ogre Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 hey, i'm off to france in a few weeks and since you don't need a license to fish there and i acquired one of these for free, with a few other bits thrown in for free, i thought i'd give it a go. so if anyone else fishes, i'd love to know what gear i may benefit from requiring or any useful resources, i'll post a picture of everything i have tomorow to clear up exactly what it is, but any advice would be greatly appreciated, also the rod+all equipment will be for sale in early september if i don't enjoy it, so if you're interested...

danrobinson Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 what sort of fish are you wanting to catch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 i have no idea, what ever fish there are in the local waters in france... i will clarify: i know nothing about fishing, or fish, just give me the absolute novice treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 You could start with purchasing a small aquarium and some goldfish and take it from there? That way you can fish at home in front of the telly or even better while on Trials Forum, reading your own thread about fishing and listening to this. Sorry for the utterly useless post, I'm horribly bored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 When i was in the Dominican Republic, i caught fish using hotdogs as bait, and also muscles as in those things in the supermarkets usually pickled, not a bicept. haha.

DrDoom Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Was out last night - 40+ Mackerel on the one rod with feathers, was into a brilliant shoal! Was pulling 5 in per cast for over half an hour! Had the beachcaster out with a bottom fishing rig on too - pulled up a 8lb skate, and a 6lb dogfish - good night! Released the skate - kept 5 decent size Mackerel, and the dogfish had to be killed due to the hook peircing its stomach. Was a good evening!
