I like the water. I enjoy being in a boat. It's nothing anywhere near a passion, though. I can go years without and not miss it. As for fishing, it doesn't interest me in the least. I'm happy to cook and eat the catch, but content to let someone else have the pleasure of sitting there with a stick in his hand -- and if he wants me to cook 'em, he can clean 'em.

My dad used to take me fishing, but I haven't been since I was little. I dislike boats and water, so I'd never go fishing out on a boat. It's fun to stand on the shore or dock and fish though!

No fishing, no way, no how. Love the water but don't like boats too much. I'm happy to just stand on the shore and watch the water flow.

The last time i went fishing i was in elementry school and I hooked myself straight through the side of my index finger
No more fishing for me!


Now that i'm older, I just don't see a point to fishing for me because 1) i don't like eating most seafood - so there's no reason for me to fish because i wouldn't use the fish for food and that would be wasteful. 2) I think it's cruel to fish just to catch one and then throw it back in the water becase hooking a fish injures it- and i just can't justify doing that just for "sport".

It's just a personal preferance.


I do however LOVE fish tanks and enjoy spending time working on mine

Our whole family fishes. I pretty much only do it on family outings, but I do like to fly fish. It's more active than drowning worms, so I'm much better suited for it. I don't do well with sitting quietly for long.
We only do catch and release and only with very small barbless hooks so we don't harm the fish. We lose a lot of fish that way, but it's worth it to make sure we don't hurt them.

It's not a record or anything, but I'm especially proud that I caught a brook trout in the Battenkill river last year on a trip to Vermont with my dad. Brook trout are notoriously hard to catch, so it was really exciting!

I like boats, and I never get seasick. DH gets really seasick, though, so I don't manage to get out all that much.

I love deep sea fishing but I get seriously seasick so I don't go very much.
DH and his father normally go every weekend. We always have fresh grouper and snapper.

I like to fish for the company, and only if we eat the fish. I hate the idea of catching / hurting / tormenting a poor fish just for sport!

If it were just me, nope, wouldn't go. But with hubby, parents, friends, and my dog, I love it! Especially when we go camping, too! That's really fun, when you spend all day fishing and get to end it with a yummy, fresh cooked and caught fish dinner under the stars...


As for sea sickness, fortunately, I don't get it. My mom does, though, really bad. Her latest thing is this prescription that is a patch that goes under the ear. For all you that get it, you should try that. She swears by them!

When I was a little girl, I used to go fishing with my Daddy all the time. He taught me how to bait the hook and cast. Fishing will always be close to my heart just because of all of the great times I had when I was little. Never been boating though. The only time I have ever been on the water I was on a paddle boat and I vomited all over the place.

I love to fish!!! We didn't do any fishing this year though. We didn't want to spend the money for a fishing liscence.

I used to fish in the stream in the country when I was little. I don't mind fishing, but I don't go out of my way to fish. When we were on Lake Taupo in New Zealand we went on a fishing boat trip. Likewise, on a vacation to a dude ranch in CO there was a pond where we could fly fish. Both times, daughter Jenny caught the fish.


My cousin, Karl, is the big fisherman in the family. His favorite is to ice fish on a lake near him. Ice fish - that is a serious fisherman!
