Who enjoys fishing (not phishing)...:)

    I love fishing but as I live in Scotland we have a slight problem at the moment - most of the lakes/lochs are frozen over, as are many of the rivers :(
    Anyone else into fishing, and if so, what type of fishing do you enjoy?

    I prefer fishing for carp myself. Flyfishing is never something that has tickled my fancy - seems too complicated to me :)

    I am sorry but fishing is not my cup of tea... as I simply do not have the patience to sit out for such a long period, doing practically nothing! :eek:

    Fishing was one of my favorite time pass when I was a school kid. Had plenty of time since I bunked school regularly.

    Live in Australia and go fishing once a fortnight at least. Love it.

    Majority of fishing I do is saltwater, but I do fish freshawater as well. Mainly on smaller lakes. We don't have the problem of places icing over down here! :)

    Am also very keen on diving. I regularly dive and snorkel for abalone and crayfish. Especially through summer when the water is warmer

    I used to go to nearby lakes along with my friends to fish during my school days when I was in my village. It was wonderful days. After settling in a big city which is devoid of river/lake, there is no chance to fish. We just buy marine fish, cook and eat :)

    I used to love coarse fishing when i was about 15.
    Then i discovered girls.

    Then i got back into it.
    Then i discovered computers.

    I moved country and gave my fishing gear away but i live on a beach in southern europe now so thanks for this post because its reminded me how much fun it was and how i should buy some more gear.

    I hate phishing because IMO it is the most stupid sport ever! What do you do all day? Wasting your time on nothing.

    I have not collected enough patience to enjoy fishing, but my boyfriend loves it.
