Bryan Kolstad is a marine mechanic who lives and works in Maine. He
works on all types of boats, but frequently treats fishing boats, as
fishing is such a popular activity in Maine. Like many Mainers, Kolstad
also enjoys getting out on a fishing boat when he has some free time. If
you are planning on going fishing, there are many essential supplies
that you will need to get started.
- Rod: Every fisher needs a
strong, durable rod to pull their fish in with. Look for one with a
weight you are comfortable with and a strong reel.
- Line: You
will need to keep lots and lots of extra line in your tackle box,
because the small, thin material is something you will go through very
quickly.
- Hooks: These are another item you will need plenty of
extras of, especially if you are a beginner. These small items can
easily get lost in the water or even on the boat. Be careful with them,
though, as they are very sharp.
- Bait or lures: In order to
catch the fish, you will need some bait. Different types of fish may
respond to bait in different ways, but for the most part, basic worms
should be fine. If you want to take things to the next level, though,
you can opt for a lure that looks like a very small minnow, which will
attract larger fish.
These are just a few of the many things you
should keep in your fishing supply kit. Bryan Kolstad enjoys fishing in
his spare time.
