Just wanted to say what an amazing time I had today fishing at Dover's pier.
This was my first ever experience and what a day it was too.
Firstly we didnt have a clue but my mate had fished before (later I found out the last time he did was at 8 years of age).
We bought a set of rods and bait hooks for £40 each and was set to fish ( I guess we paid £5-£10 too dear but had no choice being there without rods).
So we got to the pier at around 8:45am and started to fish, my mate helped me set my rod off and for 1 hour we had the line keep getting loose, no distance on the throw and basically nothing.
In the end some 1 had to show us the correct way and I got some assistance from the life guard.
Once I knew the technique we caught between us 37 Mackerels.
Great first experience and next time I go should be better prepared to get a wider variety of fish.
I never thought I would like fishing but its a cool hobby!!
