I also think "fish" means an ongoing activity, passion or pursuit. Fish, to me, does not mean "going fishing", theres a big difference.
This is the last question I ask, this thread is dull.
"Present tense" would be "Spence isn't fishing."

You know I have fished as you've taken me out on the S.S. Eelslime

Granted, my fishing has slowed to a halt, but there are legitimate reasons and I don't plan for the hiatus to be permanent. If this wasn't the case I wouldn't still have a wall full of plugs, 1/2 dozen rods etc... (including a plug display I still have to photograph )

If by "fish" you mean some die hard surfcasting (opps, forgot you're a boat guy) lifestyle where one sacrifices many things in the reckless persuit of fish...then no, I don't think I fish.
