purty new to fishing

[TroyBoy1989]

So I went out the other day with my new rod/reel. Didn't catch anything. The water is still really cold and very muddy. We have 2 or 3 rivers that come into the columbia river (I live in tri cities wa). I did get a lot of practice with my lews caster reel. Out of 100+ casts, I only backlashed 6 times. They weren't that bad either, just lightened the drag and pulled the nest out and then reeled it back up. Id say that was very good for a complete newb with 4 different weight lures and learning their tension. So far, id definatly recomend the reel for ease of use if you are new to baitcasters. Haven't had a fish on so I can't give you a review on the rod/reel yet. I am heading to pot hole resivor this weekend to do some bass and crappie fishing. Picked up a new daiwa rod and pfluegar mini reel. Hopefuly I can catch some fish.
