Do you enjoy fishing?
I was never really that interested because I find it a bit boring, but I remember going on a fishing trip with some of our friends a few years back and it was actually very relaxing.
I don't remember catching anything special, but hubby was able to catch this nice big whatever fish that was - LOL - even after he fell asleep:)
It is not is favorite sport either and he was a bit more interested in taking a nap than the fishing thing itself. SO in his eyes started closing and soon he was softly snoring while his fishing rod was still in the water. Next thing we know the fishing rod goes crazy, he wakes up and catches the biggest fish of the day LOL
DId something unusual ever happen when you had gone fishing?

I am not a huge fishing fan, when I catch fish I usually just throw them back, but I do enjoy being by or on the lake and the peacefulness of it. Actually, when I was younger and lived in Minnesota, I would go fishing AND hunting with my mom, stepdad, and grandpa. My favorite was ice fishing, actually, though I am scared to go here because our winters don't get as cold as Minnesota did so I am afraid of falling through the ice. But, I am not really too interested anymore in fishing. We have a couple of fish hatcheries around here that I like to take the kids to, they like to feed the fish and ducks around there.

Yes it's not my favorite either, but I confess it is relaxing, so I can understand why so many people enjoy it.

hello arkaf

i can take fishing or leave it. my boys love to go fishing anytime. but when i do go fishing with them, i will not bait the hook unless it is some artificial bait. i will not touch a worm, or whatever kind of small fish that they use to fish with. i will touch a raw chicken liver to bait my hook with thou. and most of the time whenever that i have went fishing, i do not catch anything. or the fish that i do catch is so small that i have to throw it back in the lake. so i guess that i wasn't born to be a fisherman.

have a beautiful afternoon.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 14 out of 109 in fish  4 years ago

LOL touching the worm does not bother me at all, but I tend to grow restless halfway trough the fishing session:)
I never catch anything either - with some exceptions - but that is fine because when I do I always throw the nice fish back in the water :)
Now if I had to do it for my own survival, then it would be another story. I would fish every day if I had too LOL

Am I a fan of fishing you ask? Am I breathing I ask? Is the world round? Is water wet? YES I LOVE FISHING!!!! I fish every chance I get and dream about it when I cant go. I look like the Rambo of fishing when I go, and I mean to come back with something (that doesnt always happen though)but even I dont catch anything I can sit there and fish for hours on end.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 14 out of 109 in fish  4 years ago

LOL We have many friends that are just like you. And we often go with them, but our enthusiasm is not as big as theirs :)
I do enjoy the relaxing time tough, and that's why we keep going with them :)

I am not a fan of fishing no, my dad took me a few times and he even bought me my own rod. I did not mind it because we always had a lovely picnic to eat, but when it came to putting a maggot on a hook, I could not do that, it is just gross!! So my dad always had to do it, I think we caught a few little fishes, but never anything to get excited about.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 14 out of 109 in fish  4 years ago

LOL that part of the bait I have no problem at all. I don't care about worms or anything else.
It's just the part where we wait... and wait... LOL I am not a very patient person hehehe

I tried it once and I find it rather enjoying. The feeling of catching a fish is unparalleled. The waiting part is a bit boring but it all pays off in the end once you get that elusive catch.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 14 out of 109 in fish  4 years ago

Yes, it's the waiting part that gets to me and prevents me from fully enjoying the experience :)
As for catching fish, unless I"m really hungry and I can eat it, I always throw them out :)

I love fishing but it does get boring. I never catch anything and yet I still find it fun lol. I just enjoy the relaxation of fishing on a boat.

Fishing to me is waiting to see who is smarter you or the fish. lol. I haven't been fishing in a very long time but it is alright. I am not over enthused about it but it doesn't bother me to go. The only thing is since I have to put my bait on it has to be minnows not worms. I can't stand to touch worms they are so ehhhhhhhh. So they would always bring some minnows along when we went fishing. I enjoyed the waiting to see how long before the bobber started to go under. I do have to say that it is relaxing to me. But I would not go out of my way to go fishing.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 14 out of 109 in fish  4 years ago

Yes, just like me. I do find it relaxing, but then again there are other things that I enjoy more and are relaxing as well :)
WHIle I was fishing I just kept thinking that what I really wanted to do was to jump in the water and have a good swim hehehehehe
