Why do you fish.

Hunter of mammoths, hope you would have put them back afterwards?

Slot limit of 2 to 4 tons, (see my post on the "moral dilemma" thread - Sea Forum)

 

...and a bag limit of five per day - couldn't carry any more.

 

T'wasn't me that rendered 'em extinct - t'was them nasty neanderthal commercial outfits wiv illegal long-nets.

Would you use a barbless spear?

Would Fox make the best ones?

Do Mammoths require an unhooking mat? After all they are pretty furry.

Bite Alarm must be shock of being chewed on by a Mammoth.

Would Mammoth be any good as Pike bait?

 

Silly really.

I love fishing because of the tranquility while sitting by a lake offers. I have much respect for nature and the environment and nothing else clears my head and makes me feel more relaxed than a picturesque surrounding. Meeting people and learning something new everytime is a great experiance. Even if I blank I am happy becasue at least I have releived some stress form college etc Fishinf is the best sport there is no doubt about it. I just wish other people could understand that instead them thinking fishing is just about catching fish anf that it is 'boring'! Well it is if you arent prepared to learn before you start to fish with some knowledge. Ah well! I'l just leave them too it

Why do I fish? well its something I can do with my father and my son, three generations sharing a little piece of water having a few laughs, watching nature at work, occasionally catching a few, often not, and hopefully imparting a love of angling and the countryside to my teenage son which will stay with him when I am gone.

To which an anti will respond: 'Well why don't you just sit by the lake reading a book?'

 

To which I would respond 'in the pouring rain, with the cold eating into your fingers, for hour after fruiteless hour?'

 

Saying that I go fishing to catch a fish is a bit like saying that I go to an expensive restuarant to chew!

 

But they will never understand, they have never been 'called to' fish!

Oh right Vagabond, I thought I hadn't see any about for a while? It was probably those Neanderthals who fish the lake near me?

[Jamie Thornton]

Leon, that was just a bonus to fishing. I didnt say becasue I like to catch fish etc becasue its obvious. To that I would add that fishing just gets my heart going and gives me a great deal of fun when I'm out there. The learning is never ending so when I do get a fish with them techniques its very pleasing.

[Jamie Thornton]

Surely you feel that way too?
