FAQ
Are there any special licenses required to fish?
No, not unless you plan to take fish out of state or across county lines. Most states permit anglers to fish with no license. You can check with your local Fish & Wildlife office to find out what licensing is required.
How much is basic fishing gear?
Basic fishing equipment can be purchased for between $100-$200. This includes rod/reel combos and bait as well as a tackle box. You'll need to spend between 500-$1000 to get a bigger boat.
To fish, do we need a pole?
Yes. A bobber is used to keep the bait from getting away when fishing. The bobber is made up of the float as well as the line. You attach the hook and line to the lure. Once the line is out, let go of it. If you don't use a bobber, the lure may sink into the water, which makes it difficult for the fish to bite.

How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. Use soap and water is the most popular method. After washing the item, rinse it thoroughly. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection.

They also contain surfactants, which help to remove dirt and grime. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Stain removers can be applied directly to the spot where the oil or fat is present. This will remove the stain without causing damage to the underlying material.
