>>1465314I'm not sure how this happened to you anon. I started fishing for the first time since I was young last summer too. I was also fishing with the intention of catching bass and I was able to catch some. Pic related is probably the biggest I caught and he's still kind of a dink.
I was mainly using Texas rigged plastic worms but also had luck with a roostertail.
Maybe try fishing smaller areas like ponds/rivers/creeks. I really like fishing out of rivers. You never know what you're going to catch and you are usually guaranteed to catch something if you find a good spot.
For best results with river fishing I recommend taking live worms to catch whatever will bite and maybe also some corn for carp or something.
