Okay, So i was born and raised in Philadelphia, but was routinely at campgrounds and such as a kid so i did my fair share of fishing growing up. Never very formally, but always loved it nonetheless. in my teens, did a good bit of delaware river catfishing.
This year, My brother suggested getting our fishing licenses, and im hooked. I have 3 spinning rods, my trout rod (4'6 with 4# mono) a medium 7" for small cats and bass etc. with braid, and a 7" heavy rod with 50#braid for big cats and whatever else the rivers or ocean can throw at me.
I enjoy the troutfishing the most though due to getting in the water in waders and using lures. its very active and rewarding. Everything i read on trout is fly fly fly. Ive never so much as touched a fly rod, but im intrigued. Im joining to start my research and maybe see if theres a beginner flyrod setup in the classifieds. It seems us spinners get a bit of a bad rap from the "fly guys" heh. either way, hope this leads to something fun. maybe i can get up and running by the time the fish and chips comes around.
Sorry for being so long winded.
