" If you're looking for a fun and easy
way to get started with fishing, pan fishing
is the perfect activity, " says Averie Rose
Bonin, the 16-year-old host of 'Hooked'
on Bell Fibe TV and World Fishing
Network. " Giant bluegill, crappie, and
sunfish are great species to target because
they are plentiful and easy to catch. "
As for gear, she says simple is best for
newbies.
" Start simple with a bobber, small
hooks, and worms, and then branch out
and try new gear and techniques like
small jig heads or drop-shot rigs. "
Legendary Canadian angler, Bob Izumi,
echoes that - which is good news in an
era where everything seems to be getting
more expensive by the day.
" You can get started with $50 or under, "
he explained. " When it comes to rods and
reels, there are so many different levels
(of price). Just shop around. "
LIVE BAIT VS. LURES
The advantage to live bait is that it's real
food that fish actually eat. It has smells,
movement and, yes, blood that are irresistible.
They aren't realistic; they're real.
The upside is you're almost guaranteed
to have bites. The downside is three-fold.
You need to have somewhere to get it
(there may not be a bait shop nearby), it
doesn't last forever (you can't store live
bait for a long period of time without special
equipment), and you have to know
how to put it on the hook properly (and

some don't want to deal with touching
live bait to begin with!).
If you find a local bait shop and are
going fishing that same day, you can simply
Google how to deal with the last point.
There are a ton of YouTube videos of how
to bait your hook with fish, squid, minnows,
worms and
more.
But most of the
time, the occasional
angler isn't doing a
dedicated fishing trip
but rather, is looking
for a way to pass the
time at a new anchorage,
find themselves
near the water on
land, or have grandkids
visiting and they
are looking for an
activity.
In those cases,
artificial lures are the
way to go. They are
easy to find in-store
or order online. And,
for many styles, the
hook is already in
place. The downside
is that they don't look,
smell, or 'act' exactly
as live baits do.
" If you put a live
worm on your hook,
it takes care of the

whole 'looking like a worm' thing by
itself, " Armitage explains. " But I understand
that some people don't like touching
live bait or you haven't planned on fishing
and want to grab something from the
tackle box. Lures work very well, and I'd
say a couple of rubber worms, a crankbait
fish lure, and a spoon or two will
