FAQ
How far away from shore should I stand when fishing?
You are more likely to catch fish the further you stand from shore. This increases the likelihood of getting wet.
Are there any special licenses required to fish?
If you are planning to take fish out-of-state or across county lines, then no. Many states allow anglers the freedom to fish without the need of a license. For more information, contact your local Fish & Wildlife department.
Is it safe to eat fish caught by someone else?
No matter where your fish is purchased, make sure you ask the seller whether they have an expiration date. The fish is safe to eat if it doesn't have an expiration. You shouldn't eat fish that smells or looks old.
What type of fishing permit do I require?
A fishing license must be purchased if you plan on fishing in state waters (i.e. rivers, lakes and bays). A valid fishing license is required by state law for anglers before they can fish. You must have a valid fishing license if you intend to fish in federal waters, such as the Great Lakes and oceans. You do not require a fishing licence to fish in federal waters. However, if you plan to take any fish home with you, then you must first check with local authorities to make sure you aren't breaking any laws.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. When you start moving the rod forward, keep the tip of the rod perpendicular to the surface of the water. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fish rod is a skill that takes time.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
