It has been years since I have been fishing. When I was younger a friend of mine and I would go pond fishing on weekends. We would mostly catch bluegill but the occasional bass would jump on our line. Sometimes we would go to the river and fish for catfish. I was never a very good fisherman but it was always relaxing and fun. After my friend moved away I never went again.
I did go deep sea fishing a couple of times. That was fun until I got sea sick the second time out. About 15 minutes out I got sick. I stayed sick until my feet hit land again. I felt so bad that if I could have seen land I think I would have swam home. Luckily it was only a half day trip.
I would guess that fishing is one of the more popular hobbies in the world. I read a stat that $41 billion is spent on recreational fishing in the U.S. every year. There are nearly 50 million anglers in the U.S. alone. What these stats tell me is this. If you are going to sell wood crafts at a local arts and crafts show you should include some fishing related projects. Those statistics say that one out of every six people who walk into your booth are involved in fishing in some way.
