Beginner Introduction to fishing

[@M1sterFancyPants]

I was clueless about the basics of fishing before watching this, not anymore! Thanks you, God bless!

[@sidneycarthell945]

New to the sport and have found your videos especially...informative. My son will thank you for teaching me the basics once he is old enough to cast his first line. Thank you!!

[@LaurieFloodTeacher]

Thank you so much! Other videos assume I know a lot of jargon. I love how you are explaining everything and not making assumptions about what people already know.

[@cannmal]

I'm a beginner and your videos are fantastic. They make me feel as though I am informed. Will be trying some of your techniques today.

[@abrelopez4012]

I used to fish w/ my father and dont remember his tricks and tips of fishing, this videos brings flash backs. Ty I subscribed

[@Jarrodmontelius]

One thing that helped me was checking out Idahos fish and game website. IDK if its in all states but Idahos has all kinds of info on the local fishing spots, what type are there, when to fish for them things like that.

[@pbradband]

Thank you! Very informative! Getting ready to take my son fishing for the very first time and sad to say, I haven't been fishing in over a decade. Thank you for taking the time to make this and other informative videos!

[@paulwood7469]

theres nothing more relaxing than fishing. Very informative video.

[@shellnm2011]

Thanks! I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Wish me luck! My goal is to not break my line more than 3 times! Fishing is a more difficult than it seems, but I'm "hooked"!

[@mohsenmahmoodi5288]

One of the best angling videos I've ever seen

[@matttomlinson6696]

I’ve just discovered your videos and wanted to say thank you! I’ve never had someone to teach me to fish, so most of it as been trial and error. Mostly error. I feel more equipped after watching your videos. I wish you the best!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thank you Matt, good luck!

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

That's great! The more u do it, the more you'll enjoy it! Tight lines and let me know if I can help in any way!

[@xxtwobitxx]

Dude i literally watch dozens and dozens of how to fish, or fishing for beginner's videos and no B.S. your video is #1 for beginner's.

[@BigTD1777]

Thank you sooo much for this video! I've wanted to learn to fish for forever now. I've even looked for classes, then came you.

[@CaseyQasem1]

VERY VERY VERY HELPFUL VIDEO,i recently moved to the St petes Florida area and fishing here is apart of most locals here, and i deceided to learn the sport,

[@Relemdeen]

[@kricci1777]

Thank you so much. Very informative! I haven't fished since I was a kid and my dad did it all for me lol and now I'm getting back into it with my boys and this has been super helpful to learn and teach them.

[@seritongga]

[@youngjay1320]

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Great video, you have a great personality for fishing education. Keep it up!

[@Hyphae_Foray]

Thank you for the video. I haven't been fishing since I was a child and your video was informative.

[@JovialPlanet]

You are really a Informative Fisherman. Thanks for the great tips

[@leevillalobos78]

Nick, thanks for all the "Informative" videos buddy, I'm a big fan. Any chance of putting together a video explains ideal fishing outfits with respects to common fish species? If not, can you possibly list a few (i.e. largemouth, cat, trout, etc.)? It would be greatly appreciated!

[@tntrex0]

I've been looking at your vids this morning. You know your stuff and have a good style. Keep up the good work!

[@AllThingsHockey4ever]

Your my new dad

[@nathancairns164]

nathan cairns

[@bgagteam560]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@206robert206]

@Xtra Spice Mikey I second that

[@wv_bearded_basser252]

I think you mean “You’re”, so that means I am your new dad. 😏

[@legarageautodetailingservi8219]

Really nice info, is like a be in the classroom with a dedicated teacher.

[@cili7]

I'm a complete newbie wanting to take my kids out for fishing. Thanks a lot for the video, great starting point. Was beginning to lose me on the terminology, but you brought it back nicely :). Only thing is, can't find the two videos you referred to at the end? Beginner bottom feeder fishing, and beginner "bobber rig" fishing. You should pop them into the description above, because it looks like you have A LOT of other videos! (they aren't under the "general fishing tips" tab at the bottom of your video page)

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

That's awesome! You're kids will love fishing! Let me know if I can help out in anyway!!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Your welcome, thanks for watching!

[@angelo8349]

I wished he showed us in details on how to tie the line to hooks and weights and floaters. Sorry, I have zero knowledge about fishing. But I learned about what kind of fishing rod I need. That's a start! Thanks!

[@youngvito262]

i use to fish with corn and a bamboo stick lol but id like to teach my son a little bit more than that. this was a big help. thanks alott

[@arnoldsalazar5851]

Retro/throwback Nick, lol. Love the videos my man keep up the solid work.

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

I liked the throwback too! Let me know if you got any qeustions!

[@gerardorodriguez222]

Great stuff man. I'm just getting into the sport and your videos have helped out big time! Thanks.

[@nativewildman9335]

My biggest chanel cat was 15lbs I was using a crappie rig ugly stik ul 4'8" pflueger president size 25 with 10 pound fire line. A friend and I was on his boat I had my big rods fishing bottom with cut shad and a greeny. No bits until my buddy started to reel in and got a 8lbs cat. All I had with me was my two bait casters for catfish and my crappie pole, I cut the spinner off and tied on a 5ott circle hook no sinker and a float set it about a foot or less. After a 2-3 minute wait my float darts under the water. I fought the fish for about 30 minutes than under the boat around the rope for the anker for the last 10 minutes of the battle. I got him to where I could grab him handed over my rod gripping the fish with both hands and said flip the bale. Landed!! That was my best catch and my friends brags about it on group fishing trips! 40lbs flathead catfish is my biggest so far Good tips for beginners good luck fishing

[@HAUNTS360]

Thanks for all the great info. You really sound like you know what you are talking about. Now I'm ready to take my three boys out for some fishing.

[@BayJoua]

hey man your video tips are clear and simple. I've never used a bait cast and heard they we're more difficult to used then a spinning reel. But I do notice using a bait cast reel is more easier to fight bigger fish with a med/heavy duty rod. I'm thinking about getting a bait cast reel and rod and was wondering what is a decent brand to start with. I don't want anything beginning but atleast intermediate. Your opinion is well appreciated thanks.

[@250raptorcrazy]

hey can u put a bobber on these and can you put high pound line on it im thinking about buying a spinning rod

[@rockyinlow]

I love your videos I'm an alright angler at this point but I seen this vid pop up in my suggestions and figured it would be worth checking out your level of knowledge on this great and wonderful sport is phenomenal

[@fishing4happiness610]

Great stuff... I know who and where to direct all the people interested in fishing.

[@keghinian]

great video very informative and to the point. thank you very much for taking the time to educate the new fans.

[@DAVISinLA]

Great overview - just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[@itd86]

Great video...can i use a medium fast action spinning rod for silicon lures or i will need with faster action

[@OrilliaFishing]

I think it would depend on what you're fishing for and the rest of the equipment. Honestly when you're first starting out, sometimes the best equipment is the only equipment you have. I always push people to the average 6' medium rod, like he did in this video. It's an all around versatile rod.

[@plushies4u531]

Back in the old days the closest lake to me was taken over by carps. I still catch them also you probably figured out what my first catch was.

[@amermajed8272]

Thank You for putting the time for this video .. much love from kuwait brother

[@youngvito262]

@youngvito262 no just bluegill mostly since it was only a few feet of line attached to the bamboo but whats funny is i went into walmart and bought a baitcaster with no knowledge of this reel. the first time out was a disaster LOL but thanks to youtube i realized it wasnt broken LOL this is great to receive info online and i want to say thanks again

[@patodiscoloco]

Great info ! Do you live in the Bay area to teach my kid how to fish

[@dj11207]

Thanks, this is a really useful skill to have if anything ever happens.

[@emilioroman7065]

Great information for someone like me...keep those informative/educational videos coming! Gracias...

[@jessevanbrunschot5967]

This video is full of valuable information! Thanks!

[@saviolopez77]

Fantastic tips Nick, keep it rolling.

[@Onewithoutnameandnumber]

Awesome Vid. Very educational for a Rookie like myself. Just a tip though, the "bluegill" fish link is hard to press cuz its right next to the video slider. Thanks though!

[@rickyp9803]

Thank you Nick, very informative.

[@b3rtop]

Great video. I've been looking for something like this since I just started fishing. Now I'm going to see if you have any sheepshead videos.

[@jofox8066]

Great video - many thanks! I'm have my first fishing lesson next weekend!

[@Sledge276]

Very helpful and informative. Thanks for posting.

[@roxydowding8315]

Hello i am just getting into fishing, i want to fish for bass as well as trout. I was wondering what reel and rod you would go with. I am looking at the Mitchell pro 300 or the pflueger president. Would you have any other recommendations? thank you for all your videos they are helping a lot

[@InformativeFisherman]

I live in Stockton, CA but we do have free events at times called FWN "Fishing With Nick" Make sure to like us on FB theinformativefisherman

[@locova]

Great video !!! New hobby found thanks a lot !!!! You rock !!!

[@glock21csv]

i have a question what u opinion about ugly stick heavy action for surfishing is from 6 foot

[@TasmanianGecko]

Hey, I just got my first fishing rod the other day (a Shakespeare Agility rod), and I'm looking forward to going fishing for the first time soon. I do have one question, though: the rod itself and some of the equipment I bought had warning labels that said that the products contain lead. Should I worry about the amount of lead in the pole and equipment, or am I just being paranoid?

[@kidbassmaster876]

Your just being paranoid just DO NOT USE LEAD SINKERS then you'll be fine just don't dump a lot of lead into the lake or whatever your fishing in ok.

[@RegalForce]

Great video! Just what I need.

[@FSTON2WLS]

7:53 I have that exact unit, also has what looks like a hook sharpener and line cutter tools

[@FishingInSpain]

Nice video, I'm really getting back into carp fishing.

[@lokesh30592]

wow!!! thank u verymuch dude... very helpfull and informative.. THANK U VERY MUCH..

[@MrSaintanaz]

Thnx a lot this video is so very helpful to all beginners like me

[@CyverDrift]

Thank you for all the info!! Keep it in up!!! Good work!!

[@darkvibes2k8]

thanks alot for the information, is there any site or book i can purchase to identify fish and know if i can eat them or not? i've never been fishing before but i want to start it as a hobbie and to also hopefully catch my tea, thanks

[@meinkimpf]

very nice documented........thanks allot ...it is helpful

[@jjhow6262]

I have an unrelated question. I inherited a fishing box from my grandfather who fished a lot , but it sat for about a year before I got it and some one was looking at it a spilled 3&1 oil in it and the oil is on everything . So what's the best way and products to clean the lures and stuff .

[@denizincortex692]

hey i got a small 6ft rod i wanna what kind of bait i should get for lake fishing

[@InformativeFisherman]

[@MaorVsTheWORLD]

love your vids!! very informative!!

[@P3PSIE1234]

great job on your videos you help me a lot i bass fish thank you

[@69Stainz]

What I also take with me is a common sponge on a string. Just toss the sponge in the water and you won't have to get down on your knees to wash your hands after releasing the fish.

[@canisioschibaya1755]

Thank you man a good tip

[@Gamementors]

[@sophieallard1443]

I'm 12 and my dad fishes but I hardly see him and I want to learn to fish myself so can you do a video on casting out and the setup plz

[@knifeproducts]

I enjoyed watching your video! but I can tell you that I am better at filleting them than catching them.

[@Billahori1]

Truly informative! No pun intended. Thanks.

[@BIGDO13]

highly informative man... thankyou...

[@IndigenousPathways]

Thanks so much for us newbies!

[@AspiePickerr]

I found it a very helpful video, thanks.

[@MrMetalinyourhead]

Instead of a slider. Witch I have never seen till now. You can use an egg sinker. Then put on a split shot so the weight does not come down and hit the hook.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Your welcome

[@MrPokemon504]

Excellent video dude keep it up !

[@BigTD1777]

Also, what are tweezers/clippers for? You didn't tell us.

[@geoffsamphire]

Cutting fishing line

[@JacobMichael75]

I am new to fishing could you tell me what would be a good set of to catch trout. I know we have trout in my area and its my favorite eating fish, I'm just not sure how to catch them.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipPQln1vZceAkKc
