"Don't" isn't an accurate statement.
I've fished quite a bit, and plan to fish more in the future. A "don't" at this time indicates a fixed sample rate which is impossible considering you don't know the future.

I think "dont" implies present tense, not past or future. For example, If I asked if you have a dollar I can borrow, and at the current time, you do not have one. You would reply, "I don't" Its irrelevant if you had money before or plan to have it another day.
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.

If you were Barack Obama for one full day, what would you do with your presidential power?

That's a really excellent question.
First I'd declare August 10th as Island Girl day and make it a National Holiday 
Second I'd declare martial law and sign an executive order making my first term permanent.
Hopefully, Hugo Chavez would congratulate me with a delegation from the Miss Venezuela pageant
