maybe...and we can have some fun there at times too.

It is my view that all questions should be approached with respect as we all have a different level of experience, and we all can benefit from each others counsel.

great story... the forums here are a wealth of information. And a lot of fun.

Time on the water... take notes each trip and you will be better each trip.. Till the day you think you have them figured out, then they have a way of throwing that in your face and feel like you have to start over...LOL.. its fishing!
