So, you have decided that you want to learn how to fish. There are a few ways of learning, the hardest being trial and error. The best way is to find an instructor for one-on-one lessons.
1. Buy seasickness medication: If you’re going to fish on the water, nothing is worse than having your fishing ruined by seasickness. Most seasickness medication e.g. Bonine is very good. Even expert 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 go on board.
2. Get a good reference manual: There are loads of very good books available in your local bookstores or online. The book you select should give you instructions as well as the terminology and definitions. There are some things you may not immediately understand but that you should know anyway. One good thing is to know how to tie different kinds of knots. This useful knowledge will also be invaluable for other reasons throughout your whole life.
3. Get on a party boat: There are party vessels that carry from five to as many as sixty anglers. The boat will usually provide you with everything you need from bait, lures, rod, reel, sinkers to hooks. They will show you how to fish and even take the fish off the hook for you as well. You will make plenty of new fishing mates on board and they will help and advise you. Party boats will generally cost between $25 – $70 a day per person and the fish you catch are yours to keep. A party boat is a boon for beginners.
4. Select a pier: After you have already acquired the skills to use a rod and reel, you need to look for a fishing pier. Most seaside cities have a public pier or pay-to-fish pier. You can rent tackle and buy bait at these piers and, if you do have trouble, there will be plenty of pier anglers around to help and give you tips.
5. Party or pier?: You may want to do either step three or four times or both at the same time at this point. The best thing to do is to practise both methods several times to really learn them.
6. The reel way: The traditional reel is probably what you’ve got up to this point. The conventional reel is made to take loads of wear and tear. However, maybe you now want to think about purchasing a different type or / and make of reel. Hopefully, you have already met other fishermen and perhaps made a friend or two who can assist you in selecting a reel. You could even ask a tackle store owner for tips.
Firstly, you need to learn the mechanics of the reel and the other equipment. Learning to cast, tie knots and bait is not really all that complicated. Secondly, you must learn where to fish. Successful fishermen know where the fish are schooling. Fish move from place to place and knowledgeable fishermen know these patterns and are able to anticipate where the fish are likely to be schooling.
