Go to your local tackle shop. Tell them you are just starting. Buy some bait and sinkers. Buy a jig or two. Go to another bait shop and do the same thing again. they will get you started.

What area you in?

Go and just watch others for a while. Not all night but watch for an hour. See what others are doing. Don't hang your hat on what one guy is doing. Watch a few different people who are catching.


Do not go wading out bravely . Big balls will get a beginner in big trouble. Stay high and dry for a while til you learn the ropes.


Try to hook up with someone who knows what they are doing. There are lots of people looking for someone to go fishing with. Its always safer with at least one other person and if the person knows what they are doing , your learning curve will be fast.

Read the message board. There's info here that will take you years to get on your own.

Good Luck
