outdoors and learning new skills. On a different thought try it yourself, it is easy to
learn to fish at any age. There is so much learn to fish information and free fishing
courses available on the internet today.

Here's what you'll need to learn to fish in freshwater: A good fish to target for
beginners are Crappie. The following items are what you need to learn to fish with.
The simple fishing tackle you use for crappie can be used for other panfish like bluegill
also.

#1 Purchase a fishing license. In Many states you can do this online. click here to  
check out your state's Department of Natural Resources link. Depending on your age
and your state, you may need one to fish legally. Also pick up a copy of your state's
fishing laws (or regulations), which will tell you the types of fish, the minimum size limit,
and the number of fish you can catch in one day.

#2 A inexpensive fishing rod and reel with 4-to 6lb test line already wound. You can
purchase a rod and real combo that will already have line installed for under 20$. The
spin cast combo is a great way to start your learn to fish experience. With spin casting
tackle, you can put the bait or lure where the fish are. You can cast greater distances
with more accuracy, work lures effectively, fish in deeper water,and handle larger fish
more easily with this tackle. Spin casting rigs use a rod with a pistol-like grip and a reel
that's mounted on top of the rod's handle. Line is released using a push button on the
reel.

#3 split shot weights small as you can find.

#4 crappie Fish hooks (Number 6-8 size)

#5 A plastic or wood bobber very small, Sizes: 1-1/4", 1-1/2".You want the bobber to
just barely sit on top of the water when bait up your rig.

#6 A selection of live bait or fishing lures I recommend using live bait when you first
start, Go to the local bait store and purchase red worms or crappie minnows. For a
beginner, live natural bait such as worms, minnows, crickets, and other insects is a
good option. . If you can't dig your own, you can find them in a sporting goods or bait
shop. If you want to use minnows, catch them in or near the waters you want to fish.
This prevents bringing new diseases or fish species into a river, lake, or stream.
Return leftover baitfish to where you caught them. If you do not have time to catch
your own bait you can also purchase your live bait selection at your local bait shop.
You'll find everything you need at a fishing tackle or sporting goods store or online at
Cabellas or Bass Pro shop. Also at your local bait shop.

Now that you've purchased your learn to fish equipment, you are ready to set up your
rod with hook, line, and sinker and get to fishing. Tie your tackle rig on a #4--#6 hook
using either a Palomar knot or a improved Clinch Knot. Attach 1 or 2 sinkers or fishing
weights to the line, 6 to 12 inches above the hook. This weight will keep your bait or
lure down in the water and will help swing it away from shore.

Well your ready to go fishing! The learn to fish information we have provided is basic
in nature. If you want more detail with your learn to fish experience I suggest you look
on the internet for a free fishing course. There is a ton of information available to help
you learn to fish.
