Brand New To Fishing - Oblo - 04-30-2013

Hey, I'm Nathan and I just began fishing a couple days ago and I am 15. I live in the Chicago Suburbs. Right now I'm just fishing in a small little creek that runs through a pond with my friends. I caught 1 fish, while my friend caught 12. I want to get good, but I've been using their poles, hooks, and bait so I feel like a mooch. What can I do to really familiarize myself with fishing? Also what am I going to need when it comes to fishing? I know I need poles/baits/bobbers/hooks ect., but can anyone recommend anything to me? I need all the help I can get!

--Thanks!

Hi Nathan welcome to BFT and the sport. I don't blame you for wanting your own gear. First of all what kind of fish have you been catching? This will help us to start helping you.
