First thing you need is a license and then perhaps try a small spinner or some floated worm (rag or lug).
Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

The worst time to have a heart attack is while playing charades! Specially if your friends are no good at it.

I'd read up on the conservation laws, and the 2009 closed sea trout fishery rules first if you don't want to end up in trouble.
Look at the ERFB website.
