You have decided that you want to learn
to fish. There are several ways of learning, the hardest being trial and error.
It would be best to find an instructor for one-on-one lessons.
1. Buy seasickness medication
Nothing is worse than ruining your
fishing because of seasickness. Most seasickness medication e.g. Bonine would
be fine. Even seasoned fishermen are known to take some on rough days. Take one
before you go to sleep, another when you wake up and a third one before you
board.
2. Buy a reference book
A lot of good books are available at
your bookstores and online. The book should give you instructions as well as
terms and definitions. Some things you may not immediately understand but you
should know anyway. Learn how to tie different kinds of knots. This knowledge
will be invaluable for other purposes throughout your life.
3. Go to a party
There are party boats that carry from
fifteen to as many as sixty anglers. The boat provides everything like bait,
rod, reel, sinkers and hooks. They assist you in fishing and take the fish off
the hook for you. Mates will spot you and will generally stay close to assist
you. Party boats generally will cost you $25 - $70 a day, and the fish are
yours to keep. The party boat is a bargain for beginners.
4. Pick your pier
Assuming you have already acquired
skills to operate a rod and reel, you need to look for a fishing pier. Majority
of coastal cities have one public pier or pay-to-fish pier. You can rent tackle
and buy bait at the piers. If you're having trouble, there are many pier
anglers willing to help and give you tips.
5. Party or pier
You may want to do either step three or
four or both at this point. The best thing to do is to do both several times to
really learn.
6. The reel deal
The conventional reel is probably what
you're using up to this point. The conventional reel is designed for a lot of
wear and tear. You may now want to consider other types and makes of reels.
Ideally you have met people and perhaps made a friend or two who can assist you
in selecting a reel. You can even ask a tackle shop owner for tips.
You need to understand the mechanics of
the reel and the other equipment. Learning to cast, tie knots and bait are not
that complicated. Secondly, you need to learn where to fish. Successful
fishermen know where the fish are located. Fish move from place to place and
knowledgeable anglers understand these patterns and are able to anticipate
where the fish are located.
