Re: Is fishing fun?
Heck even the river cat here have stingers on them. And apparently the stergeun do too.
As a young lad I hated fishing. I didnt have the patience and alway seemed to fish where the adults were who had experience. I wouldnt strike a bite when they would get hits left, right, and center. Very frustrating!
As time went on, I came back from overseas and elected I needed a cheap hobby. My previous hobby was modifying cars, which was expensive. And the wife wasnt impressed by the cashflow from it.
A friend of mine who was an experienced fisherman took me out some of his choice spots, and we hooked fish like crazy. I was hooked on fishing from that point on. And recently bought my first boat to get to the spots I wished I could, but couldn't because I didn't have one. And I think its a good thing for the family too. Thanks Josh for re-introducing me to the sport.
My advice to you is an echo to the others. Have a fisherman friend take you out for the first run and show you the ropes for the maximum enjoyment.
