Fishing sayings
My favorites...
"There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process". ~Paul O'Neil, 1965
"Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend". ~Zenna Schaffer
"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot". ~Steven Wright
"There are two types of fisherman - those who fish for sport and those who fish for fish".
"Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl". ~Ernest Hemingway
"It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming". ~John Steinbeck
"Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish". ~Herbert Hoover

"The stripers are there, in the reefs looking for lobsters and other things to eat, and they’ll stay there all night long. But you can die out there. It’s dangerous. You have to know what you’re doing.” RHM

"Fishing is like sex--the less you get, the more you lie."
least favorite: "that's why they call it fishing, not catching"--some goog at the end of a p-boat trip will also say that, and it means that it's been a slow day  |

How bout this classic:
"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing."

I can't remember any saysing so I thought I'ld make some up. 
I wish a had a fish in a dish.
Give a man a fish he might eat it or give it away.
Show a man to fish he'll likely still give the fish away.
Fishing is best when the wind is from the west, south, east, north, west, SW, SE, NE, NW, NE NS, SN.
Boat = Break out another thousand.(that one is to good ,I didn't make it up)
'Bait then cut fish'.... people got it all mixed up.
Watch out for tha*&%(bubbles)$#!(gulp)&@* waaaave.  |

"Don't tell anyone from the net your spot. That's how we keep landing big fish, we keep our producers to ourselves ~3 or 4 guys tops, my surf brothers." ~~Iron Mike, slightly paraphrased.
"BIG BAIT equals BIG FISH" ~~anonymous
One of my alltime favorites from JimmySly when asked about his LAHHHGE boatfish from 2006,
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels, big enuff to make small children run scared."
"Hey mang, jou gonna keep that bluefeesh?" ~~some Latino dude that came outta nowhere on the rocks of Rhody about two seconds before i was about to release sum boo.
"THERE ARE NO FEESH IN RI!!" ~~SOL, Rhody Forum
"Boat fish don't count!" ~~anonymous
"Peace and Prosperity again" ~~SkitterPop
These are just off of the top of my head, i'm sure i'm leaving out some of nebe's finest gems and several others from both forums. When i get home i'll hit the books and come up with some more..........

THE OCEAN MAY TIP THIS BOAT, BUT ONLY THE PASSENGERS CAN TIP THE CREW!
|
the full moon looks orange sometimes when it rises because the light has to pass through more of the atmosphere then when the moon is higher in the sky. the blue light waves scatter but the red light waves pass through...... if you were wondering.

The ocean is large, and so full of fish,
if a fellow is patient he might get his wish.

The world is 3/4 ocean and 1/4 land... so clearly God intended for man to fish 75% of the time and work no more than 25% of the time.
