Basic fishing equipment is around $100-$200 for rod/reel combination, bait, tackle box, and so on. A larger boat will cost you between $500-$1000.
What should you wear when fishing?
Protect your skin from the elements with clothes. You can protect yourself from the elements with gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat. Consider adding insect repellent.
Do I need special licenses to fish?
No, not unless you plan to take fish out of state or across county lines. Many states allow anglers the freedom to fish without the need of a license. Find out the requirements by contacting your local Fish & Wildlife authority.
What can I do to get my children interested in fishing?
Absolutely! Children love fishing. The majority of children who are raised fishing will never stop. There are many things you can do to encourage your child to try fishing.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
