Dillo Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Obviously we all love to fish. I think I love it because fish are interesting to me, and so are lures and the waters I fish. Fishing is like solving a puzzle: hard to figure out but it is rewarding. Its also a peaceful time and usually quality time between me and my dad. So why do you love to fish? Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted November 1, 2014 Super User Posted November 1, 2014 Its a mix of having a way to experience the outdoors and solving the puzzle of bass fishing for me. I can go out and get skunked and still say I enjoyed the day, but it helps to catch a hawg every now and again lol Quote
Smokinal Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Its a mix of having a way to experience the outdoors and solving the puzzle of bass fishing for me. X2....I love the "quiet" time away from work/civilization etc...but I also like the anticipation of knowing I'm going out this Sunday, rigging my rods with the baits I think I'll need,and then having to figure out the bite. The best feeling is leaving the lake knowing you figured out how to make them bite that day. Makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it... Quote
Dillo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 but I also like the anticipation of knowing I'm going out this Sunday, rigging my rods with the baits I think I'll need This is another thing I love. I get so excited going through my tackle box before a trip. Quote

PersicoTrotaVA Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 It's my God time. It's my connection to my creator and nature. I like bass fishing because of the challenge. Plus there are a lot of cool lures to buy. 1 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted November 2, 2014 Super User Posted November 2, 2014 I fish for those days when the stars align, the bite is on, and I'm on cloud 9. I can forget about everything else in the world for a day and just focus on chasing those slimy critters that I love so dearly! Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted November 2, 2014 Super User Posted November 2, 2014 I fish because I enjoy it. When I say I fish 7 days a week both saltwater and freshwater that is no exaggeration. I don't think I've missed 5 or 6 times this year, but today I'm not fishing. It's nippy here in Florida so I'm taking wife out for breakfeast and watch football all day. 1 Quote

Plus there are a lot of cool lures to buy. +1 I'll also add, for me, the older I get I get a big kick out of the time I have with my wife. The time together away from phones, TV'S, and "life" is very relaxing. 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 2, 2014 Super User Posted November 2, 2014 I love to hunt and since you can not see your prey fishing is the ultimate hunt! 1 Quote
Chief 2 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I love the challenge and it helps keep me sane! Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted November 2, 2014 Super User Posted November 2, 2014 The voices tell me too, and since I have just decided to listen I do. Plus it keeps me from laying on the couch and gets me out of the house when I'm not working. It is my decompression time, takes my mind off of everything else and gives me piece and a time to be stress free. Quote
tatertester Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Because I listen to the voices in my tacklebox. Quote
skeeter1980 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 The better question would be,Why Don't You Fish? Quote
