is fishing your "main" thing?

[deermaster]

just wondering freshwater fishing is your 12 month a year hobby?  i started out as a deer hunting nut, but lost all the land i had, poachers and baiters ruined the small tracts of public land, and it came down to me waiting all year to hunt, only to have one or two un ruined trips per year.  it was a waste of my time.  so i had to look elsewhere for an addiction, and i think ive found it.  i absolutely love bass fishing, although i totally suk at it.  its a blast.  im now looking for a canoe or small tin boat to turn into a bass slayer.  the cool thing about this sport is, you can go as big or little into it, and still be able to catch nice fish.  fishing from the bank, a canoe or little tin boat, or thousands dollar bass boat, you can have fun and still catch nice bass.  its all i can think about lol.  i am planning to do some duck hunting in december and january, and that only leaves one slow month, febuary, and all the rest i can bass fish!  is bass fishing what takes the main place of your hobbies?  what else do you enjoy doing?  im getting into knife collecting, its also an addicting hobby.  may do some surf fishing this summer for drum on assatueage island, but other than that, i think ill try to catch some bass  ;D ;D

My "true love" has and always will be Bass fishing. My secondary love is drag racing. I have a 1991 Mustang GT that will do 10 sec 1/4 miles all motor. It is currently for sale because the boat gets waaaaaay more attention than it does now a days. That and i can't afford two hobbies and a wife, LOL!!!

Oh Okay

Fishing

[J-B]

Work first (bills to pay, fishing materials to buy), kids second (Fishing second when fishing with the kids), FISHING THIRD, wife last .

No, seriously....Kids and wife come first, fishing any other timer that is available.  Work is only a necessity.

My deerhunting comes in about even with fishing.

[Cigarlover 1]

Fishing is my number one hobby. Followed by eating and sleeping. I like a good cigar now and then. I love to read and watch movies but nothing even comes close to fishing.

I've been bass fishing for over 50 years, but have also been into many other sports.

From my teens to my mid-40s I'd have to say that my first love has been waterfowling followed by saltwater fishing and deer archery. Also in the mix were drag racing, bowling, small game hunting and woodchuck hunting. Today I no longer hunt and only occasionally fish saltwater, so freshwater fishing has been Number One during the past 20 years or so.

I've been into other things.  But currently, fishing is my hobby.  I absolutely need it to keep my sanity.  It gives me something to think about, even when I'm not doing it.  It keeps me honest.

Guitar was my first passion but as I fish more and more often, I find myself playing less and less.  

[umahunter]

i am a duck hunter but turn to fish in the off season

[JellyMan]

Actually surfing is my main thing.

I also ride motocross, golf, and a few other hobbies. Actually it goes in phases. But fishing is a close second.

[Fish Chris]

Well, not neccessarily "bass fishing" specifically, but multi-species fishing in general, has always been my absolute #1 passion.

I'm also pretty heavy into photography (see my Yosemite thread in the "everything else" section) ..... and I'd like to be more into cars, trucks, and car audio.... if I wasn't a poor man, who fishes too much, and doesn't work enough.

Peace,

Fish

[bass or bass ?]

Besides fishing I'm also a lifetime pro/semi pro musician. I play electric and upright bass, harmonica, and vocals, hence my posting name of bass or bass?  8-)    Happy fishing.

Rock climbing until I got too old and weak, though I will still hit some easy routes just to get high. I especially love Yosemite. Used to hunt but not in the last few years. Scuba diving was my main thing when I lived in West Palm Beach.

I've always fished. Its been the most constant hobby of my life. I can't remember learning cause I started when I was about three years old.

Since I have a pretty nice lake, three houses down, I've been fishing more than anything else lately. Heck, it's almost one am and I just got back from night fishing on that lake. (caught a small lmb)

I still have a thousand plus things to learn about bass fishing and I hate to be ignorant so I study it a lot and read this forum every day. One day, I'm gonna land a 6 pounder. And I'll bet it will be before the year is up.

[SirSnookalot]

Whatever I do I jump in with both feet.

I've been a golfer for 55 years and a fisherman for 60.

I put in 5 hours of salt and about 2 of sweetwater every day thruout the year.

Have cut back on the golf and I live on a course.

LOL.  I'm an old man too, but I find it takes more than it used to to please me.

Back to the question.

Regarding recreation, (keeping in mind this is a family forum), it's fishing and golf, in that order.

Around here neither is really a year round activity for everyone.  There are always a few die hards who fish or golf year round.  I used to be one.

I'm also pretty heavy into photography ...

I too am into photography. I used to be into golfing, but my clubs have been in punishment for about two years now for not letting my handicap get below 10. I split my rec. time between fishing, photography, jumping out of airplanes, scuba diving and every couple of years golf. I used to do a lot of caving as a younger man, but now I live in an area that has little to no caves.
