    Hi Devin. I am new to South Louisiana and new to fishing. I just bought a boat, and need to start the equipment buying process. Seems overwhelming. How would you recommend I begin. I’d like to start with a rod/reel (3 or 4 total) for me and my 11 year old son. No idea where to start with tackle. Thanks for any help.
