Whats With Dads And Fishing?

Many dads go fishing to refresh themselves from all the work and jobs they do daily

. If you ask kids or wives where their dad is on a perfect fishing day, they'd probably say:"Dad's gone fishing". I've personally tried fishing at a freshwater pond when I was around 12 years old and I found it painfully boring. From trying to get the spinner bait, and hooking it on the rod and then waiting for hours doesn't sound like fun to most young people. What then do dads see in fishing for it to become their favorite sport? In my opinion:

* The outdoors- when our dads' were young, they spent their time outdoors something that the younger generation don't do much of with all the gadgets and games around for recreation. They grew up hunting in nearby bushes, swimming in lakes and probably fishing with their dads. Fishing gives them a chance to be 'young' again and do the things they used to.

* Time to think- it's a fact-dads have the most troubled minds and carry a lot of worries daily. They need some time away from it all. I guess they were able to find a solution to some big family problem while out on the quite waters fishing. The fact that usually none of the kids and more so wife would be keen on going with them really makes fishing their 'alone time'.

* It's manly- every man has the instinct and desire to be dominant, in control. Fish don't reason out, dont' brag-they are something that men can dominate for sure. Being able to lure the fish and man handle into the boat makes them feel like the boss.

Whenever they feel like a failure or are disappointed about something, that simple sense of accomplishment makes them feel like men again.

* It's the stories- whether it be a great catch or something they saw while fishing, its a story and something their buddies would love to hear about.

If fishing seems to be so inviting, why don't others like it? It requires a lot of patience-something that most dads have learned through all their experiences in their lives and something that many haven't yet developed. I think it would be a good idea for everyone to find time to get outdoors, learn to be patient and enjoy fishing.
