Or in the middle of the summer you can wear plain trousers for the sea and flip flops. The equipment varies depending on the kind of fishing; namely, depending on the practice to do, it is necessary to have a specific type of fishing rod and of fishing reel. It is important the presence of an exact and not too elevated number of people, too.
