Fishing is really interesting for many. You may
want to try out fishing after seeing your uncle enjoying fishing. You must be
excited about it. However, excitement apart, you need to know a few basic
things as you just begin.
For those who are trying their hand at catching
fish for the first time, it is better to start simple and keep investment as
low as possible.
Just get the basic stuff that is absolutely
necessary to start off fishing next weekend.
A license is required if you want to go fishing.
You can go fishing in your state or any other state you want. The price
depends on the state where you want to try fishing. Usually it is not expensive
and it won’t cost you more than 20$ per month. Also, the price is more if you
choose another state as you will be a non resident there and need to pay a
little extra. You can consider annual licences which is a good bet. Nowadays, you
can get a license for fishing online so easily.
Then, you need to choose a spot where you want to
try fishing. You can take help from people who are already trying their hand at
fishing. You can also get good information on apps related to fishing.
You can
just download an app that can give you relevant and sufficient information
about the fishing spots in your area or a place where you’ll be fishing in.
Usually for first timers, a lake is a good option. Once you get the hang of
fishing, you can then try fishing in a river.
Your friends or uncles who are more experienced
in fishing can guide you better about it. Talk to them once to get glimpses of
fishing. They can help you with good safety precautions so that you can have
good fishing experience.
Then you can go to a local tackle store and take
a look at the equipment. The employees at the store can give you very useful
information and help you pick the best equipment that fits your needs. Just get
the basic equipment like a reel and rod at first. Then you can get Lures and
baits as you progress. As you gain experience, you can gather complete fishing gear and apparel that
you need.
If you want to head out to fishing like your
uncle, you must not forget about taking first aid with you. If disastrous
things happen, this kit will come in handy. However, do not worry about
mishaps. Keep your excitement alive and go for it with full enthusiasm and
enjoy the process.
Know what kind of fish be there at the spot you
are going to fishing in like flying fish or artificial lures etc. You can read
the state’s forest department journals or website to get useful and accurate
information.
Demonstrate good etiquette there. Do not disturb
others who are also trying fishing along with you. Don’t crowd their spot. Be
in your place and let others enjoy it too.
