First of all what kind of equipment do you have now? I mean rods and reels, lures, boat? There are books in the library that will give you a ton of general information and start you off in the right direction. If all of us wrote an article on the particular fishing syles and techiques we use it's not going to help you much. You need to start with the basics. When you see another fisherman on the water it is OK to talk to them,[as long as they're not in a tournament] hopefully they are not so busy that they will not help you a little. A lot of us want to share knowledge.
Feel free to talk to me anytime, I'm the dude that looks like Santa in the red Lund boat.
