Excellent first post!

I am not a fisherman, but I fish because I like eating fish. As I get older perhaps fishing will become more important as it is "slower".

As one person said it, "a day spent in the outdoors is always better than any day spent in the office" or similar to that.

Fishing is a form of hunting, of providing natural free range organic non-GM sustenance for the table. And good eating too. What is better than having fresh caught fish for the dinner table when in a hunting camp, whether in the cool mountains or the buffalo wetlands. Or even on a goat hunting trip in the arid and dry Flinders Ranges, where my local mate and co, found a waterhole with edible fish in it. Totally unexpected and good eating.
