Welcome SSF! One thing you may want to consider is to get into tackle crafting yourself while you're still young. Ask for tackle craft supplies for your birthday and christmas. As much as I enjoy tackle crafting, I wish I'd gotten into it when I was your age... I would be a Jedi master at now if I had started back then!

PM me your address and I'll send you some stuff too... but unlike Stumpy in his post above, I want you to test them and give me a full report!

What kind of fish do you have in your lake and which species are your favorite to target?
