Thank you for the welcome.
And thanks for all the great tips so far.
I fish off the Gloucester coast, off the rocks. Its the spot where my boyfriend Carl, (an excellent fisherman) passed away while fishing this past Father's Day. So I began to fish to see what he loved so much about it.....and now I am addicted!
As far as safety, I think I am all set. I have never been much of a dare-devil. But I go with his fishing buddy now, so I am never alone. His buddy knows the area pretty well, so I don't think I will need to check too much out as far as wading out.
I've read a bit about eels, but am hesitant as I hear they are very hard to work with. I want to say we use Mackerel for bait... not sure. Is this a good bait?
(Carl would be so proud of his girl even TOUCHING a fish, let alone going online for tips!!)
