Best Fisherman Quotes and Sayings

Going fishing is one of the most relaxing things you can do. Not just because there’s a great sense of accomplishment when you hook a big one, but also because the days spent sitting outdoors, watching the water and waiting for something to happen are among the most rejuvenating.

Fishing is a lot like life. You can spend all day long trying to catch something, and if you’re not careful, you might end up with nothing. But if you spend some time thinking about what it is you want out of life, then you’re more likely to catch it—even if that takes an hour or two each day away from fishing (and family and friends). A fisherman is a person who catches fish through the art, study or practice of fishing. Fishermen catch fish by using such devices as hooks and lines, nets and other tools.

To be a successful fisherman, you must use all your senses about everything that goes on around you at sea. Fish can smell danger, so be aware of your surroundings as much as possible. The weather can change quickly so watch for signs that a storm may be coming soon. Avoid fishing during storms if at all possible.

Whether you’re a professional or amateur, this collection of fisherman quotes will make you prouder of this great profession or hobby.
