New to fishing

[HogTown06]

Hello folks,

I'm an old-ish guy who recently decided to give fishing a try and it quickly became an addiction. I found the OSF forums while looking for fishing spots on google and figured this is probably a good hangout place.

One of the reasons I decided to adopt fishing as a new hobby is because it pairs nicely with some of my other passions like paddling (sit-in kayak mostly), cycling and spending time outside.

I'm not very experienced with fishing, since I got started 3 weeks ago (being coached by a buddy of mine) I only caught one fish (yellow bullhead at Milne Dam). Planning a trip to Scugog Lake soon to rent a boat to fish for a day which I'm told it's pretty much the guarantee of catching a ton of fish (fingers crossed). But so far I've only done shore fishing and I believe that'll be my bread and butter.

Hoping to learn from more experienced anglers here and maybe one day try to contribute myself.

Cheers
