First Go to your preferred fishing spot whether it will be a lake, river or ocean make sure you bring a fishing rod or handline and a tackle box with some bate and a hook/sinker, the bait needs to be something that will draw fish towards it. Such as old fish/shellfish.
Walk down to the water's edge with your rod and tackle box in your hand.
Almost at the bottom of your rod there is a medium sized cylinder object which is called a reel. Pull the line of the reel and put it through all the little circles going up the rod make sure you put it through biggest to smallest. Once you have put the line through, all the circles pull a fair bit of line out of the front of the rod.
Tie the hook to your line with a trace which is a piece of nylon tied to the side of your string. The trace needs to be not all the way to the end of the line but almost. At the very end of the line tie a sinker, the sinker needs to be heavy enough to hold the line on the ground.
Get your piece of bait out of your tackle box and stab the hook through so that it won't come off.
On the top of the reel there is a little half moon shaped metal bar called the bailing arm, carefully put the rod on one of your shoulders with your hands and don't let go then flick the baling arm over with one of your fingers and keep your finger on the line so it doesn't go everywhere . Now with all your might fling the rod forward towards the sea without letting go of the end of the rod and at the same time take your finger off the line.
If you do this right your line should fly into the water and be held there by the weight of the sinker.
Leave the line in the water until you feel a tug on your line. If there is only one tug that means it was just a bite, reel the line in to put more bait on.
To reel in the line you turn the handle that is on the reel forward.
If you get a big tug and the rod bends over and doesn't stop you know you have a fish on. To reel in the fish you need to pull up the rod tip making sure you are still holding onto the back of the rod and then slowly wind the reel and lower the tip, do this until you have the fish on the beach.
When you have the fish on the beach you will have to know how to take the hook out. Grab the end of the hook where the line is tied and twist the top of the hook over the fish’s mouth on the outside to where the sharp part of the hook was the hook should just slip right out of its mouth.
Once the hook is out you have completed your task, you are officially an amitur fisherman.
