Whenever I go fishing, its mostly seniors and such. How old are you guys? I am 17... and cant really get anyone around my age to get interested in fishing cause alot of my friends are...well..impatient. I had a friend who would go fishing, but he got tired of it after our 5 streaks of catching Nothing at Grapevine Lake..=(

keep meeting people and posting. Someone will come along. Find you some good ponds that you can geet permission to fish. You just have to ask! This is where it is happening for bank fishing.

Heh, sound exactly like me. My only friend who fishes is a bass purist and won't hardly fish with me unless it involves bass assassins or senkos.

Snag, I feel your pain! I am 35 now but used to get the same [censored] that your getting..." Man fishing is lame" and "man I dont want to smell like fish" Hang in there Bro, some one your age will come along to buddy up with. In the mean time talk to us "seniors" and pick up a few pointers, heck maybe you could teach me something. I fish the Vine often from the bank. Maybe we'll cross lines sometime.

Ever thought of starting a fishing club at school? At 16, (I'm 65 now) I thought of 3 things; girls, fast cars and fishing. About 10% of my friends enjoyed the outdoors and I expect it is the same thing now. Ask around; you will probably make some new and different friends.

You could learn from some of the people who are "ancient"...lol. By fishing with older guys you can learn different styles of fishing, and learn to fish for multi-species. Sooner or later as you get more successful at fishing, you are bound to get other guys interested when they see pics of you and the big fish you are hauling in!

I am 36, been fishing since I was four or five and can get enough of it. I just moved form Louisiana and now live in Granbury. In La I fished Toledo Bend 50 to 75 days a year. I chose the house we live in because it has lake access. So it only gets worse the older you get, but hopefully you make enough money and have enough time to keep dooing what you enjoy.
PS Did you boys see what Paul Jellas (age 56) did to the young bucks of the BASS Elite Series. I think his winning weight was 132lb 8 oz 4days 20 fish

hey i am 17 also and i love fishing with the oldies! every time i go out i always learn so much. but it is nice to go with people my age so what i do is find someone at school ushly a team mate.and ask them what they are doing over the weekend if they say i don't no i say let's go fishing. most like it. and i found that if the cats arn't biting at the pond i go to it is a pretty safe bet that the bait is (pearch) and that will give them some thing to do while waiting for the real bite.

Suits me. We need to check and see what Rocky can get to for lunch. How about Angelos? That's close to work for him. I haven't been there in years. I'll get to him and George and post it on PB to see if any other locals want to go. Next week Ok for you? Any bad days?
