Sea Fishing Tips for Beginners
article Updated 7 Jan 2011 @ 09:28 am
There are many, various kinds of fishing tackle available in stores, hundreds of fishing methods in books, and fishing advice online, i.e. forums etc. Forums are a great way to gain knowledge quickly and from anglers that are doing it day in and day out. Just don't expect to be told where the best fishing and bait gathering spots are! Those you will normally have to find out for yourself by time, effort and experience, it's a great learning curve. Just to make it all simple, here are the basic things you need to know for your first time fishing adventure.
The sea fishing equipment you'll need
I have a check list which I look at every single time I'm about to leave because you'd be surprised how often you'll forget something. I have included things you will need for a night session as well so just pick the things you will need for your particular trip BUT I always go through the list regardless. For a normal trip out you will need:
- Your end tackle (traces, hooks, weights, floats, swivels etc)
- Head light & torch - spare batteries
- A bucket or bag to keep your catch in (optional)
- A cloth to wipe your hands and hold the fish
- Drop net if fishing from piers, jetties etc.
- Hat, wet weather gear, waders, wellies, boots, gloves (optional on any item)
- Spare spool of line for making rigs etc. I normally make my rigs up well in advance and always have plenty spare. It's always wise to carry a spare spool of line in case you hit a few snags and lose line. You can always top your reel up PLUS, I normally carry a spare reel. If you use a 'multiplyer' and get a 'birds nest' you can always swap reels and then take your time picking out the mess when back at home in a nice warm house!
- First aid kit - Always sensible to carry some sort of kit, even if it's just a few plasters. I carry a FULL KIT IN THE CAR EVERY TIME I GO FISHING.
