it's honestly over-rated. it has it's fun moments, we just sit there for 2-3 hours and BS while drinking s**t beer. it's relaxing and it gets you outside.. and if you're not catching anything, the adrenaline rush when you do is actually nice. otherwise, you kind of just sit there staring at the water. unless you're really into it, tv >

I once lived in small community where folks would take the day off when the fish were running--there were huge schools of highly edible fish close to shore. I wonder if that still happens anywhere today?
My home, during week-ends feels like this, but i'm the only fish in the aquarium

Should I feel envious?
Or is Fishing code for something else a bit like dogging?
One person apparently felt down, and announced that they were "fishing for compliments", and that triggered a bunch of imitators "fishing for [fill in the blank]".

Last I've been involved in any fishing activity was almost 12 years ago. Best vacation ever. Holding a live fish for the first time is a bit icky. Too bad I lost that hilarious picture of an 8 year-old me holding a wiggling fish by it's tail.
And swimming in salt water with eyes open are strongly NOT recommended. Seriously, that hurts.
As for the social code, it can be triggered by several factors. From by simply walking with something noticeably new, to something drastic like drama or attention seeking. Both expects the same thing: compliments.
And I need not. I don't do acting, I do my own will.
Everybody is way off with the definition of dogging .
In a figurative sense I thought fishing meant looking for someone to date.
As for literal fishing I haven't been in over 10 years. You need a license to go fishing here. I used to enjoy it, but there's not all that many good catches left in the estuary, it's overfished, unless you get on a charter boat and go out to sea.
