salty wisdom (old sayings)
 

Fish, or cut bait ?
The biggest fish is the one that got away
a small fish is better than no fish
a small hook catches big fish
fish in your own pond
a sharp hook will catch more fish than a dull one
it's a stupid fish that gets caught twice
if the fish aren't biteing, change your bait
big bait catches big fish
keep your bait fresh
sooner or later anyone can catch a fish
a jerk at one end with a jerk on the other end
