Childhood Hobbies: Fishing Is In My Blood

posted on 16 February 2011 | posted in Recreation and Hobbies


Growing up I was always near or on the water with pole in hand, and some carp tackle in my knapsack. Fishing for me has been a way of just relaxing. It is like a medicine that cures all things wrong with you. It is a way to just relax and experience nature. I can often solve my problems just by sitting next to a lake and thinking things through - the solitude really helps.

But by far, the best part of fishing is the aspect when it comes to finding fish. Essentially, you are a predator trying to track down some of the biggest fish. This experience and thrill makes it all worth it in the end when you finally haul in a monster lunker. Fishing is a great sport and activity for all ages and genders. So next time your around some water, grab a pole and give it a try!
