Why? ... Reflections of an old salt.

So,..... my 4 reasons to go fishing are:

1) A day on the water. The peace of being with nature
2) Equally spending time with family/friends or the solitude of being alone.
3) Food
4) The sport (thrill) of the hunt and the satisfaction and constant re-affirmation to myself that I can provide for my family and myself if needed.

Can anyone else add to that list with something I might have missed? :head:
 
a reason to buy more stuff. you can always think of something you need or need to do... But who really needs a reason?
 
I love my kids, but being a stay at home mom, I need time away from them sometimes. So for me, it's my time when I can get away(turn my phone off and hide), spend some time with nature(guess that's why I like fishing out of Chass so much, it is the nature coast), and do something I enjoy with my clothes on. Getting some meat for the table is just a bonus, a tasty tasty bonus. Just wished I could go out offshore again, the feeling of it being just you as far as the eye could see in any direction was very calming.
 
Have not been out 2 years now!! Hoping that when I get a Kidney and get better, I will be able to take the grandkids out as I did with there parents!
 
It kind of adds on to your #1 choice

Fishing and boating chose me I had no choice. My fondest memories are fishing with the people who meant the most to me and trying to pay that back by sharing it with others.
