I like the "being there" especially surf-fishing. I fish a lot on the National Seashore and you can't beat the beauty of the place. And now....no plovers to worry about.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Thumbs up

The hunt and that one night a year when all heck breaks loose. That's when you have to be there and there's no telling which night it is! I haven't made up my mind whether I like fishing with friends or alone is better, it's all just so good. I ran into some townie acquaintences today,fixing a flat, we talked for hours, fishing stories, hunting tales, you know... some remembered my Grandfolks who've been gone for 25 years or better, and I thought how right this is, and how much that I missed living and working out here on the Cape.My answer, I guess is all of the above.

to me fishing is like going to church, i feel closest to my maker and all of his work. nothing beats sunrise, sunset, or a star filled dark sky on a rocky shoreline or a beach. wind, rain, surf in your face, or one of those calm clear nights. as far as the poll- i vote for the first 4 choices. met some good folk thru fishing and related activities- birds of a feather......
