Once you have decided that you want to take up fishing as one of your hobbies you need to learn the basics of the sport. You could learn by trial and error, which is the most difficult way to learn or you could latch on to an experienced angler or hire the services of an instructor to teach you the basics.
1. Buy seasickness medication
If you plan to go out to sea with some experienced anglers (it is not advisable to go out on your own if you are just setting out in this sport) you should get yourself some sea sickness medication to prevent yourself fro ruining your fishing experience. Bonnie is a sea sickness medication that works well with everyone and is easily available at the local drug store. There is nothing to worry about as even the most seasoned fishermen take sea sickness medication. The best way is to take one pill before you sleep and one when you wake in the morning then another when you board the boat.
2. Buy a reference book
Get yourself some good fishing reference books. Do not go for the fancy expensive ones. There are a lot of fishing books at the local boo store and sifting through the pages will give you a fairly good idea of which ones are best for you. There will be some things that you will not really understand in the beginning but you should read it any way. These are really about safety and legalities of fishing.
3. Go to a party
Book yourself onto a fishing party boat. Fishing party boats provide anglers with everything they need for their fishing trip. These fishing party boats carry from 10 to 15 anglers and provide them with equipment such as rods, line and bait. The crew assists the anglers with advice and fishing techniques and when you get your first catch they will also help you get the catch off the hook. If you are an amateur the mates of the boat will soon spot you and linger close to assist you whenever you need it and you will not even have to ask. Party bats will cost you anywhere from $25 to $70 for a day and you can keep the fish you catch. This is a very good way for beginners to the sport of fishing.
4. Pick your pier
If you have already acquired some fishing skills with your rod and line then the best option for you is to get yourself a pier to fish from. Many coastal places have a pay-to-fish pier and these are good spots to hone your skills as an amateur angler. You will find many anglers on the pier ready to assist you in case you get into trouble.
5. Party or pier
Alternate between party boats and piers as many times as you can, this will help you get the experience you require to lure the kind of fish you are looking for and you get to learn from the other experience angers too. This is the best way to learn all about this exciting sport.
6. The reel deal
You are probably using the conventional reel that most beginners are used to up till now. It is time you experimented with different types of reel. Ask around on the pier and party boats and also at the local sport store about the many types of fishing reel that you could use to improve your fishing skills.
What you need to do is to understand the mechanics of the reel and associated equipment. There is a lot to learn like casting, tying knots, hooking bait and a lot more. Most importantly you need to know how to choose a fishing location. Experienced anglers know exactly where the fish are biting and how to follow a particular fish they are after. Learning the habitats and feeding habits of a fish is important and can only come with experienced. So learn something every chance you get and you will soon be one of the expert anglers lurking along the water ways out there.

hobby electronics suppliers
Source for electronic hobby kits?
Other than Ramsey electronics? Looking for a supplier of electronic hobby kits other than Ramsey Electronics. Thanks in advance!
Thanks BobB.
Unfortunately, parts-express only has a couple of special pieces. If you look at Ramsey, they have practical stuff. FM and AM transmitters, amplifiers, filters, radios, multimeters, battery controls, cameras, timers…. stuff that people actually use.
Truth be told I solder, test, and resell these things. I’m just tired of dealing with Ramsey because they don’t give discounts for bulk orders, shipping is slow, and component failure rate is 5%
@Rosy
Thanks for that. Unfortunately ordering from the UK entails custom fees and taxes on the order of 25% rendering the resale non-profitable for me.
www.parts-express.com sells the Velomen (I think that I spelled that correctly) series of kits.
The days of Heathkit are long gone, sad to say.
Far Circuits sells circuit boards from projects published in magazines and books.

hobby robotics kits
Hobby Robotics kit. Soldered circuit and assembled but doesn’t work. Troubleshooting ideas/tips?
For my high school physics class we have been assigned a project where we must solder and assemble a circuit, so we picked an Escape Robot Kit. We soldered and assemble and it won’t work at all. There must be a problem with how we soldered or something. Any ideas of how to potentially quickly solve the situation?
It will take as long as it takes.
Find a DVM and measure every voltage on the circuit with respect to ground (or -ve supply). Pencil them in on the circuit. Then sit down and consider how the circuit works and see if the voltages stack up. If you have a wrong voltage, look around that stage for an error. Work your way back towards the input until the voltages are correct.
Assume that the design and circuit are correct. Don’t attempt to modify the design. Just look for errors on your part. Don’t discount faulty components. Quite often new, out of the box components can be faulty.
