New to Bass fishing
A friend told mine spoke highly about this site so I had to check it out. What a great source of knowledge. I started fishing Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin last year. I was a rough year of fishing for me, considering 1.) I was a first year Bass fisherman (grew up in Mn and only fished Walleye and Pike) 2.) I had no idea where to fish and/or how to fish for Bass. I found a decent Walleye spot at Lake Hiedecke down south so I fished that early in the spring. However, as the season rolled on I began to target bass. It was a slow start into the sport of Bass fishing, however I loved it. I am looking to expand my Bass fishing knowledge.

welcome to the site Corey. I've learned a lot in just a couple years on this site and the great thing with fishing is there's never enough information to learn while bass fishing. Great to have you aboard and can't wait to hear more from ya this spring.
