Segment 1: Preparation
- register with the Saltwater Recreational Registry Program (free),
- obtain a fishing license if you plan to harvest shellfish or use crab pots,
- understand current size and bag limits for your target species, and
- gather the appropriate gear, including a suitable rod, reel, line, hooks, and bait or artificial lures.
- Call a local tackle show and ask what’s biting and what are they biting on
- Go to the tackle shop and get the necessary rigging
- Be careful putting the bait on the hook so you don’t get it stuck on your finger.
Segment 2: What to do and watch for when your rod is cast in the water
- Hold the rod to actively feel for bites
- Place it in a rod holder while you watch for signs of a fish.
- Put your finger on your line so you can feel if you have a “fish on”
- Watch the tip of your rod to see if it bends
- Watch the current to see if your rod gets washed up to shore if you are standing on land
