Hi All,
I live in Victoria BC, and have never fished in my life (unless you count sleeping in a boat as a child during the Salmon Derby in Port Alberni!). I was talking to a colleague last summer who is really into fishing and it piqued my interest. As the weather is getting nicer, I'm really looking for a great new hobby I where I can enjoy our mild climate. Along with a new hobby I'd love to learn a skill where I can provide food if the need ever arises.
I'm just looking for general advice on where to start. I was thinking bass fishing, mainly because I've heard there are great spots near here. It would be from the shore, as I don't think investing in a boat for a new hobby is the best idea!
What would be decent, and not to expensive, equipment for a beginner?
I've read so much the last week on where to start, how to start and what I would need and honestly I'm very confused. I found this forum, and I'm hoping some of you kind peeps would shed some light on where to start .
Cheers
