Guest Jocool Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Relaxation. Just to get your mind of the day to day crap we all normally deal with. And the buzz of a screaming drag on a good fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snag Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Geee let me see where do i start. Like andrew i like to take time out from the family. Like to take time out from the stress of work Like to take time out for comps. Love to fish for the love of fishing. But the most important thing is to go out somewhere with a few of the guys and just kick back tell some stories catch new fish that ive never caught before or get new PB, try out new tackle and have fun on the new boat. Sound like living life to me, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dacobra Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Walking those Blue Mountains trout streams - never seen such great scenery and never seen such great water. Never thought catching and releasing trout could be so addictive - those bow waves as a fish charges your lure...... Gotta do it again as soon as.......

xavdav Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Fishing is time off work (and the people i work with ) time off my and time off my daughters. And put it that way: a bad day fishing beats a good day at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken A Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I fish for all the reasons above - I'm addicted , I love the outdoors etc plus I love a feed of fresh fish. I gave fishing a miss for a couple years & concentrated on hunting but a couple trout taken while on hunting trips got the bug fired up again I fish every day at least once & never get sick of it.

Golden Monk Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Love to fish, relaxing out on the water, the want of that next fish to bigger than the last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Its inexplicable to a lot of people who aren't into it... I just never seem to get bored when I'm fishing, regardless of whether or not I'm actually catching anything... The thrill of the line tightening up and the rod starting to bend... The 'what if'... And being near the water is relaxing... There's nothing else like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewytim Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 the peace and quiet and excitment of what i might catch looking forward to the next trip and for all of this i must thank my dad for showing me how to fish when i was a kid and untagling all those bird nests for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I can't explain it....... But I have to agree with everything above. I think in this day and age we can easily loose sight of why we love it so much. I used to love fishing when I was a kid with a $2.50 handline. Now I have a boat, more rods and reels than you can poke a stick at, lures, the list goes on. Every now and again I enjoy heading down to the local creek with an old handline and a packet of prawns and get back to basics. For me it comes down to just getting away from the rat race. I am quite happy to sit in and soak a bait and have a few or go and chase bream or bass with lures. As long as I am on the water I am a happy little camper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joem Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 ...I like the anticipation leading up to the day... Iain 3:58 (sounds like a bible verse) I can relate to this the most. I like reading and thinking about it, playing with the motor and toys, buying and trying new rigs and the sleepless night before I head out. All, in anticipation of the day or few hours you spend out. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
