Ive got 3 and usually I can count on 1- I normally go 2-4 times a week wether its on the ice- in a boat- from shore or streamDoes anyone else's friends think its wierd/gay/stupid to fish? Out of 20 or so people im close too only 5 or so would ever consider fishing and only 2-3 are good at it.... Forget about a girl who likes it as much as me.... Ive been told I fish too much by my parents/friends as wellLooking forward to open water perching with the waders sunday!

Stupid, gay, weird ? their the ones that will be callin ya to bail them out of jail one day !!
NickP, Keep doing what you love. We are a dieing breed. When I was going 30 years ago there was 13 of us. Now were down to two, myself and another buddy who are serious. People act like they want to go, and they say man when you go call me. When I call them I only give them two chances, after that I don't call anymore. Plus what I have found out is if I wanted to babysit I would have taken a job at a daycare. I'm tired of tying hooks on for grown men.
i'm somewhat antisocial so it is hard to keep friends. I try to take my brother along and he whines like a little baby (he is 36), stuff like turn the heater on, close the shanty, give me the aquavu. I sort of like just going by myself, no one sees my dumb mistakes.
Finding fishing buddies what tough until I got into participating in online forums. Only problem is figuring out who are the nice people, and who are the leeches...I used to be naive to the whole thing, but its now all too obvious that there are some people that care about nothing but themselves. Ugh.
freinds are freinds pals are pals but BUDDIES sleep together
Well my girlfeind goes all the time with me I got her setting tip ups after I drill the holes (I know it's sweet) I have 3 other freinds that will go everytime I ask them if they can and a whole handfull of the guys that say yea yea yea I want to go I want to go then I call in the morning and they DOG me... So now I just ask the people that are serious about going and tell the other guys if they want to meet us out there.. On a side note the saying around my parts has always been freinds are freinds pals are pals but BUDDIES sleep together or maybe I just can't stand the use of the word buddy little gay if you ask me..
If you don't fish you ain't no friend of mine! 8)
