Maoris now own over half the commercial fishing industry in New Zealand.
I do like going out and finding free food. I've done it since I was a child. Fishing prawns and shrimps from the sea is wonderful, as is picking blackberries, sloes and mushrooms. Having a guide while out looking for mushrooms is really important, though, as picking the wrong type can be quite dangerous.
If I were not African, I wonder whether it would be clear to me that Africa is a place where the people do not need limp gifts of fish but sturdy fishing rods and fair access to the pond. I wonder whether I would realize that while African nations have a failure of leadership, they also have dynamic people with agency and voices.
When I am fishing, I think quite a lot about the fish, but I also think about the book I'm writing.

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.
Like they say, you can learn more from a guide in one day than you can in three months fishing alone.
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.

Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime.
Right now I am kicking around an idea to do a web talk show on a boat. Guests would come on and go fishing with me. I would like to take people who have never fished: You get them out on the water and they really open up.
We also own a little boat and I'm like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day.

The obsessions of others are opaque to the unobsessed, and thus easy to mock. NASCAR, jazz, baseball, roses, poetry, quilts, fishing. If we're lucky, we all have at least one.

We met in April of 2000, and we weren't really an official couple until June or July.

There was, like, no cell phone service at the time; people were using those giant cordless phones that looked like a brick.
Every city has a town outside with a lake. I pull out my fishing pole and fish. I've been doing that for a long time.
I like fishing as much when I don't catch anything as when I do.
