GoFishing

To most people angling is simply sticking a bait onto a hook and reeling in the fish.

In reality, it is far more complex than that.

There's a whole lot more to catching fish than meets the eye, plus there is a whole array of terms and slang used in fishing that can alienate newcomers and returners.

That's why we have compiled a glossary of terms. Simply click on the term, word or phrase below and you'll get a comprehensive description of what it means...
