Welcome to Fishsafe
If you like being outdoors and surrounded by nature, fishing may be the perfect hobby to adopt. It requires minimal investment in terms of gear, and we can tell you from first-hand experience that it’s very fun and rewarding.
You get to sit, unwind, and leave the worries of work behind while reeling in fish and connecting with nature.
Honestly, angling has brought us great joy and innumerable friendships, and we hope it can do the same for you. If you’re new to fishing and need some beginner tips, look no further than this site.
Who Are We?
As anglers with over ten years of fishing experience, we believe anyone at any age can head outdoors and take up trawling as a hobby. After all, this passion has brought us together to create this website, even though we all come from different parts of the world and have different interests.
Angling may seem complicated at first, but honestly, you can get going with just a reel and some bait plus a license.
Whether it’s gear selection, fishing etiquette, or basic skills like tying knots, we’ll cover them all here to help you set off on your angling trip with the least amount of stress possible.
Based on our experience in teaching friends, families, and kids how to fish, it shouldn’t take long before you’re ready to head to a dock or river.
