The practice of fishing—also known as angling—began over 40,000 years ago as a means of nourishment.
Fish were caught in both freshwater and saltwater locations, and anglers counted on their daily catch for survival.
It was only later—around 2000 BCE—that fishing became a sport.
At that time in Egypt, folks began fishing with rods, lines, and nets. In the 4th century BCE, silk lines were used, along with hooks made from needles. Bamboo rods were utilized, and cooked rice served as bait.
The history of fishing has been traced using texts from all around the world.
Interestingly, the same trials that early fisherman faced are still prevalent today; anglers must find their catch and lure them in, both of which are not easy tasks.
Perhaps it’s the thrill of the hunt that keeps dedicated anglers coming back time and time again.
These days, anglers fish for a multitude of reasons. While many folks continue to partake in the sport to catch the evening meal, others simply enjoy fishing as a hobby.

I have been working on that for over 50 years. LOL
Youtube is wonderful resource for that now a days, Richard Gene the fishing machine, Realistic fishing, Chris Souders, 1 rod 1 reel fishing, hundreds of others at all skill levels and all types of angling.
But there is no substitute for just getting out and doing it, putting your time in and paying your dues.
Videos can help but the fish don't watch them so you keep trying until you find what they want. You work on your skills until you can drop a cast under a gnat's behind in a 30 mph wind and learn to read the water and weather better than a book. And you will never be done, every time out there is something to learn if you pay attention.

They don't teach that in the fish's schools. ( vidio watching)🤣
Youtube . . . For shore fishing, surf fishing,pier,freshwater, you name it, you will get al the best advice on everything from spooling your reel,bait selection and a string of techniques for fishing all kinds of fish.
Good luck and keep them lines tight.
It depends on what kind of fish you want to catch. And where you live. I'm from Oregon so I fish for trout,salmon,steelhead,largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, perch,crappie and catfish. So everytime I go fishing it can be different depending on location, type of fish and time of year. I would say a good place to start would be YouTube just to get a general idea of when and where you should fish. But there really is no substitute for getting out there and just fishing. After almost 40 years on this planet I've almost got it down.. lol
We almost all have it down , forever be a work in progress.
As soon as I get home from Church.
