Hi friends any of you interested in fishing? It's a nice hobby, time pass and at the end of the day you take with you something you cherish.I am from Goa which lies on the western side of India on the shores of Arabian sea. It has got over 100 kms length of sea shore so naturally there would be lot of fishing activities. Good percentage of the population here is involved in fishing as a business. Different varieties of fish is harvested here and exported all over the world. In my case fishing is not only my hobby but passion. Although sea face is less han 2 kms from my house I preferred fresh water ponds and lakes for fishing in the child hood. Different types of cat fish is normal catch in fresh water. As I grew up I picked up some good fishing spots on the sea face. My favourite spot is at Siquerim, near Fort Aguada Beach Resort of Tata group. My wife's uncle has got a nice house on sea face there we can fish sitting in their courtyard. Is any body in mylot interested in fishing narrate your experiences of fishing.

Fishing is so much fun and of course techique. I fish for trout in high mountain rivers and streams. MMMMM nothing better than fresh cold water brook trout. Many people I know fly-fish but I use just a simple casting reel and pole with a spinner with worms for bait. Even if I don't catch anything I still throughly love the whole experience. When I am fishing I tend to think of nothing much but what I am doing at that moment. All the stressed of everyday life slip away and I come away relaxed, calm, and ready for anything.

Hi carbm, I don't get this trout exactly that may not be available in fresh waters in our area which is almost at sea level. But as you say it is great fun fishing It makes you forget everything else. In my early days I used only line hook and a bamboo rod. Now I use a modern fishing rod with a reel and lock.

i am interested in fishing but whenever i live with my family i am not allowed to do so. when i went to visit a negrito tribe with my bf we paid the guy for an hour to teach me how to do fishing and it was fun. though i only hit one fish for about an hour, i was still happy and satisfied.

Hi hushi, It is great that you are interested in fishing. It is bad that You are not allowed to fish by your family members. May be they are worried that fish may drag you into the water. But is great fun fishing as you have found out yourself.

I have never been fishing before and I don't think I'd like to go fishing, I am scared of killing a fish or any animal but I could eat it. I think it's sad to see them painful and die :(

I fish in whichever country im in at the time - My passion though is match fishing in the UK and have been know to travel from one end of the county to the other overnight to fish in 2 or more competitions in a few days. For pure pleasure though i like to fish for carp as light as possible size 22 - 20 hook and use sweetcorn as hook bait. All the fish i catch are returned alive to give myself and others pleasure another day.

Yes, I am interested in fishing! I once have gone fishing with my cousins and uncle before and boy how fun it was! I remember that excitement I feel whenever a fish took my bait then I started shouting with excitement! Hahaha! It was really fun.

I love fishing. Sometimes eventhough I didn't catch any fish, I still enjoying myself. but of course it is frustrating. I didn't mind where to fish. Pond or river, I still like it. I wish to fish at the seas someday but wait until I have budget to do so. Deep sea fishing is expensive hobby.
