Hi everyone! I'm a newbie here and looking for a bit of advice. Please forgive my ignorance, this is all very new to me...
For a long time now my fella has mentioned he'd like to go fishing. He's only fished a handful of times when he was a kid so he'd be very much a beginner but it's his birthday in a couple of weeks and I thought it would be a nice surprise if I could arrange a little fishing trip for him.
The problem is, I really don't know where to start! After looking online I'm a bit overwhelmed with the many types of fishing, specialist equipment for these types fishing, permits, etc... I have no idea what I'm doing but from what I've read I'm guessing we'll be best going down the coarse fishing route?
We live in Leeds, West Yorkshire and have zero fishing knowledge or equipment. What would he need to get started? I've seen complete fishing kits on Amazon for under £50 but would these be appropriate? What should I be looking for?
Also if anyone in the West Yorkshire area knows of any good places for beginners to fish I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
Chelle
