Types of fishing

There are so many methods and types of fishing around that it's impossible to get your head around them all.

Surfcasting, fly fishing, popping, luring, deep sea fishing, live baiting, kayak fishing, pond fishing, kite fishing, spear fishing, bottom fishing, using floats / markers, trawling. I doubt I've got them all.

Right now I'm into baiting (i.e. using fish / prawn meat or live scads / prawns) and I usually fish in ponds or out at sea. Somewhere down the road, I intend to pick up luring (with a baitcasting reel) and popping. Hopefully one day, fly fishing as well.

The monsoon season is a good time to look through your tackle box and decide what's needed and what's not.

Here's to a wonderful 2011, in search of brighter skies and bigger fish!
