There are a couple of carp fishing books I’ve been reading. I’m very interested in that line of books, because I think they write very well, carp anglers, about the general environment.
I grew up fishing and hunting with my dad, knowing Garrett does that, he would fit in so well. I really like Garrett.
In the suburban Midwestern Reform Jewish world I was raised in, in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, grown men built plastic scale models of Israeli tanks and F-15 jets and displayed them throughout the house, dangling the warplanes from bedroom ceilings with fishing line.
Old Filey lies around the Ravine, a glacial gash running down to Coble Landing. This is the fishing Filey of centuries past, with neat little terraced cottages and a cluster of attractive 18th century houses.

If you introduce kids to fishing, they become good citizens.
I’m so lucky that ‘The Vampire Diaries’ happened. I’m so lucky that Warner Bros. pays me money. You have no idea. I should be on a fishing boat with my dad.
I always went to Ireland as a child. I remember trips to Dundalk, Wexford, Cork and Dublin. My gran was born in Dublin, and we had a lot of Irish friends, so we’d stay on their farms and go fishing. They were fantastic holidays – being outdoors all day and coming home to a really warm welcome in the evenings.
I gave up fishing in England. It got too crowded.
The stream at the end of your street can be a place where you make contact with this whole other amazing world hidden right there beneath the surface. Fishing can be the passport to that world.

I grew up hunting and fishing, as did my family. But then I served in the military.
‘Mustanging’ was like trout fishing. It is always the big ones that get away. When you did get a bunch of them into a corral, you found they did not look half so large and handsome as when they were first sighted on the prairie.
The oceans have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. As a child, I spent hours playing in the surf off Cape Cod. In college, I fished along the rocky coast of Nova Scotia with my school’s fishing team.

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
I play guitar quite a bit, because I’m always in search of something. I don’t play to jam, but because I’m fishing. I’m looking for something, that I hope you can never find. If I do find it, I’m afraid I won’t have a need to do this any more.
I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don’t hunt. We’re not gun folk.
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.
I’m very lucky that I got to spend my summers at my grandmother’s house on Martha’s Vineyard. My brother really loved fishing, and he spent a lot of summers working on a charter fishing boat.
When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.
I’m lucky in that I travel a lot for work. I also manage several holidays a year. I’m not someone who sits in the sun or goes sightseeing, though. If I go away, it will be for fishing or something like that.
The shell fishing industry represents a major part of Louisiana’s economy.
Every human being in this world is interested in certain things. Everybody has a hobby. Some people like art; I know nothing about it. Some people like books, some people like fishing, some people like music. I like to look at cars.
There is an urgent need for regeneration of fisheries and fostering a sustainable fisheries programme. What I mean is, designing new fishing vessels and nets so that they do not disrupt the fish lifecycle by catching young ones and also do not destroy sea grass beds, which serve as habitats for dugongs.
St. Lucia was a place were we used to go on vacation – not every year, but we went there a couple of times. I remember the last time that I went there, I was really small, and the only memory that I have is that my dad was going swimming or fishing one day – and I really, really wanted to go – but I was too young.
I did catch a bull shark, and also accidentally caught two very large groupers. The bigger one was not far short of 400 lbs. It just reinforced that fishing is about the unexpected. You sit there waiting for one thing, and then something totally different comes along.
What do I think about when I’m fishing? I don’t really know. Mate, I just think about how I’m going to catch my next fish.
I’m big into fishing, but I’ve never been much of a hunter. I never was really raised around it a whole lot, so I never got a chance to do it a whole lot.
The juxtaposition between fishing and touring couldn’t be greater.
If you ask the fish whether they’d rather have an oil spill or a season of fishing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d vote for another blowout.
The number one rule of fishing is be quiet. Don’t scare the fish!
I try to think of myself as a chic fishing grandpa aesthetically.
You can judge the fact that I like video games or wine or love basketball or like going fishing. You can judge all that. But there are certain things that you can’t, and I think people are figuring that out. Me, being from the old school, I figured that out early.
If I could be involved in the hunting and fishing industry, that would be amazing. That said, I studied biology in college and that led into me being really involved in anatomy and being a pre-med major.
I’ve managed to convince my wife that somewhere in the Bible it says, ‘Man cannot have too many shotguns and fishing poles.’

It is to be observed that ‘angling’ is the name given to fishing by people who can’t fish.
In Portugal, my sculpture ‘She Changes’ refers to the town’s fishing history, to the era of seafaring trade and discovery. The contemporary site is industrial, surrounded by red and white striped smokestacks, which is mirrored in the pattern of the sculpture.
I would read fishing reports on the road and then it just occurred to me: I should go to sea school and get my captain’s license, see if I can get paid to be out here every day.
When I go fishing I like to know that there’s nobody within five miles of me.
If you’re looking for a wonderful way to spend time, take up fishing.
I’d be willing to do anything once. I did live bass fishing on TV. I’ve done horse jumping… so clearly I’m not very picky.
I never watch MTV. I don’t have time to watch TV. And when I do, I’m watching the Discovery Channel. ‘Deadliest Catch: Crab Fishing in Alaska,’ that’s my show.
I have a TV show, a radio show. I’ve authored two books. I own a construction company, own a commercial fishing lodge, and am a pilot.
On the face of it there is a pristine white sandy beach, but within an hour, around 100 of us can collect up to 250-300 kilos of rubbish. It’s mostly bits of plastic, fishing line, nylon, bottle caps. We’ve found everything.
I’d pull my little brother on our motorcycle on an inner tube behind it. We would go fishing, we would hunt some, growing up.
You know, you can only play just so much golf or go fishing just so often.
In a pine tree behind me, an eagle waits out the rain, hunched into himself, brooding. Crows squabble, a murder chasing a raven. Seals cruise the lines of fishing nets bobbing in the water, hoping for an easy meal, the tender bellies of salmon.
I have been involved with U.S. Soccer for 30 years, and I don’t remember one senior woman in the organization that you would deal with on a daily basis in a position that was making decisions. That is a huge issue. How many times do you hear, ‘There are no women around?’ Well, they are fishing in the wrong pond.
I get to be a real adventurer with my fishing work. The acting work is free, I always say I get paid for the waiting around.
New York has an amazing history of farming and fishing that goes right back to the Pilgrim Fathers. At its core are the four seasons, which are distinct, well-established and similar to those in Lyon, where my family lives: when it’s snowing in New York, a week later it will be snowing there.
