Hey all, I'm new to fishing and I only just started this past July.  I'm lookin' to learn as much as I can.  Any tips, tricks, information I should know?  Thanks!

Welcome to the bb fishing mama, and to the world of fishing. It's a great sport that will give you many positive memories for years to come. A good way to learn about fishing is magazines, fishing shows, and forums such as this. Once you've gotten your feet wet a little you'll kind of decide what type of fisherwoman you are. Do you like to fish for all species, or is there a favorite of yours that you like to target every time out? Do you like to fish with live or artificial bait? Do you like to river fish, or is it mostly lakes. Once you've determined what type of fisherman you want to be, you can seek out specific information regarding that species of fish, or that style of fishing. To just ask for tips in general is pretty tough. There are lots of different fish out there and lots of different techniques to catch them. I haven't fished your area yet, but I know there is great fishing for walleye, smallmouth, and musky on the big pond there, as well as other great lakes near by. Where do you normally fish, and what do you usually fish for? I see the pike in your avitar, what's the story behind that one?

Welcome to both the world of fishing and the Club

 

I'll recommend a couple of things for you....the 1st is a map of Green Bay by Fishing Hot Spots, that shows depth, marked spots and gives you a few techniques to try too...

And this is a book of lake maps by Sportsmans Connection...and has several small lakes in your area included in it...plus info about Green Bay.

And this is an "outdoor atlas" for the area. I have one for southern Wisc...and will get this one later this year.

Green Bay is a truly diverse fishery as Bob said...and that is the main reason I'm mentioning these items to you. I own products by both companies...and they have been very useful over the years.

Welcome to a great way of life. Im from green bay but moved north to florence area ten years ago . My father still lives near the packer stadium. Ill extend an invite to you if you want to go fishing up north for bass or pike .Im part of the local sportsmans club here . WEhelp sponsor a local  Kids Hooked on Fishing  event in July. Come on up. Good Luck and Happy Fishing.

i too live in green bay. welcome to the sport. i grew up in the north woods of wisconsin, & havn't been able to get out much down here. brown county isn's the best place to be if you are a fisherman with out a boat. anyway, if you haven't already been there check out "joe bargin Hunter" over on oneida st. my wife gets me gift cards for birthdays & christmas. best gift in the world.
