How To
Finding The Best Fishing Spot

Deep sea fishing requires a boat. This is expensive. Shallow water fishing can be done from shore and is therefore free of cost. Shallow water fishing is the best option if you want to catch trout. However, if you're looking for barracuda, you'll have to head out to deeper waters.
Depending on your preference, there are many types of fishing spots. Some places offer only one type of fishing while others have several options. For example, certain places are famous for their bass fishing, while others have a specialization in fly fishing. Some locations are also famous for their shark fishing or crabbing.
