And one thing I can be proud of is we have a 'Come and Try Fishing' day every year. And there's 20 venues throughout the state, and see, these thousands of kids who've never been fishing come along.

I love fishing, any kind of fishing.

I recognise that fishing is perhaps not the most high-employment industry in this country, but it's a symbol of what we lost when we entered the E.U.: control over national resources that, if we retained them, we could have husbanded in our interest and, indeed, in the interest of others.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.

I can really fish - I've been fishing since I was a kid.

One of the things I enjoy the most is fishing.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different.
