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-to-one lessons.

1. Get seasickness medication: If you're going to fish on the water, nothing is worse than having your fishing trip ruined by seasickness. Most seasickness medicine is appropriate (e.g. Bonine). Even expert fishermen take some on rough-weather days. Take one tablet before you go to sleep, another when you wake up and a third one before you go on board.

2. Get a decent reference manual: There are loads of very good books available in your local bookstores or online. The book you select ought to give you instructions as well as the terms 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 purposes throughout your whole life.

3. Get on a party boat: There are party vessels that take 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 pals on board and they will assist and advise you. Party boats will generally cost between $25 - $70 a day per person and the fish you catch are yours to eat. A party boat is a boon for novices.

4. Select a pier: Assuming you have already learned the skills to use a rod and reel, you need to look for a fishing pier. The majority of coastal cities have a public pier or pay-to-fish pier. You can rent tackle and buy bait on these piers and, if you do have trouble, there are many pier anglers willing to assist and give you advice.

5. Should I do Party or pier?: You ought to try both steps three or four times each or both at the same time at this juncture. The best thing to do is to practise them both ways several times to understand how to do each method.

6. The reel affair: The traditional reel is probably what you've got up to this point. The traditional reel is designed for loads of wear and tear. However, perhaps you now want to consider buying another type or / and make of reel. Ideally, you have already met other anglers and perhaps made a friend or two who can assist you in choosing a reel. You could even ask a fishing equipment store owner for advice.

Firstly, you need to learn the mechanism 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 swimming. Fish move from place to place and clever anglers know these patterns and are able to work out where the fish are likely to be schooling.
