Brantford fishing/ new to shore fishing

hello everyone,

I have just moved to brantford, just like most of you I love to fish. I have never fished from shore before tho, always boat just jigging or throwing my rappala for pike, and walleye. I was wondering if any one had tips for me to help me start shore fishing such as:

How to land your fish, do you use a net or would you rather bare hand it?
Do you like to cast and real in? Or let your lure sit out?

Just basic knowledge would help me out a ton.

Also Like I mentioned I have just moved to brantford I'm
Not asking for anybody's hot spots just looking for areas to fish, I've heard great things about fishing behind the casino. And my last final
Question what are you using for bait? Live bait of lure? What type
Of lures ?

Thank you For the help

Ya always looking for a fishing buddy, I'm headed up north sat for a fishing trip for a week, after that I'll be out As much as possible looking for some spots!

I live in Brantford and brand new to fishing.  I'd be willing to meet up somewhere to fish if either of you are up for it.  Looking to learn how to properly handle fish (if any are caught), and fishing spots.  Let me know.  Cheers.
