[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5309089, member: 19427"] Since moving to TN, my fishing gear has mostly just collected dust. I used to fish almost exclusively in saltwater back in FL but occasionally I would take a kid to fish the pond in my neighborhood to expose them to the thing I was so passionate about. The pond was about 250 yds from the estuary and even though it was landlocked, we had many saltwater fish in it, presumably from storm surge flooding over the years. I would have the kids start by catching bluegills and then we would put them on a hook under a float and see what eats them. It was not uncommon to catch a 30lb tarpon or a 40 inch snook but you had to first get past the bass. They were a nuisance, even the ones in the 8-10 lb range. Below are a couple pictures of my niece who caught both fish. She was excited to catch the bass too... even though it fought like a wet paper bag:p [ATTACH type="full"]130648[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]130649[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
