My wife & I went fishing this morning (Sunday). The fellow who runs the only
bait & tackle shop on the lake didn't show up today until 1 p.m. He is also one of the folks who acts like he's doing you a favor by showing up at all. Don't ask him for advice, that's "not his job". While we were there, Tim Farmer (host of PBS's Kentucky Afield), dropped by. The bait shop fellow never heard of him. At the lake where we used to go, the tackle shop was open from 6 a.m. till dark every day. The guy running it lived and breathed fishing. If you had a pretty good day, he'd take your picture with your fish and hang it on the bulletin board until he had to cover it up with a newer picture. He'd talk about fishing all day if you wanted.

I agree with the others about finding a friendly bait shop or tackle shop. In some you will find folks who love to talk to anybody about fishing. In others, you're lucky if you can talk them into taking your money, much less getting any help from them. On the "Fishin' Stuff" page of my website, there's a table with links to all the states that offer fishing license online. With most of them, you can print your license on your own printer after paying by credit card. A few of them tack on a fee of a couple of bucks for the privilege of buying online. If you buy them from your local dealer, you're helping him/her out & you have an instant conversation-starter to see what you can learn from them. Good luck.
