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

Never leave fish to find fish.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Whiskey is the life of man.
Whiskey Johnny.
Whiskey is the life of man,
And it's whiskey for me, Johnny-O.
Old sailors song. One that I've always liked. It's simple and direct, somehow full of tradition.

Red to red or green to green
No danger can be seen
Red to green and green to red
There's a vessel dead ahead.

You can remain silent and let others think you a fool, or you can open your mouth and remove all doubt.  |

Fisher Tim,
You are so on the mark. I was born w/a silver foot in my mouth.
Listen more/ talk less. I should heed to my own advice. You all know what venom I speak after a few drinks.

A wife and a steady job have ruined many a good fisherman.
Rise & Shine. It's fishing time!
Even if you've been fishing for 3 hours and haven't gotten anything except poison ivy and a sunburn, you're still better off than the worm.
Ahh Retirement! Fishing yesterday, fishing today, fishing tomorrow!
Take up a reel sport. . . Fishing!
Fishing permit required but a worm works better.
I went down to the sporting goods store and got a new rod and reel for my wife.....pretty good trade, don't ya think?
I've spent most of my life fishing. The rest of it I wasted!
Fishy, fishy in the brook.
Papa caught him on a hook.
Mama fried him up at home.
Now don't choke on a bone!
Fish scales lie.
If people concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
I never caught a fish I didn't like.
You get a line, I'll get a pole and we'll meet down at the old fishing hole.
Earth's surface is 3/4 water and 1/4 land. It's obvious that God intended man to spend triple the time fishing than doing yard work.
When life is floundering, its time to go fishing.
My wife says if I go fishing one more time she's leaving. I'm sure gonna miss her!
I came. I saw. I went fishing.
Thy rod and thy reel comfort me.
Teach a man to fish and a liar is born.
Fishing is a tough job, but I'm willing to tackle it!
If I could get away from fishing, I'd attend Fisherholics Anonymous.
If God had wanted man to work, He wouldn't have invented fishin'.
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
Fishing is cheaper than a psychiatrist.
A reel fisherman can tackle anything that bobs along.

If Fishing is a Sport...Then your looking at an Athlete.
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.
