Fishing is the activity of hunting for fish by hooking, trapping, or gathering. Fishing has become a popular sport practiced by men, women and children.
History
Fishing dates back to the Mesolithic period. During this period fish were consumed in large quantities. The Nile river was full of fish which were an important food for the Egyptian population. Through the years up to today people all over the world enjoy fishing.Quote
Bait fishing is one of the easiest ways to catch fish. The approaches to catching fish are many--fly fishing, spinner fishing, jig fishing, trolling, and snagging to name a few—bait fishing is a good method for the beginning fisherman or fisherwoman. Bait fishing offers both simplicity and effectiveness for anglers. It is simple in that one only has to bait up a hook and throw the line in the water, and it is effective because the presence of live bait is a temptation that hardly any fish can resist! It is said that if you give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day. If you teach him how to fish, however, he’ll eat for a lifetime. — WikiHow
