At Walter worth don't use a bobber let the powerbait sink and they are good ones in there. They like green orange and rainbow with a slide weight and #10 or #8 hook. I have got huge ones outta there. The biggest trout Ive caught has been in that place.
I knew that was the set up.
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum. Here's my story. I'm 36 and used to be into fishing on a semi-serious basis back when I was single and had all the time in the world. Over the last 6-8 years work, travel (for work), wife, and kids took me out of the game. I literally had zero gear (not even a pole) up until a week ago.
Someone told me the park / pond by wal-mart by the airport and I decided to take my 5 year old son out for my first fishing attempt in over 7 years. I bought a small 5 1/2 foot pole, some bobbers, some hooks, (are trebble hooks banned now?), and some night crawlers.
Long story short, I've been out three time in the last week. Each time no more than an hour or so because the little ones get impatient. I took my 10 year old nephew with me this last time because he's never been fishing before. We've been skunked so far, but I realize that now I've got the fever!!
We used bobbers and worms at the pond to your immediate right when you enter the park. Not sure what the name of it is. But after continuous instruction to my nephew about bobber/casting/line control, and after seeing his obvious irritation at my constant instruction, i thought to myself.. I said, "Self... what I need is some power bait and a sliding sinker weight. Then I came home, did some googling, and found this forum.
I'm excited to be here, and look forward to sharing any information that I might have to offer. I'll post any successes and stories that I aquire along the way including gear and strategies.
I'd also be up for meeting up for beers, coffees and of course fishing!!
