Hello Guy's Newbie from Medway Towns - Urgent help needed!!!!!

Hi all,

I used to pier & Rock fish for mackeral as a young lad in Cornwall on holiday and this year decided to take fishing up again but from a lure fishing angle.
I have bought myself an outfit which initially was aimed towards targeting bass, but has expanded (so to speak) as I really want to fish for Pike during the winter months on my local river (medway).
I have most items as per all decent beginner advice sections I could find although my landing net is only 24" and not rubberised so maybe needs replacing when possible.
My rod & Reel are my xmas pressie from the Mrs so waiting to get them and start fishing.
However................
I want to approach this as well prepared as possible and if anybody would be willing to help me get started (fishing together and telling me to stop being stupid before bad habits build), I would be very extremely grateful.
My rod is rated for 10-35g so I will not be targeting monsters but would like to see some in the doubles every now and then.
I will expand to get a freshwater specific rod with a higher rating later on to target pike with but for now have spent too much already (getting told off)
I need to get my Licence sorted when im paid but that will be in time for xmas.

Many thanks and tight lines!

Steve
