Joseph, no reason why you couldn't start right now.

You just need the proper gear and a lot of time to practice. If you're near the water to practice, great. However, you should try to find a safe place that is not crowded - a large field like a high school football or soccer field.

If you're practicing with 5 oz bank sinkers - you have to be careful where those things land (whether they are attached to your line or "break off") as they can hurt other people or yourself.

Easy does it....

Do you have the proper equipment?

Like a 10-12 foot medium heavy conventional stick, with a conventional reel loaded up with 25 lb. test MONO and three turns of 50 lb. mono shock leader??

Get Ron Arra's book and do some reading...
