Fishing is a inexpensive activity you can spend some quality time with your family. There are millions of saltwater and freshwater fisherman throughout the world today that help promote the sport as a family activity.I am sure you know someone who is a fisherman, just ask them how they like the sport. Fishing is more then just a sport, it provides quality time for you and your family and is a great stress reliever, even if you are serious angler. If you are looking for a new experience, love the outdoors, and looking for a inexpensive sport or pastime you should take a good look at learning how to fish. You will be surprised how much information is available on the Internet to learn to fish.

Here's what you'll need to learn to fish in freshwater: I am recommending you start your learning to fish process by reading or find fishing information on the internet about the freshwater fish called the Crappie. The Crappie can be caught in most freshwater lakes throughout the United States and Canada and takes no special skills to catch.I have identified some very simple fishing tackle below in items 1-6 that you can purchase for very little, to catch Crappie. The tackle I have identified can also be used to catch other fish like blue and perch.

#1 Purchase a fishing license. In Many states you can do this online."DONOT" go fishing without a license, the fines are very steep! If you visit my site

http://www.oldfishinghole.com

you can get the latest fishing license information for your particular site. Also visit my blog http://www.oldfishinghole.com/blog for more detail information. Another great resourse to get fishing license and regulation information is your states department of natural resources. Most states have a website and many offer online sales so there is no excuse not to purchase a fishing license. Depending on your age and your state, you may need one to fish legally. When you purchase your fishing license make sure you pick up a brochure on all the regulations, and what speices of fish your state has to fish for, what the size, and limits are. Most places that sell fishing licenses will have this information. Of course if you purchase your license online you can just print the information from the website.

 

#2 Purchase a inexpensive fishing rod and reel with 4-to 10lb test line already wound. You can purchase a rod and real combo that will already have line installed for under 30$. The spin cast combo is a great way to start your learn to fish experience. The spin cast rod and reel is easy to learn to cast with, and with a little practice you will be casting your baits to where the fish are located. 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 I recommend when you first start fishing to use live bait. 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. Make sure you purchase your baits from your local bait store, I recommend this for two reasons. First the local bait store owner or worker can direct you to where to fish and how deep to place your bobber. Number 2, they know what baits to sell for different types of 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.
