To start with,just keep it simple........and cheap.Firstly,you will need a
license which is around £22.Begin with just a basic starter kit.When I first
started,it was sea fishing and a starter kit of around £30.I also didn't
have much idea.Some local youngsters gave me some tips and that was
it.........no stopping me.

Fishing folk in general are a friendly lot and will gladly help you,all you
have to do is ask.Remember,they too were onc beginners.

HI ALL,

I am interested in starting to fish.
Im not shure what type but id like to try local canals or Kingsbury Water
Park.

I have been to my local tackle shop and they have sugested to buy a Pole
for
about £6 or go for a starter Kit at about £30,

When the chap was talking to me it was just blowing my mind - i did not
understand much of what he was saying
Information Overload i think.

Can anyone help with what i should start with and any good places in
Birmingham (UK) to fish.

All the best

Steve
