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
