Having not grown up near the beaches, the only fishing that I have ever done is freshwater. Even with freshwater, my experience is limited. About all I know how to do is bait a hook, cast, and take a bream or bass off the hook. Though for me there is a LOT more casting and rebaiting than reeling one in . I am clueless when people start talking about different artificial lures, rigs, tests, water conditions, etc.
I would love to learn more about fishing, especially brackish and salt water. I have young kids, and I would like to enjoy spending some time on the bay or surf fishing with them. So, for all of you who do know what you are doing , do you have any suggestions for how I could learn more? Though it would be a blast to do some private charters, I don't really have that kind of extra $$$ now. I would really be interested in beginner workshops or "lessons", where someone shows you in a hands on way how to do everything. I thought about Bass Pro Shop, but I fear being one of 30 people crammed in an aisle like sardines trying to listen to someone talking over the announcements, while a college kid squeezes through the group to get a big cooler. If BPS does have something, has anyone been to any of their classes? It sounds like I'm looking for a small, Montessori fishing school. Please help!
Thanks for any suggestions!
