There are only two basic types of fishing. There is saltwater fishing and there is freshwater fishing. Most start with freshwater because that is the easiest to find and the easiest to do. There is a bigger challenge with saltwater fishing because you are fishing in deeper water with bigger fish, but it is not something everyone can do all of the time. Most do this type of fishing just a few times in their life, unless of course, they live near the shore. Otherwise, it’s not exactly cheap to go all of the time.
