There are a few ways of learning, the hardest way being trial and error. The best way is to find an instructor for one-on-one instruction.
1. Get seasickness medication: If you’re going to fish on the water, nothing is worse than having your fishing trip ruined by seasickness. Most seasickness medicine is appropriate (e.g. Bonine). Even seasoned fishermen take some on rough-weather days. Take one tablet before you go to sleep, another when you wake up and a third one before you go on deck.
2. Buy a reference book: There are a lot of good books available at your local bookshops or online. The book should give you instructions as well as terms and definitions. There are some things you may not immediately understand but that you should know anyway. For example, learn how to tie different kinds of knots. This knowledge will also be invaluable for other reasons throughout your life.
3. Get on a party boat: There are party vessels that carry from five to as many as sixty anglers. The boat will usually provide you with everything you need from bait, lures, rod, reel, sinkers to hooks. They will show you how to fish and even take the fish off the hook for you as well. You will make plenty of new fishing mates on board and they will assist and advise you. Party boats will generally cost between $25 - $70 a day per person and the fish you catch are yours to eat. A party boat is a boon for beginners.
4. Pick your pier: Assuming you have already learned the skills to use a rod and reel, you need to look for a fishing pier. The majority of coastal cities have a public pier or pay-to-fish pier. You can rent tackle and buy bait on these piers. If you do have problems, there are many pier anglers willing to assist and give you tips.
5. Party or pier?: You may want to do either step three or four times or both at the same time at this point. The best thing to do is to practise both ways several times to really learn them.
6. The reel affair: The traditional reel is probably what you’ve been using up to this point. The traditional reel is designed for a lot of wear and tear. However, perhaps you now ought to consider buying another type or / and make of reel. Ideally, you have already met other fishermen and maybe made a friend or two who can assist you in selecting a reel. You could even ask a tackle shop owner for advice.
Firstly, you ought to learn the mechanism of the reel and the other equipment. Learning to cast, tie knots and bait is not really all that complicated. Secondly, you must learn where to fish. Successful fishermen know where the fish are schooling. Fish move from place to place and knowledgeable fishermen know these patterns and are able to anticipate where the fish are likely to be schooling.
