so yet another boring, dull, geeky sport/hobby.....

anyone on here sad enough to sit for hours, quiet and motionless with their rod in hand???

i do....

twice a week, for conger and huss

Yep, I have been fishing all my life!

Started with general fishing including some sea fishing but, due to time constraints, I now only fish for three weeks per annum and all of it is in France chasing large carp!

I having been fishing in France since 1991 when I first went over there.

I've done some sea fishing in the last 10 years too including on Nick Lightfoot's boat out of Brighton and with a nice skipper out of Dartmouth (conger trips).

If it wasn't for work and my racing, I would fish every week!

Do you actually eat the fishies?

if i take makeral, bass, pollock or whiting then yes.....

you cant beat fresh fish...maky on a bbq minutes after being caught....hmmmmm

Fly fisherman here, been doing it since I was a kid.

Also fly tying, another side that takes a lot of time and skill.

Here's a rampant rabbit

I now have tears in my eyes from laughing

'Payable lady friend'... Love it! Similar to my previous favourite of 'Woman of negotiable virtue'.

PMSL. A quality effort!

Sturgeon! in your pond? The mounted one at the local Game Ministry is 8" long, some pond.

yep, been fishing for a few years now. only in the sea though. looking forward to the fish coming in for the summer. shouldn'r be long now

I can't even find any way that I could inject a little bit of adrenalin like I could with the golf carts - So, I'm out!

What... you want a Sturgeon in your pond? How about Nicola...

We sometimes go for a walk round the local pond and watch the fish botherers. My brother in law is the bailiff although it is something I never got caught up in. We saw a carp pulled in the other day, about an 18 pounder.

I go Mackerel Murdering quite regularly off the Island, St Ives in the summer. Locost food, and good fun too. Sammy the seal gets a few when we catch a few - afterall, I can go to Tesco's when I'm hungry, he cannot.

The Island St Ives

Not so much these days, but used to fish a lot when my dad was alive as he was very keen.
Always sea fishing though as I like to eat what I catch if it's big enough. Never saw the point
of sitting for hours round a pond just to throw them back in.
