Hi

I am about to take up sea-fishing (well anyway try it to see if I
like it!).

I am going to borrow the basic equipment and a friend who's
been fishing once or twice - we are going to Shoreham in
Sussex on Saturday to fish off the sea-wall at the harbour
entrance.

I have a load of questions that some of you might be good
enough to answer:

1. How much should I budget for a basic Rod and Reel if I buy?
2. Line strength - what's best for a beginner?
3. Hook sizes - same question!
4. Bait - what's best - so far heard Lugworms and
Black Rags are good??
5. Best time of day to go c/f tides?
6. Best time to go c/f weather?
7. Anything else that I should buy?
8. Any tips that you remember from your first outings?
9. Are there any books/mags/websites you recommend?

(I have no idea what type/size of fish are around Shoreham
at this time of year!)

Any other advice gratefully received!!!

Thanks in advance

But !!! be warned
If you catch, you, like the fish, will be hooked.....
