Re: Fisherman Fishing Anonymous FFA Official Thread
It looks like its been a while since someone posted on here so here I go.
My name is Joey and I am deffinately a fishaholic, and proud of it. I dont own a tshirt without a fish on it, I have gear waiting for me in places all over NC so I dont have to think about packing it. Fish have been my life except for the time I was in the Corps, and my collapsable spinning outfit was always packed in my alice pack whenever I deployed or went to the field, except for the dessert. Every book I own is fish related, my last 7 jobs have been fish related. I made a career out of caring for fish, and working for their conservation. I dont care if its a cane pole with red wigglers, or a penn international with a rigged spanish. A ditch or the gulfstream. Hell Ive even tied corn to mono to feel my old koi pull. Some of the most wonderful and intimate times with friends and my life have been while fishing. And in my toughest times it was fishing that helped me through (returning from the balkans and seeing genocide first hand, the death of my parents). The most dear friends I have ever made were found with the common bond of fishing (except for those who took rounds with me in the Corps). Its not about the catching, but being around the water, watching a heron or osprey hunt. Watching that school of bait get torn up just out of range. Loosing that huge fish after a struggle and landing that large fish after a struggle. Its crusing throught the coastal rivers and creeks in a cypress skiff, with spanish moss in the trees, turtles falling off logs as you come around the bend. Its leaving the inlet just before dawn, listening to the hum of those diesels, looking at the charts and debating where you want to go that day. Watching the sun rise or set on the water. Wading up a creek fishing the holes and bends. Stumbling down a mountain trying not to spill your coffee to get to the isolated trout hole. Its the smell of the marsh, when you have been away for a while that smells like home. I could go on and on, but I will cut it off short. Its the common denominator among all of us, its what we all can agree upon, and what brings us together here on this forum.
Honestly I cannot think of anything I would rather do than to be on the water!!!

Dude it's cool! What the nonaddicted don't know is, We hold FFA meetings at a pier, Tackle shop, or BassPro. It's like holding an AA meeting at a bar, It's glorious.Zoldax wrote:If AA meetings are to quit drinking and Fishaholic meetings are to....hell NO! Im not quitting

Re: Fisherman Fishing Anonymous FFA Official Thread
I don't like fishing. I actually hate the stupid sport. I just like pissing people off by catching more fish and buying a lot of fancy gear. Fishing are for losers by the way. Who is stupid enough to missed work, spend time driving on the road, and stand in the hot sun just to catch a barely legal size fish. There are much better things to do then fishing.

The prostitute replied (wiping away tears), "When the check bounced."

Re: Fisherman Fishing Anonymous FFA Official Thread
Know what I like just as much, if not more than fishing. Getting other people hooked, or taking those who dont get the chance to go much. I would like to implore more of us to spread the faith. Take a kid, oldtimer, or disabled person to the water (especially our vets ). Karma will smile upon you, I promise!!!!!!!

Re: Fisherman Fishing Anonymous FFA Official Thread
Nothing better than seeing someone catch their first fish. I still remember that tiny little trout I caught when I was 6. Haven't stopped since, and moving to south FL just added fuel to the fire.Angler_saxon wrote:Know what I like just as much, if not more than fishing.

Re: Fisherman Fishing Anonymous FFA Official Thread
Hi, I'm Chris, im so addicted to fishing its unreal!! fishing is not my hobby it is part of me. countless times I have fished for hours or even a whole day in the extreme heat and huge downpours, I once left to go fishing in hurricane like conditions, pounding rain and fished under a bridge! I have spent a crazy amount of $$$ on rods, reels, lures new bait and tackle. I would travel from dania to pompano almost 5 days a week sacrificing all that money on gas, pier parking and admission especially at Anglins, since I am a regular there, there will never be a cure to my addiction, unfortunately due to health issues I have sat out from fishing since Feb and it really pains me a lot, hope to get back to action soon!!
There's no such thing as too much bait!!

Remember all, FFA meeting's are most weekend's at the pier, beach or head boat of your choice. Yeah, it's like having AA meeting's at Quarter Deck on bucket night but so what!

Re: Fisherman Fishing Anonymous FFA Official Thread
I approve of Chris21 bumping this thread up where I could see it. My fishing addiction has progressed over the years to the point that my wife calls it an obsession. Once that happens, you immediately need to get your wife also addicted or you are in real trouble, mister.
Its great to see that I'm not the only one that keeps a segregated area in the freezer for bait, or cant stop fishing until the bait is gone. I also have to pretend like I cant cast up more greenbacks, or I would never leave the spot!

My name is Jack and I am a fishaholic and darn proud of it. I just retired and had to watch my addiction but now I can let loose. And I will do the best job I can at going fishing everyday. FISH FISH FISH. Cant help it.
