New to fishing

[Mitcher]

I know this may come to a suprise to you big fisherman out there but I am 20 and have never been fishing before. I have a daughter that is 2 and would like to pick something up that we can do together, with going to school and working i dont have much time but if i could grab 2 hours here and there with her that would be great and i figured fishing would be a great thing to get started in. Well thats alittle about me here is my question. I went the other night and caught a sunfish and a bass, i dont know what kind it was but it was really small only like4 inches. I was using some bait i found in my garage dont know where it came from. I explained what i was using to someone at work and they told me i was using a rooster tail and that is mainly used for Trout, and i dont have a trout stamp so that doesn't help me much. I am just looking for some basic things i need to start fishing. A guy who knew what he was doing showed my wife what to get me for fathers day. (Rod, reel, hooks, etc.) but didnt get me any bait. I went to wal mart last night and had no idea what i needed to get or what to do. So if anyone could point me in the right direction of where to get some good info that would be great thanks.

I live in central PA by the way, mostly fishing in streams and there is a place called Canoe Creek which is just a damed off creek lake. I dont really know what you need to know to guide me but thats all i can really tell you.
thanks alot
