For the guys, why do you like fishing so much?

Why?\n\nMost women hate it so it's an excuse to get of by one's self for a little peace and quiet. Besides, guys don't only fish when they go off as a group to fish. There's the beer, cards and male bonding that goes on as well.\n\nTruthfully, I find fishing relaxing. You sit quietly by yourself, you have time to think and let the stress melt away. If you catch a few fish you can later enjoy a meal you earned yourself. If you don't get any fish there's still the relaxion part of it.\n\nLet's face it, most people think a guy is wierd if he sits for hours, saying nothing, thinking. But let that same guy sit for hours fishing and the most anyone will say is, "Caught anything?"

Both.  I fish a lot.  I mean a lot.  I fish tournaments.  I fish ponds.  All sorts of cover, open water, underwater structure, the whole nine yards. \n\nBoth types of reels have their benefits and both types of reels have their shortcomings.\n\nFirst - the baitcaster.  There's a reason everyone on the Bassmaster trail has more baitcasters on their boat than spinning reels (open face).  This is because with the technology of today, baitcasters are amazing.  You can cast a 1/16 oz. weight into the wind nearly as far as you want, and land it on a dime if you've got the ability.  Practice, practice, practice.  Baitcasters also tend to have higher gear ratios (5.0:1, 6.1:1, and now even 7.0:1 - that means w/ one turn of the handle, the spool turns 7 times - bringing in over 30 inches of line w/ one turn).  However, baitcasters do have their shortcomings.  The backlash.  This happens when the spool is spinning faster than line is coming out and it creates on heck of a mess.  It can really put a damper on the day, especially in a tournament.  The only other problem w/ a baitcaster is that an inexperienced user will find it incredibly difficult to cast lightweight lures a desired distance.\n\nThe positives of a baitcaster create the negatives of a spinning reel and vice versa.  Where you get incredible accuracy and great ratios out of a baitcaster, the spinning reel lacks.  It is hard to cast a spinning real as accurately as a bait caster because you can't stop the line w/ your thumb.  You also aren't afforded great gear ratios and therefore you do a lot more work to get a fish in the boat.  W/ a spinning reel, you don't get backlashes and you have the ability to cast lightweight lures good distances with ease because of less resistance from the spool.\n\nI carry 2 spinning combos for floating worms and small spinners, and about a dozen baitcasters for everything else.  \n\nHope that helps.

I was on the pier fishing on the bottom. If you fish you know that you have to keep the line tight so you can feel a fish when he bites. Suddenly a bird flew around us who were fishing ,hovered over my line and landed on it, kinda like on a clothes line.It continued to set there long enough for a man to take 4 flash pictures,it was nightime, then the bird flew away and I turned to ask the man to send me a copy of the pictures but he was gone also.Just that quick.

Ever wanted to catch a fish without a bait? it wont work. Men will not just pop in a relationship of which the a party is not interested and interesting to him.               ADVICE: you cant lack a chum to show him what you feel not neccesarly telling him. Just make a serious joke, he'll understand.

I like them both equal...and it works out well.....about the time the fishing starts heating up, hunting seasons are winding down, and about the time that hunting seasons are ending, the fishing starts to get good again.....I love them both....My freezers are full of fish from this last summer, and will be full of game I have hunted over the winter....I just can't pick one, they are both fun and I enjoy the time I get to spend with my friends and family, be that sitting on the boat, or in the blind, or watching the dogs work a field....I also love the fact that I will be able to pass this knowledge on to my kids and then hopfully they will teach theirs.  Hunting and fishing are just fun, and equally fun at that....fish all summer, hunt all winter....sounds like a good life to me....

I agree with shaver, but you need to realize that fly fishing takes more skill than any other type of fishing because you want the lure to land very near the same place each time.   This will more readily attract the fish to the bait if they see a pattern.

I asked my hubby this question and his response was yes!  I always go fishing and hunting with my man!  He loves the fact that im only 5 ft 2 inches tall and weigh only 103.  He calls me his little fairy elf!  But he loves the fact that i drive a huge Ford 4 x 4 truck ( even if I need a pillow lol) and he loves that I go four wheeling and hunting and fishing.  He said its great to have a woman who lloks great in satin and an orange hunting vest also!  lol

A fisherman, sometimes refered to as a fisher to be non-gender specific, is a person who engages in the activity of fishing. Some fishermen do this as their profession, and may belong to a cooperative, corporation, or union. Other people fish for sport, such as most anglers (who fish with a hook). Fishing may also be a subsistence activity.

I fish up in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.  It's wilderness type country.  I fish in the spring, because while it's often cool- NO!darned cold, I avoid all the bugs.  The fishing is usually GREAT.  Northern pike, walleyes, perch, trout, and muskies.  You can usually catch enough that IF you kept all you catch, the weight would sink the boat.  We camp.  But, there are lodges.  You see eagles, beavers, bears, and moose.  You'll often see the "Northern Lights"  You'll hear loons, which to me IS, the sound of the North.  If you are seeking a wilderness fishing trip, you won't beat Canada, unless you go to Alaska.  I'd be happy to provide specific info, if you wish.

fishin, now thats what Im talkin bout... I reccomend usin power bait for trout, those are hard lil buggers to catch... also another thing I do before I park the boat to cast my pole, I dump a lil bit of that power bait crap right off the side of the boat Im fishin on to get em up near the boat so I can see em, then I catch one... also beef jerky is great for catching trout and catfish... hope this helps... y'all take it easy

ADVANTAGES: This particular rig has been working for hundreds of years. You almost can't go wrong. Simple and deadly. A "sinker-slide", a "Pyramid" sinker, and a "Circle" hook can catch a variety of fish including, Sheep-head, Redfish, Trout, Drum, Catfish, Croakers, Whiting, ETC.\n\nDISADVANTAGES: There really aren't many. It depends on where, and WHAT you are fishing for.\n\n Then again, If you mean this Q as an analogy, many MEN/WOMAN get "caught" "hook line & sinker", so it must work VERY well!!! lol

Men are natural hunters. They usually don't give up until they conquer their prey. :)
