This is merely a topic I would like to explore. There are plenty reasons as to why people fish. What are your heartfelt and honest reasons?

Mine is that I love the ocean (a bit obsessed with it accualy). Also its a great stress releaver to get away from whatever and whoever.and I get to prepare for outdoors(baits, tackle ect). The catch is just the cherry on top.

it is relaxing and stress releaving, gets you're mind off the everyday hussle and most of all spending valuable time with my son.

:fbashGood one.But I think if you were a cyclist reading that you would of said never nooit. Its just interesting.I met a friend of a friend who spoke to this guy oneday at kalkbay sitting for hours fishing. They asked him if he caught anything and he said no. He just fishes to get away from the wife.lol.Classic.:doh

I love the sea,I can go fish on the rocks ,put my rod in a spike and go off exploring the rock pools,If I catch a fish ,cool if not also cool,beats sitting in front of the tv.
I also like to fish alone ,just sit and meditate on Gods creation,no other sounds but the waves ,I also do a bit of offshore fishing but I dont seem to enjoy it that much ,its not much of a challenge dropping a bait down on a spot that the skipper has selected and hauling a fish up from the deep on 40kg line,what chance has the fish got

a bad day fishing beats a good day at the office

it allows one to get in touch with nature and just unwind.

I enjoy the outdoors . Between the smell and taste of dirt , and sea water , i Chose to leave my quads behind . Became too costly too , in any event .

I enjoy getting Hooked up Tremendously . That's a live animal I'm about to baklei with , and , god sparing , it will survive to fight another day .
My dad worked with sea fisheries for years so we ate mostly stockfish , hake , soles - the idea of going out and hunting for the Kill , is Not entirely for Me . And thus the Label- bunny hugger .

Elf are a firm favourite ofMine , and are perhaps one of Only a few fish That i ever Keep .
With so many sharks abound (although after This Decemebr you'd Think Otherwise ....-there was hardly anything ), and the desire to getting stretched , i turned to shark angling.And The Second you target them , it all of a sudden isn't as Easy as most would Make it out to be ....

I enjoy The sea , and fishing is my way of ineraction with it .Getting ready , packing the tackle box that you work with it like a well-oiled Machine, selecting hooks , having sinkers Made to My individual specs , making traces , all forms a vital part of My weekend .
there aint No sport like sliding , Lazy form of fishing except for the first 6 Minutes of shake shake shake , but nothing compares to putting out a bait off a point - and then there's that all familir dip on the rod tip , and you Know that for The next half hour at the least , your mind can only focus on a single thing : Landing it ...

fishing is for all the times you had a long day at the water but at the end of the day you are still standing there rod in your hand watching the sun go down over your favourite spot... i feel more at home in cape l'aghulhas than i do in cape town.

Oh and don't forget the feeling you get when out of no where something wild starts to strip line off your reel!!

My family and I was in Kleinbrak This December-I saw this guy from behind in his fishing outfit and immediately saw DEF-A-NITION.Softly called his name and truelly there he was,packing up,on his way to another spot-STUART.What a guy to talk to-he doesn't know when to stop doing/talking-my kind of guy.I will see you again December-I am in Stilbaai.

May be this time we will fish together.

Greetings

I think I,ve said this before somewhere but anyway,some people snort coke some drive fast cars, for me when the end of the rod suddenly goes down, the heart rate goes up. I can never remember what i was doing before the pull, the brain just clears out everything else. Keep your triple by-pass, when my rod goes my arteries open up like 110mm drain pipes. Add to that the amount of time spent with my boys and the coastline that we have I,m suprised everyone isn't a fisherman.

Now this is what its about. Doesnt matter who you are,where you live,your colour any orientation. Fishing is a reconnecting sport it seems. Makes us realise that even though we bring in those fish, nature ultimately is the winner.Its when we enter "their" domain that we realise we have to adapt to what the fish want and expect,not what we want.

I use to go fishing with my dad when I was a laaitie. Dam I can still remember looking into the rock pools trying to catch klipvis lol. But Ultimatel when I connect with the outdoors something happens and its good.
