So I just bought a fishing license for North Carolina. I have only fished a handful of times with other people who knew what they were doing (I’m mostly clueless). So what fishing gear do I actually need to get started? I’m not looking for a ton of fancy stuff but just good equipment to get out there with. I also don’t know what I want to fish specifically, I don’t really care but I’ll be fishing in nearby river and lakes mostly. Any advice helps!
