The guide of fishing
To start you need to have the one thing that all anglers need that is patience , the day begins with the preparation and that means making sure you have everything that you need , the rod and reel are the number one of any fishing day out so that is where we will begin .
Make sure that the eyes are straight and in alignment before you leave the house as when you get there it will be too late for any repairs .
Make sure the reel works and can attach to the rod ,make no mistake this may sound daft but many is the time i have gone out with a new reel to find it doesn't gel up to the rod and casting is too difficult so get used to both ,before you leave , check your hooks ,weights and line and you have plenty of everything as it is sometimes a long trek to the nearest tackle shop .
Finally your ready to leave you have the tackle, the bait and the time , all that's needed now is the location where do you want to go ,there is ample of places around the uk ,inland and sea . We will look further into places to fish and getting there later ,but first is making sure that parking will be no problem where ever you choose and make sure there is no restrictions as the last thing you or your fishing buddy want is a parking ticket or clamp on your return .
I believe that everyone should have the enjoyment of fishing it supplies a means of food as well as a relaxing hobby and there is nothing like eating what you have caught ,if you don't like the idea then throw them back and i have thrown back quite a few large fish as well as small .
Once you have chosen a place the next thing is the set up of fishing rod ,reels and bait you can always judge what breaking strain line you need on arrival which we shall go into in more details later on the next page ,but meantime we will stick with just the preliminaries ,you have arrived found an ideal location not too close to others as cross lines don't make people very happy unless the tide has turned and it brings the line in ,you bait up your hook and make sure its securely on there maybe with twine it all depends on what type of fishing you are doing i prefer to use a deep 3 way trace with a heavy weight and fish from the pier i have caught many a dogfish and ray this way also the conger eels put up a great fight and go up to a decent weight ,also there is a lot of other bottom feeding fish .
(Casting is not hard and can be perfected you can also get practice in when your not fishing on open fields or parks where there is not many people around ).we will look into all this when we have decided wether to do sea fishing or river fishing.
A visually impaired person does a lot of things by touch, count money, shop for food to name just 2 ,when you run your fingers over the ridges of a coin and feel the size of a coin then you can tell ,with fishing its much the same ,once you have mastered the setting up of rod,reel,line ,hook and bait then the casting ,you are ready to settle down and enjoy, if you hold the rod under your arm and the line between your finger and thumb with the other hand about 9" away from the reel and pull it out slightly just about 6" will do it attach the bell at the tip and wait then sense for any movement once you have a bite you go by the same principle as before wait be patient for 2nd or 3rd bite then strike upwards with the rod ,if its a small bite just a gentle strike will be enough,if its a big bite and the rod jerks or bounces then a more forceful strike will do it ,the adrenalin will be exactly the same and after the first day you will be hooked on it .
