Hey guys just wanted to introduce myself, the names Johnny. I've fished alot when I was kid (12-13 years ago, 21 now). I used to fish with my family down at the Long Beach Piers (piers 1, 2, 3) that was way before they remodeled the whole area and added Pier Point Landing, also did some fishing at Redondo.

I recently took a camping trip to Silverwood lake over the weekend, didn't catch anything because of my lack of knowledge on tackle/what bait, etc. But that totally got me hooked on fishing again. I went out to Belmont Pier today, had a few bites, but didn't catch anything. People all around me were pulling in fish. Well I'm hoping to learn alot of info here, on what to use for bait, names/description of the tackle i need, etc.

Sorry for the long intro.
