"Also would like to start Bass fishing, know where any dumb ones are I can learn on? I release."

I am in the same boat with you! I asked a little while ago and have not gotten any responses. maybe we could be the blind leading the blind? I am willing to try if you are. I am over here by Horseshoe(Kitsap) and see people bass fishing all the time. catching them too! I try, and nothing, try in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening! nothing! no hits nothing! They catch them and I see them in the shallows, but they look at my offering and get their friend to come look to, and i think they are just laughing at me! They will stare at it for almost a minute, I move it up and down and around, and nothing. Then they swim away about 3 feet. Move it over there, and they, sit and laugh at my offering.

Who knows, maybe some kind soul, would find it in his/her heart to share their experiences or better yet take one of us chaps along and teach us!

Anyone?
