Fresh water fishing in Ireland. What do I need to buy so I have the correct gear? Is ther a package out there for beginners? Could you direct me to any sites to read up on this? Could you give me advice from your own experience? Thanks a million.
Hello there. I live in the "Great Lakes" area of the US. I am an avid fisherman of trout and salmon. I think the first thing to consider is to match the prey of the salmon you’re targeting. Generally, spoons, spinners, and crank baits are what we use here.
As far as equipment, I’d start with a medium action rod and a equivalent reel that has a good drag. These fish are pure muscle, and if your drag is not set properly, they will snap you off frequently.
Best of luck in your fishing.

Also what about twitching it?
It depends on the situation. The most common retrieval is jigging(throw it out, let it sink,twitch the rod while pulling it up, reel the slack in while lowering the rod tip back down and repeat. However you can swim Gulp or jerk it or whatever. It can all be productive at times. For more info Email me

We are going for a day fishing trip what all should we pack oh it’s me and my parents and yonger sibings
If you’re going on a party boat out on the ocean (from your name I assume you’re in L.A., so that may be what you’re asking about), start with comfortable clothes and a windbreaker in case a breeze comes up, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat with a brim. Shoes which won’t be ruined by water (don’t wear sandals). It’s useful to have a small towel to wipe your hands off with. Bring a camera, too. Motion sickness pills (take before the boat leaves), unless you’ve been on the ocean before and know you don’t have a problem with seasickness.
Food and drinks will be on sale on the boat, or you can bring a sack lunch. (Party boats don’t allow you to bring coolers.) Some operations have regulations about bringing drinks aboard, but a bottle of water should be no problem.
You should also bring money to tip the crew (assuming you have a good time), pay for food, and for fish cleaning.
As far as fishing tackle, that will vary with where you’re fishing and what you’re fishing for. You can generally rent it at the landing. Same with the bait and hooks and sinkers. Check with the boat or landing for details — most of them have websites, and get to the landing well before departure so you can ask questions and buy whatever is needed. As for specific fishing questions out on the boat, ask the crew.

I was told a website of mine was suspended due to "fishing reports." Can someone tell me what these are?
Thanks guys, no I have not been doing this. I’m not sure why my website was reported but all I used it for was to keep track of bookmarks and that directory was password protected. There must be a mixup.
"Phishing" is when someone tries to fraudulently get personal information from another party for the purpose of ripping them off. For example, I say I’m from your bank and I need your social security number to process a check. Once I have your SSN, I steal your identity and make your life miserable. I sincerely hope you’re not doing something like that… there’s a special level of hell for such scuzzy bottom-feeders.

I’ve heard that there are fishing reels that have removable spools so you can use different strength line with the same rod/reel setup. If anyone knows what brands and type of reels come with removable spools I’d like to know.
The open face spinning reel is what you are most likely asking about. Just look closely at the reel you are buying. Many of them will come with and extra spool. Generally the line capacity will be different. Larger capacity spool for heavier test and smaller capacity for lighter test line. If you buy a reel with only one spool, try checking a shop that repairs reels and they probably will have extra spools from unrepairable reels that they keep for spare parts and will sell you at a reasonable price. Just remove the keeper screw from the end of the spool and swap.

I’ve fished before, but never fly fishing. How do you find a qualified guide?
It’d help to know where you are. There’s a chance you’re right smack in some Y!A user’s neighborhood and they could direct you right to the front door of the guide you want.
If I were looking for a guide I’d just do a Google search like, "Green River fly fishing guide." That would be a start. Most fly fishing shops either have in-house guides or they’re plugged into local guides and pros in the area. Sometimes you can find flyers or business cards for guides or trip services at ordinary sporting good stores. If I couldn’t come up with some leads from those sources, I’d break down and see if I could find the phone book… there must be one around here, somewhere, but I can’t imagine a guide will be that hard to find, especially if you live in an area where there’s lots of fishing.
Once you have a few leads, call up and ask them every question you can think of. Ask for references. Make sure they’re licensed and bonded, and make sure you know what the bottom line is before you leave. After that, it’s just a matter of opening your wallet — real wide…
