OK - Don't laugh or Flame Me.

Got a boat last summer and never fished off it. This year I got a license here in NH and want to try some fishing.

I usually go in the Portsmouth, NH area on the pes-kat-a-quah ( ha) in area of Great Bay and Little Bay plus the river itself. The tides are rough but I can handle them.

Any hints on using an 8 or 10 foot pole and what type of hooks and bait ? I can get Herring, Mackrel, Eel or sea worms.

Do I sink the line or troll it?

To tell you the truth, I don't care what I catch, just got the urge to fish.

BTW - I'm 62 and haven't fished since my teens

Definetly a newbie

Thanks
