Use straightforward tackle that suits the method, mark and species you are likely to meet.
Keep bait and rigs simple while you learn the mark, tide and target species.
Check tide, swell, footing and local signs before fishing. If the mark does not feel safe, choose another day or another spot.
Is the thought of going into a tackle shop a bit daunting?
Most starter fishing kits that are available will have tackle that you do not need as they can sometimes try and cover more than one type of fishing. Our kits are specifically designed for sea and estuary fishing and are therefore particularly well suited to fishing around the Cornish coastline.
We feel confident that, whatever your budget, with one of our kits you will have all the equipment you need to go sea fishing in Cornwall and actually catch a fish!
