>>60989I go fishing quite regularly and have been doing so for the past like 10 years and the only knot I know is the clinch knot. I mean, you can go out and learn every knot under the sun if you want, but chances are you'll probably just develop a favourite knot and use it for everything, anyway.
Learning which fish is what comes with time. You catch a dozen Snapper and you'll know what a Snapper looks like from them on. I've never met anyone who can remember the bag limits for everything off the top of their head. It would be pretty pointless to sit there memorising bag limits anyway, as they're subject to change. I just have something like pic related (biggest I could find in GIS as they don't want to give it away for free). They sell them for like $10 in my country and it lists all the fish you're likely to catch in that state, as well as legal sizes and bag limits. Hell, it even tells you things like what's good to eat and that. They're laminated, so I just throw it in the bottom of my tackle box.
