You're at the lake and walk, row, or crank up the motor to your favorite fishing spot. Sometimes it's peaceful, the water looks like glass. You may even see the sunrise or sunset. Other times it's windy, wavy, rainy and/or freezing and you feel nature's elements at every cast. One things the same each time you go out: it's you and the outdoors.

I love fishing for the suspense and anticipation. It's the suspense created as my bobber goes under, the anticipation of feeling a strike at any second while casting and retrieving, and thinking of mounting a trophy catch or preparing homemade fish frys.

Think of what fishing can teach; values can be picked up. Patience and persistence are needed to catch fish, especially as they can be stubborn from time to time.

It's the memories you'll make, and the moments on the lake where you clear your mind, kick back and relax. Even if the weather turns, a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.

Whether you catch and release, or catch to eat, the passion is there. It's a lifestyle to eat, sleep and breathe.

Why do you fish? What makes up your life style? How do you get to your favorite fishing spot?
