Anyone else getting into fishing during these crazy years?

1w ago1 min read

Started fishing about 6 months ago and it's been the best escape honestly. Just me, the water, and time to think. My oldest is getting into it now too which is awesome. We go to this lake about an hour away most Saturday mornings and we haven't caught anything huge but that's not really the point.

It's weirdly meditative. Way better for my mental health than I expected. Wife thinks I'm crazy for waking up that early but she gets it now because I'm just in a better mood the rest of the week. Anyone else use fishing as their thing?

This hits different when you've got a crazy work schedule like mine. Those couple hours on the water sound like absolute heaven right now.

Man, fishing is calling to me too. My boys are getting old enough that I could actually take them without it being a disaster. How'd you get started? Just picked a local spot and went for it?

Totally get this. I've been doing a lot of trail running lately and it's the same vibe - just need that space to breathe and think. Fishing seems chill though, less impact on the knees.

Fishing is the best escape I've found too. Just got back into it last year and my kids actually want to come along now, which blows my mind in the best way.

That's awesome man. Nothing beats getting your kids into the same things you love. My oldest just started going out with me and it's a whole different vibe than solo time.
