I don't know one human being who doesn't enjoy fishing, myself included. In fact, in just the United States, well over 48,000 people fish as a sport and that doesn't account for the people that fish just for relaxation, or people that fish for other purposes. That's a big number, and actually there's a funny little stat answer I found on a website. Someone asked how many people in the US fish? And, someone answered "More people than those that watch football." I consider football a popular sport, so if it can be overdone by fishing, then you know it's a popular sport!

There are several different different websites and forums you can join online that will allow you to read all sorts of different tips, tricks, and advice from people that fish. These forums also have sub-forums that you can take a look at that include other types of fish besides bass such as crappie, sand bass, striper, walleye, hybrids and cat fish as well as different sorts of fishing including salt water and fly fishing. And, if that wasn't enough they also include other great informational content including articles, videos and fishing reports. Needless to say, these forums have absolutely everything and anything you could possibly need if you enjoy fishing as a hobby or as a sport.

These forums allow you to join up with an account and talk "shop" with other people within the community. Not only is this a great way to make friends, but it's also a good way to get to know other fishing spots around the country, which is great if you plan on traveling or want to go on a fishing trip and want to find a good spot. Here are a few threads I found that were started on one forum I took a peek at:

10 mistakes amateur fishermen make
Summertime bass tips
Tube Baits
Tournament Fishing vs. Trophy Fishing
Night Fishing
Product Reviews On Lures

Of course you can also make your own thread and talk about whatever you want. In my opinion, forums are better than websites simply because you are allowed to interact. With websites you get to read articles and such and comment sometimes, but with forums you can really get into it with the other members.

There are several different forums you can take a look at if you're interested in bass fishing or any other kind of fishing for that matter, it just takes a little looking into it. Here are a few I have found, below:

Bass Resource
The Bass Fishing Forum
Big Fish Tackle
Sport Fishermen
Hull Truth

There are several thousand out there so if you don't find the one for you, just be patient and keep looking, I'm sure eventually you will find one or two (or ten) you really enjoy. For me, it's really important to not just join a forum and be done with it. I really want to feel like I'm a part of the community, and feel like the information I share is helping everyone else out as well. Have fun!
