The wonderful sport of fishing has been around longer than anyone can date back. Fishing rods and reels of some kind have been used for thousands and thousands of years. Initially people fishing to put food on the table. These days it has become a very popular sport, and is done by many just for fun. They catch the fish, and then release the fish unharmed, maybe sneaking in a picture or two also.
So if you are ready to get involved in this wonderful sport there are some basic fishing tackle items that you will need. Since there are many types of fishing that can be done, I am going to cover the basic types of tackle you will need for saltwater fishing inshore, such as flats fishing.
We will start with the fishing rod and reel, fully equipped with the fishing line, leader, and sinkers or cork if necessary. Of course you will also have your choice of bait to, whether you want to go artificial or you want to use live bait is your choice, both have their strengths and weaknesses.
One thing that I constantly forget to bring with me on the boat is a net to scoop the fish out of the water with. This is not essential to have but it will greatly lower the odds of you loosing a prize fish because they shake them selves off of the hook before they get into the boat.
The easiest way that you can get live bait is to pay for it, the next easiest way is to catch it by using a cast net, which every angler should have in their fishing tackle supply. Not only are cast nets great for catching bait they can also be used to catch mullet, which can make great bait or a good meal on the dinner table.
A trolling motor for your boat is also a very handle tool when you are fishing inshore. This can be helpful for any type of mangrove fishing and also bass fishing on lakes. There are a lot of bays also that do not allow boats to enter certain areas, unless they have a trolling motor or paddle to move the boat.
