Hello!
i am looking for few suggestions. I have two young kids (8) and they always ask me to go fishing.
I have practically no experience at all. I did it a little when I was 11 and 12 years old, with nobody teaching me, and only during summer on the ocean. Never on a rive or on a lake.
i live in Atlanta so I was thinking about going to to Bass Pro and get a couple of rods and the basic stuff that I may need to have a little fun, and then go to one of the big lakes north of the city.
I understand that kids do not need a license, so I may get one for me, just in case (right?).
Any recommendation about what to buy (i would like to keep things simple, at the beginning at least, but I guess I need something more than just the fishing rod, stuff like knives, baits or lures (which ones?) baskets, insect repellant , etc.) and where to go (I don't want to use a boat and i need to find places that are easily accessible by car)?
I assume some of the answers would depends on what we would like to fish. Well, I don't even know what is in those lakes!
Also, I understand that the lakes are restricted areas as far carrying firearms is concerned. Is that correct? So no guns while fishing?
Thanks for your help?
