Any ideas for a fishing vacation?

Maria Gallercia asked:


I am new to fishing, and I don’t know what to purchase to start a tackle box. I know I need a fishing rod and bait, but that’s all. What do you bring on your fishing trips? Is Alaska the best place in the U.S. to fish? How do you start a tackle box, and what do you include in it? What is the best fishing rod out? Please give a crash course on fishing, and what’s the best place to go on a fishing trip. When it comes to the equipment, I want the best and am willing to pay for the best. I don’t know the difference between the saltwater and freshwater equipment needed. I want to surprise my boyfriend who is frantic about fishing (and hunting). Your advice and help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Wow, this a VERY vague question. I’m gonna try to make this answer as short as possible, because you might have to repost this question again (slightly more detailed). Here goes…

    1. Determine if your going to go fresh/saltwater or your gonna spend ALOT of money. Not all gear is interchangeable.
    2. Find out what species of fish you are going after. This will determine the size of your gear.
    3. Where are you going to be fishing? Beach, shore, lake, ocean, boat, etc

    Besides a rod and reel, you’ll probably need a chair, net, hook remover, line cutter, beer/wine, etc. Also, ask yourself if you have enough patience for this sport. This could go on and on. Good Luck

    There is specific information needed for each type of fishing and location as to what equipment to use. I would suggest fly fishing for bonefish in the Florida keys. Great fun. Contact a local guide and they usually have all the equipment already for rent at a fee.

    i’d go with a cheap telescopic rod and use worms on your hooks..they generaly get eaten by many species of fish..no need to buy the best gear if your not some pro
