hey guys,
jersey bass fisherman who's only fished small ponds. going to visit a freind who moved to oldsmar and will be doing alot of fishing. completely out of my element there. have to buy alot of new lures, weights, rods, reels, etc. can u give me some recommendations on either what rods/reels to get (first time i'll be using a baitcaster) and what kind of tackle (ex, how heavy of bullet weights) too. i'll be on okeechobee and tarpon at the very least, if it helps. also, i don't have any one particular type of fishing (lures) that i favor, i try to be versitile. oh, and i'm not going to be getting 3 300 dollar rods, but i am willing to spend a little bit more than an average guy might. t y for any help.
