22/04/2011

Today I went fishing and I have never been sea sick before but I guess there is a first time for everything. Physics isn't always fun. Especially when you're heaving over the side of a boat, while trying to untangle a rope that has been caught round the motor.

On the topic of fishing though, one thing I could never understand is why people are so attracted so it. I mean don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoy but I really don't know why, because:
  • You get covered in fish/squid guts. Which once the smell is on you, it just wont come off. 
  • The weather batters you. (Generally any day you want to go out fishing you can guarantee the weather will take a turn for the worse)
  • Your body gets soaked
  • You have to spend hours once you get home cleaning the saltwater of the equipment.
  • All the money you spend on the gear.
All this for one feed of fish (which I am allergic to, so it seems even more pointless).

I guess it's all to satisfy our hunter/gatherer instincs.

 Any thoughts?

    Sounds like a fun time, my idea of fishing is to lazily sit on a lake and just chill until you get that bite.

    That's still pretty cool though, I found it hilarious that you're allergic to fish after reading through.

    I guess its a matter of preference for a hobby. I'm not that into fishing though

    Does sound annoying, but I guess the fact of being on the sea, watching the surroundings peacefully is good enough for some people

    I also have never been seasick but hopefully it'll stay that way. And I agree, I never found fishing particularly interesting either...

    I enjoyed fishing once in my life. It was early in the morning in the middle of a Norwegian fjord. The only thing I caught was a jellyfish but I still really enjoyed it. Probably because of the atmosphere around.
