Fishing started over 40,000 years ago as a basic survival method mainly using wooden spears, basic weighted nets and bone rods. It was also a job for commoners, with fishermans trading their daily catches for other necessities in marketplaces.
Although fishing has been industrialized and main supplies come from fish farms, fishing is still a popular hobby amongst many enthusiasts living near water bodies seeking more time with nature, and dopamine inducing catches.
Deep sea fishing is a sport and commercial activity that takes place in deep ocean waters far away from any visible shore. It targets large, powerful marine species like marlins, tunas, and groupers using specialized, heavy-duty equipment.
Shore, or coastline fishing involves casting lines from beaches, jetties, or rocky breakwaters, targeting species like barramundi, groupers, and stingrays using surfcasting or bottom-feeder rigs.
Freshwater fishing involves catching fish in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs using rods, reels, and specific baits or lures. Popular target species include bass, tilapia, and catfish, while essential gear typically consists of natural, and artificial baits
To cast your rods
Rod choice depends heavily on the fishing style. Lighter, flexible rods suit freshwater casting while heavier, stiffer rods are built to handle the strain of deep sea catches.
Fishing reels generally fall into four main categories, categorized by their design and how line is released: Spinning, Baitcasting, Spincast, and Fly reels. Choosing the right one depends on your experience level and the target fish.
Angling uses a rod, reel and hook to catch one fish at a time, great as a hobby. On the other end, netting utilizes mesh nets to capture numerous fishes at once, typically used for commercial selling.
Netting can catch accidental unwanted species, tear through underwater plants, and ruin certain aquatic ecosystems in the process. Be sure to look out for legal rules and restrictions in your area before net fishing.

Our personal favorites
Baits are natural or artificial substances used to attract fish via scent, taste, and or appearance, while lures are artificial devices designed to mimic prey and entice fish to bite via action, flash, and vibration.
The choice between baits and lures often depends on the target species, water conditions, and personal preference. Baits are effective for attracting fish with a natural scent or taste, while lures can be more versatile and exciting to use.
