Free fishing tip: Fish the water you can reach well (step 6 of 7 from "Shore Fishing with a Spinning Rod").

First hour: 10–15 metres, along the edge, next to a weed line or drop if you can see it. Count 1–2–3 on a spinner retrieve, slow. Worm: sit, rod in a forked stick or your hand, wait, twitch.

A bite is a tick or the rod nodding, not a Hollywood slam every time. Set with a short lift, not a helicopter.

You'll need

  • Casts landing in water
  • Retrieve or wait matching the rig
  • Trash in the bag not the reeds
