Overview
Shore fishing means fishing from the coastline rather than a boat. It includes different methods; the right approach depends on the location, conditions and your experience.
How it works
Learn to read your fishing position, prepare tackle and present bait with guidance. Observe what happens and adjust your approach as you learn.
Basic setup
Start by identifying every part of the tackle and its purpose. An instructor can demonstrate connections, bait preparation and safe presentation before you fish.
When it is used
At suitable coastal locations when conditions allow. Ask the school which session and location suit your experience.
Practical tips
- Check the space around you before casting.
- Keep your tackle organised and collect all discarded line.
- Ask for help with unfamiliar fish and hooks.
Fish with care
Keep handling gentle and brief, wet your hands before touching fish and ask your instructor to demonstrate safe unhooking. Take all litter and discarded line home. Check local rules and conditions before fishing.
