My Dad used to take us fishing. Nothing fancy, no huge rods or anything, just fishing off the edge of a long wharf with a line. Caught a few small fish. Was really rubbish at it, generally. I wouldn't mind going fishing in a more serious way someday, but to be honest, there are a lot of other things I'd rather do so... eh. *shrug*

I do agree with Pheesh that freshly caught fish taste that much better. Dad would go spearfishing etc. and we'd have amazing food. Same with shellfish, we'd stalk the right beaches and come home for dinner with fresh scallops, pipi, etc. I'm very grateful for Dad's fishing skills and Mum's cooking skills.
