How-To

[SaraJo]

Hi folks. I've been fishing all my life, but the simplest way possible: cheap Wal-Mart rod & reel, bobber & sinker, and live bait (usually crickets or worms, sometimes minnows). I usually fish in ponds and sometimes the local river, but I've never fished for a specific fish. Mainly we catch bluegill or perch, a few bass or catfish but usually by accident. I just wondered what the basic technique would be when fishing specifically for bass. And I do mean basic! How to I set my line up, what bait do I use, do I cast & reel or cast & wait, etc. Please help!
