Slayer, What were the carp doing on the bridge?

Just kidding.

If you're fishing during the day, the number one thing is polarized glasses.

Jason Wesbrock wrote a good article that answers most getting started questions. Check it out at; http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1881478

Beyond that where are you shooting, creek, river, lake? For creeks and small rivers, check out the riffles. Ponds and lakes look for coves and shallow flats. When the water is up look in the weeds and grass.
Camo is not needed, but clothing is important. If you wear bright colors, you will be busted. Think about your background, sky, tall weeds, trees? Try not to stand out from the background.

Always comply with the laws and dispose of your fish where they won't bother anyone else.
After that, have fun and be safe. Good Luck.

P.S. I hope this answers some of the questions. If you have more, fire away. Somebody here will have the answer. (or at least an answer. LOL)
