My whole family loves to fish. Have several ponds around the house. I hate it. Hate the heat, the snakes, the mosquitoes,and the gators that occasionally get in the big pond. I do, however love white perch. :)

I like to fish, have done it since I was a small girl, my dad used to bring his 3 girls. My husband and I would go fishing on dates. Started both kids fishing when they were very young. My daughter 19 still loves to fish, my son 21 never really took to it. Neither quilt alas.

My mom's a Coastie too. So I guess you can say it's in my blood.

You must be a Mainer? My grandparents had a summer antique barn in Lincolnville Beach. We knew a lobster fisherman up there -- good friends with my Grandfather.

wouldn't miss fishing if I never hold a pole in my hand..just give me the needle and thread.

Now with my one son, it's another story.....and I do enjoy his catch !!!!

I have been a "fisherperson" all my life from about age 4. I was my dad's fishing buddy. I would escape as often as possible and go fishing. I couldn't wait to retire so I could fish as often as I wanted. Little did I know that by the time I retired, I would have COPD, arthritis and that I had left most of my strength back on the job. I was a stream fisher-person and fishing mountain streams is not good for an old person. One mid-October, I was up pretty high, on the steep slope of a mountain and huffing along, and scrabbling to stay upright and it started to snow. Never had a cell phone, nobody but me knew where I was and the realization hit me that if I fell and broke somthing up here, nobody would know until next spring. That ended my best fishing days and since then, it just doesn't matter so much, so now, I sew.
