Let's Get Fishing! Post #2- Pick Your Place and Get Geared Up!

The warm weather and long days have arrived, so time to gear up so you can get out there!  First you must decide what type of fishing as gear is specific especially to water type and species. For example, a freshwater pond setup for small panfish is very different than the gear needed for salt water fishing for Stripers (Striped Bass) in choppy Long Island Sound.  Luckily many rods and reel setups are versatile with different line and tackle or live bait for species that inhabit similar waters.  Maybe it is easier to pick where you want to go and start from there?  Check out the CT DEEP fishing website and try the "Something Fishy" site:
