hello fellow chrome domes: just wondering with the warm weather here... when was the last time U went fishing? do U like 2 fish? i'll start: i have not went fishing since july 4th weekend of 2007. i enjoyed it. i went fishing with a good childhood buddy who now lives in houston. anyways... we didn't catch much but i enjoyed the "fellowship" and the ice cold beers that we had in our coolers. fishing 4 me is more of a stress relief activity.
so... how 'bout U? when was the last time U went fishing... don't U agree that it is a gr8 way 2 just relax and "chill"?
anyways... what's your story?

The last time I can remember fishing was when I was around 10-12 years old, I was visiting my uncles cottage with my family, and my dad and I went out on the lake to fish. It was great, I don't know why I haven't gone again.

Great topic Warhawk, as usual.
The last time that I went fishing was 2 months ago at my best friends Stag weekend party. We went fishing in this little river near the resort we stayed at and caught jack-sh*t. We used about 10 differnt types of bait/lures and got only a few bites but out of 10 guys fishing, not 1 person reeled anything in.
All my life I have always had bad luck when it comes to fishing. The only success that I seem to have is when I go spearfishing.

I haven't been since I was around 10 years old. I really miss it too. I can't even think of why I haven't made myself go to be honest. Just one of those things that has faded out. But now that I have a son I know I'm going to be getting back into it down the road to do some bonding.

Wow I cant believe you all haventbeen fishing since your childhood. Last time I went fishing was late last fall. I enjoy fishing, not the best skilled fisherman here...but soemtimes I just enjoy dropping my line in...and just sitting there. If I catch one..fine..if not....oh well, good quality alone time with nature. But those days are limited....my son and youngest daughter have started going with me. Annie's bday is in about 2 weeks and she has informed us that she wants a Barbie Fishing pole...for some reason...Barbie and fishing just doesnt work well in teh same sentence.
LOL

You just had to go and look it up didnt ya. I was hoping to tell Annie that they dont make them anymore, but, Grandma is buying it for her. I go the UHHUH..They still make them because grammie found one at walmart and she is buying it for me. I can see it now...somewhere Im gonna get caught in a camera shot, untangling a fishing line out of a tree, attached to a Barbie Pole...lol

I hate to admit this, but I don't know how to fish. The really bad thing is that my son has no one to teach him.

This past winter I went ice fishing. Friggin cold, but didn't have to worry about the beer getting warm :) I've posted this earlier, but I'm going on a week long fishing trip in in June and can't wait. O0

I guess it was about a year ago while camping.
I actually was brushing up on some fishing this weekend, I am planning on hitting the fishing pier downtown and try to snag a ling cod or salmon...
I was drug all over Northern Ca as a kid fishing. My father is an avid fisherman and later tournament bass fisherman... (sitting in the sun all day and all I had was a sandwich and a soda... Dad had a whole damn 12 pack of beer >:( )
He also used to take me on charter trips him and his buddies would set up, I really dug that. I love saltwater fishing and river fishing (I am also hoping to take up fly fishing someday soon) but lake fishing is kinda boring and usually only yields small trout.

Well Herronm...I guess you could come here, I will teach you how to sit in a lawn chair....along the bank of a river or a lake, hold a beer and to cast your line out. Whether or not we catch anything is a different story. I just enjoy sitting there....fish or not. Its just nice to sit with nature.

Don't feel bad man. Like I said, I haven't fished in about 20 years and actually only did it a few times then.

Max, you're not alone. Same here. My dad never fished, so I never went when I was as kid. My father-in-law takes my boys when they go to visit. Both of them are pretty good and enjoy it. I've went along a couple of times, but I usually get made fun of when I try to cast. It's hard to teach the old dogs.....

I've been fishing since I was a little kid was never very good at it. I do catch 'em here and there, but like Timmy, just to get outdoors and enjoy the peace and quiet.
As a kid I mostly went freshwater fishing, but as an adult (at least the past 8 years) I've gotten into surf-casting in open ocean. We get an occasional bluefish or striper ... I also like crabbing. I've gotten hundreds of those little dudes over time ....
Nothing like being on the beach early in the morning doing some surf-casting. I drive a pipe into the sand, throw my line way out, secure my fishing rod in the pipe, grab my coffee and relax ... and then every once in a while I actually catch something. My best was a 30 lb bonita tuna, right off the beach.
Of course when I bring any of the girls along (wife, daughter, sister-in-law, etc..) I spend my entire time baiting their hooks, untangling their lines, removing any fish they catch .... They just want to turn the reel and then scream at the sight of worms, eels, or fish.

I think we need to plan a fishing/camping trip for all of us. Sounds like fun ehh?
Oh when I say camping..I mean camping....a fire....and TENTS...no campers. Thats not real camping....and not at a camp site either..just find a spot somewhere ....

Both my grandfathers loved to fish so they have passed it on to the entire family, men and women. Last fished last fall in the U.P. Great walleye, salmon, and northern country. Can't wait for opening day walleye season on 15 May. We are teaching a life skills class at the high school this year and as I teach in an area called the Chain of Lakes, we are taking the boys from our behavioral class out fishing soon too.

Paul if you are into serious Walleye fishing, you ought to make the 2 1/2 trip east to Toledo and fish the mighty Maumee River. Some of the best Walleye fishing in the country can be found between Perrysburg and Toledo before the Maumee goes into Lake Erie. I remember some years where you'd have 300 men shoulder to shoulder across the entire width of the river. We are talking like 300 yards bank to bank, it is good fun.

I got tired of just feeding the dang fish so I gave it up, my friend in FL had a charter boat and I'd go just to be on the boat.

I went fishing of the Pacifica Pier about 2 years ago. You don't need a license to fish off the pier, so it was a great place to go. I caught a few fish, but none worth keeping in my mind so I tossed 'em back.
-
The last time I went fishing was probably about 15 years ago, when I was still in NY. One of my friends was always into fishing from a young age. He knew quite alot about it, and went whenever he could.
He was always telling me how great it was and asked me to go surfcasting with him and another friend of ours. I didn't have much fishing experience and I can relate to Lance and Max in this area.
Anyway, I went (didn't catch anything) but did find it to be a good way to have some guy time, some brews and just bs and enjoy the outdoors, like Timmay says.
I think sitting on the bank, trees overhead, brew in hand, and just relaxing and enjoying nature sounds really cool. If you get a bite, you get a bite. If not, no big deal. Just some good time outdoors, which is well needed these days. O0

THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!! Opening Day Walleye season is today. Hoorah
-

-
Man I go fishing all the time! Me and my buddy like to get up early pack a cooler and a thermous of coffee. And just BS all day!
