There is no subsititue for fishing sense, and if a man doesn't have it, verily, he may cast like an angel and still use his creel largely to transport sandwiches and beer
John D. Voelker
Image
Their monument sticks like a fishbone in the city's throat.
Robert Lowell
Image
Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job.
Paul Schullery
Image
Had it been published by a voice from heaven, that twelve poor men, taken out of boats and creeks, without any help of learning, should conquer the world to the cross, it might have been thought an illusion against all reason of men yet we know it was undertaken and accomplished by them.
Stephen Charnock

This was an evil beyond thinking. The killing of a man was not so evil as the killing of a boat. For a boat does not have sons, and a boat cannot protect itself, and a wounded boat does not heal.
John Steinbeck

My father was a golden boy from a very small town. He won a very prestigious law scholarship to NYU Law School, and there in Greenwich Village, he met my mother, who was very young, fresh off the boat from Germany.
Blake Bailey

There are so many traps. There are so many opportunities. Life is a river and we take our boat and we go down it.
Frederick Lenz

Jolly boating weather, And a hay harvest breeze, Blade on the feather, Shade off the trees.
William Johnson Cory

I will go anywhere if you say the phrase 'there might be cake.' I would go to the Department of Motor Vehicles, register somebody else's boat in Spanish, a language I do not speak, without ID - for cake.

What most people find festive-a weekend at a beach shack with friends, a boat trip down a river, a crackling bonfire on a summer night-I see as a bleak nightmare to be grimly endured. I would sooner put lit cigarettes in my eyes than share a vacation house with a crowd.

The matter of flies, lines and other equipment of the right sort is not absolutely necessary in the rising of fish but they are very important in that they make it easier to do the things which bring success and in some cases are essential to success.
Ray Bergman

Angling is an amusement peculiarly adapted to the mild and cultivated scenery of England
Washington Irving

If you have a boat and a happy marriage, you don't need another thing.
Ed McMahon

I haven't bought a yacht or an island or even a palm tree.

A fisherman is always hopeful -- nearly always more hopeful than he has any right to be.
Roderick Haig-Brown

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
George Carlin
Image
Catching fish is not a mental game between fish and angler. A 'smart' trout is only smarter than other trout, not smarter than a fisherman. An angler must take the puzzle of the day's conditions, and matching those conditions and his knowledge of the fish come up with a good catch. He competes with a concept, not with a fish's brain.

In the future, I mean to be a fine streamside entomologist. I'm going to start on that when I am much too old to do any of the two thousand things I can think of that are more fun than screening insects in cold running water
Thomas McGuane

You won't find one fish in a million that has enough sense to come in when it rains.
Robert Benchley
Image
The body is a boat that carries the soul in the ocean of the world. If it is not strong, or it has a hole, then it cannot cross the ocean, so the first duty is to fix the boat.
Baba Hari Dass
Image
There is nothing as relaxing as being out on the open sea, listening to the waves and the wind and the sails and voices downstairs yelling HOW DO YOU FLUSH THESE TOILETS?
Dave Barry
Image
What's next for me? I don't know. So I'm in exactly the same boat as many of you.
Jill Abramson
Image
To say, my fate is not tied to your fate, is like saying your end of the boat is sinking.
Hugh Downs
Image
No man must be superior to the things that are common to men.... Not only are we all in the same boat, but we are all seasick.
