Only back in the game a year myself, one thing you have to get used to is..... everything seems smaller! Rods are lighter, longer, tackle now resembles freshwater rigs, (smaller hooks, ) big baits seem to be thing of the past. What you used to throw back now scores in comps. Species hunting now popular, given the decline in stocks etc.. But, wherever it is you will be fishing, East coast or West, North or South, the same buzz will be there when you start hookin' into whatever it is you are chasin :D I forgot to say welcome to the site, I have found it to be a great help in 'adapting' to the recent fishing styles now the norm. Good bunch of anglers on here, with plenty of expierience that they are only to willing to share with a 'returning angler like yourself. ( Don't take all of the comments to heart :wink: )............ Welcome back.
