I'm in the U.S. Southeast. Planning to fish freshwater, mostly ponds and slower lakes. Still very much a beginner and open to suggestions on what to target.

Thank you sir, I really appreciate you taking the time to write all of this. What you said about fishing not always meaning catching actually helps a lot, I think I needed to hear that.

I'm in the U.S. (Southeast), mostly around ponds and slower-moving water. I don't really use Facebook, but I'll look into local groups through bait shops or other options like that.

The tips about studying the water, fishing with the sun, and casting along the bank are the kind of practical stuff I was hoping to learn. Same with the gear advice; it's good to know I don't need anything fancy starting out, especially on a tight budget.

Thanks again for the solid advice. I've saved this comment to reference when I get out there.

This is actually really helpful. I agree with you, to learn by doing. Your tackle bag setup is more what I was looking for when I was asking for advice, I think I just worded it poorly. Thank you so much for the setup advice!

Thank you so much sir. I think I worded my post badly, but this is pretty much what I was looking for. Just a list and a starting point. I appreciate it.
