Not me Loc: N Alabama

Thought I would go ahead and introduce myself and tap into the vast knowledge bank that lifelong fisherman would have as for me well I’m older now and find myself with plenty of time to fish but having had to work my whole life to support my family I never had much time to fish which I really love to do so my skills are very limited as to which bait works best at which time or conditions ect
I am lucky to live in north Alabama where there are great fishing rivers and lakes for bass so if anyone wants to share some local knowledge I am like a sponge taking everything in thanks in advance and have a blessed day

Welcome to fishing the best advice I can say is enjoy it. relax doing it and ask other fishermen 99% of them will tell you what they're fishing for and how they are doing it. pick the old-timers brains that you see they love to talk and tell stories .do not fall in the hype that this is a pretty lure it's only for you and not the fish stick to the basics and you will enjoy it

Thanks ev1 it’s just I lack the basic skills of knowing what bait works the best for the given condition and don’t worry about relaxing because I enjoy just being on the water out there whether the fish cooperate or not but it’s always better when you are catching fish

Thanks for the welcome bill living in the Decatur area myself and as I said before there is a lot of great fishing in this area I’m sure if your a fisherman in Alabama you know how good the bass fishing is in smith lake and on the Tennessee river and myself very little basic knowledge about which baits work best under different circumstances any basic knowledge advice would be most appreciated
