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.

Definately the "being there, the hunt". How else are ya gonna catch em'!

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......

I knew when I saw the thread title it was you Slingah! I think I like the hunt/just being there the best....being with great friends, laughing with or at them when things are good or things get strange like if someone trips in a hole in the sand or something funny like that! When fishing alone, I just like the peace and quiet....starry nights....having a fox parallel you as you walk down the beach.....the sound of tails slapping......and just plain thinking about nothing but what is around me! Can't beat hammering fish with a buddy or two though.....and then afterwards trading stories about the nights catch! Maybe fibbing a little bit! I can't wait for the fall run!

Look up one. There's a guy who's fun to fish with.

Hey Fred....I know you like fishing with me!

i like the feeling of being one with the ocean. Theres nothing like being perched up on a ledge and having huge rollers come in and explode under your feet shooting spray 20 feet over your head. I love the solitude, I love fishign allnight without a tap and almost falling asleap reeling in a needlefish slowly and being woken up by screaming drag. I love going to a spot knowing there will be fish there, i love the feeling i get landing big fish on a plug i made. and mostly the thing i love the most is outfishing #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&

Though I love just being out fishing -- the quiet eeriness of a late, foggy nite at the canal; the power of the crashing waves in Rhody; even the hustle and bustle of a busy day at a well-known spot -- there's nothing like fishing with your friends. It's good to know that there's someone who will watch your back, take your picture, and tell you that they're proud of you when you hook up large. And it's even better being able to do that for someone else. Fish, schmish. I always have a good time when I go out with another person, even if all we catch is the skunk.
