Hi Everyone

[John3774]

I've been out of the water for about 15 years now and am getting back into it. I used to fish a lot when I was younger, mostly lake and river, with some bay fishing thrown in. Unfortunately I've been out a long time, forgotten most of what i knew, so I'll be asking a lot of questions in the forums about rods, reels, and tackle in general. Hope I don't annoy you too much. [laugh]

I'm going out to Whiskeytown Lake up in the Shasta area of Ca on Sept 2nd for 8 days and I've been told firmly that dinner consists mainly of what I catch. I'm fine with that, but I need gear and any info from people that have fished that area as I can get!

I wanna eat []

Good to meet everyone and good fishing to all.

Welcome back to the sport and BFT John. I see you have already found the freshwater and california boards. Where do you reside? Find a local tackle store and let them know what you want to do. They usually are really good at getting people set up.

I'm in Santa Rosa ca, which is about an hours drive north of S.F. I'm going down to Petaluma in few days to check out a bait shop I found, see what they have as well, since I don't have any here in town.
