Looking to talk about fishing

Hi there Cyber Security pro here, do you mean Phishing?

Erm ok. What about fishing?

I havent been fishing in quite some time. A relative of mine is paid to take people fishing... Guess hes a fishing guide? Heck if I know... Hes retired and can do such endeavors.. Something about winning trophies and the such..

Well go on and talk, I'll listen. .. although I'm gonna be getting geared up to go do just that soon

dang double post

Hey stu, you found this
Stu's the man for this one

Fishing... well, the irony of it all... I always said the most repelling thing to me on dating sites was photos of men with a doberman, rottweiler or... a HUGE fish in their hands. And I think the fish scores Nr 1 in this, lol.
Then guess what I end up with? A man who's totally into fishing. Sod's law But, he didn't have a photo of him with a fish on his profile. Which was good, cos I would've clicked "next!" at the speed of light.
It's not about fishing itself so much, it's that these huge fish creep me out. Since being with him I've learnt how big some fish are, even over here. I always thought these creepy huge fish were found outside of Europe.
I've always swam in open waters, but now I know this, I doubt I will even dip so much as a toe into natural waters anymore
E.g. a pike... I always thought these were 30-35 cm, which already scores a 10 on my Creep-O'Meter... Knowing how big they really are, mommy!!!
So fishing, great, wonderful. I'd like to join him on a fishing trip, just to see what it's like, how it affects him etc. etc. But only if I can stay at least 10 meters away from anything larger than a goldfish

Lol, I used to feel the same way Crystal, until I moved down here 8 years ago and started dating a fisherman. We'd go out on the reef to fish. I'd have him bait the hook

But then I caught my first fish and holy cow it was exciting. It was a nice size Hogfish, I didn't think I'd be able to reel it in but I did.

I love to fish now and will bait my own hook now... so long as it's not live bait I still have a problem with that.

Hihi, I'd prolly be excited too. And I would want to give it a whirl. I think it's important to take an interest in the other's interests and hobbies. Doesn't mean you have to like everything they do -if you do like what happened to you, great!- but I feel you should at least show interest. And I do have that, goes by itself cos I love him and he's so passionate about it. But I still don't see myself handling huge fish, lol.

I agree, and I'm not too keen on handling the big fish either, for the bigger ones I would reel them in and let the guy handle it, lol. The smaller ones I used a towel to wrap around it, I don't like the sliminess or getting cut by the fin .

The rest is cool, I'd definitely share the experience again if I met someone who loves to fish.

Oh, getting in the water out there was a little scary. I went snorkeling once, held on to a rope tied to the boat. It was a little exciting until I saw a huge Barracuda about 20 feet away staring at me, lol

Yeah, I sniffed it out... on Lake now.

It's ok crystal, easy done. You fell for the old don't tell her I fish trick! Common mistake by the Dutch ladies. now, for me. If she has a windmill surrounded by tulips I just run for the hills!

Nice one! I may get a chance to try a bit of river fishing in France next week

I'm out right now fly fishing in the creek up in North Idaho for trout I've got a couple 13 inch trout problem is I see 18 to 22 inch around me and I can't get any of them to so much as look let alone bite pretty sure my colors are off starting to frustrate me

Those bigger ones can be finicky in slower water. Ones we have like it better when then open the damn, stripe do to. But all trout can be finicky as well, if it's not a certain color, size, whatever for them that day they'll just look at it crosseyed..lol

I only got two 15" hybrid and the stripe I'm holding. It got to hot to stay out.

I live in a big fishing area but I have no interest in it.

Cool, be sure to show us your catch..

I need to go, haven't been in a couple years...

I love fishing been doing it since I can remember. It's my happy place.
