anyone know of any good instructional videos to watch, so i can up my skills

Now I havnt actually typed this in to watch, so I dont know what will come up, but youtube has just about everything these days.

I would look for specific techniques and skills....
Texas rig
Carolina rig
Drop Shot
Crankbait fishing
Spinnerbait fishing
Jerkbait fishing
Bed fishing or spawn fishing
wacky rig
shakey head
jig fishing

tying knots
choosing a lure
fishing ledges
fishing grass
choosing a rod and reel
etc.



Then you can probably search Amazon for dvds and read the reviews to see which ones people found most helpful.

Also, reading on here there is a TON of great info that can be found in the search function or by asking specific questions.
