il cacciatore Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Went fishing today and enjoyed it so much I'm going to take it up. Though I don't have any kit. Anyone recommend somewhere online to get the kit from? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Are we talking proper fishing here as in coarse or fling it and hope sea fishing or even elitist fluff chucking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 If you were doing course fishing I would recommend one of the many cheap starter kits that most fishing shops sell. That way if you fall out of it in a few months you haven't lost £100's like a lot of my friends have. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oly Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 If you were doing course fishing I would recommend one of the many cheap starter kits that most fishing shops sell. That way if you fall out of it in a few months you haven't lost £100's like a lot of my friends have. Personally I would stay away from these, they are often cheap rubbish which won't catch you a thing. Figure out of what fishing you like, river, lake, sea, ledgering, float, pole, etc and buy some half decent gear for that disipline. I had everything for all types of fishing, then had it all nicked...which was probably a good thing in hindsight as it allowed me to get the insurance money for all of it (over £1k - it's amazing what you collect!!) then bought the gear I that I wanted for the type of fishing I most liked....river fishing. So I spent ~£150 and have everything I need and it's all half decent gear that's lasted me the last 12 years. Now I know that £150 went a lot further back then, but conversely prices have dropped rapidly, and I reckon you can get a similar set up for similar money these days. Not too far from you is John Norris in Penrith - very helpful for fly fishing (which I reckon you'll be up to being up there in Scotland) - also online - http://johnnorris.co.uk/system/shopassistant.htm If your ever down in Cheshire check out Stapeley Water Gardens MASSIVE angling centre (all types of fishing) - http://www.stapeleywg.com/angling.asp?style=angling Good luck and tight lines mate, Oly.

il cacciatore Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Think most of the fishing I'll do will be loch. Father has a decent beach caster so sorted for that. I'll try those links. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Think most of the fishing I'll do will be loch. Father has a decent beach caster so sorted for that. I'll try those links. Cheers! I take it by the word Beach Caster the Loch is sea water and tidal? Reason i ask is your gonna look mighty silly fishing for Trout or Pike with a beach caster I have gear for Coarse - Dead baiting - Trolling - sea - Boat and will be listing some soon in the sales section as i need to sell up. I already listed my Dead baiting rods and pod etc for Pike. LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
