You get a better perspective in life once you meet people from many different cultures and you get to taste a variety of food....It is also amazing to see how similar we are as people even though we call things different names and think we practice things different because of our culture/religion etc,.

I train few times a week, then compete on weekends at the local 40years + TENNIS league, got more serious into competition in the last 3 years. I used to play for US Varsity Tennis when I was in my 20's. Got into more fishing when I retired from serious tennis 20 years ago.
Since fishing has gotten slower in many lakes close to GTA, and gas prices have gone up, I chose, knit pick and calculate when to take my chance to go fish, more than a necessity to go, but I still have to fight my urge all the time on trying to just wet my iine.
Prior to 7 years ago, I used to fish once a week, -10 degrees on winter months will not stop me from going out. Now I cut my trip down to twice a month max, and do more efficient shore fishing than taking my boat out. Hard to get consistent double digit catch by myself these days. I fish during spring and late fall, try to avoid hot summer months if I can control my fishing urges. By going to my local tennis club often, which is just 5 minutes away, it help me take my mind off fishing, after 1.5 hrs of playing, I get tired and my fishing urges disappear.
I love and understand the complication of both Tennis and Fishing sport, The Tennis sport just cost less and more productive/rewarding for the amount of time I invested in it. Prior to 10 years back, fishing used to be so easy. I still remembered landing at least 40 salmon in a month of evening shore fishing , while the person that got my into it was landing 60+. Not too overly crowded as well where we were fishing, almost 2-4 lines were going down at the same time in 5-10 minute increment. landing 5-10 Salmon a night per person was our norm. Nowadays aside from forcing to give up our spot due to desperate disrespectful anglers coming in to steal our spot while we were landing our fish, being able to land 10 salmon a season is calling it lucky.
One big plus on having this fishing sport,....... i learned to explore many areas , every time I travel outside of GTA
in ontario or to the US eastern state, fishing has been a part of my trip. FIshing has made me even more street smart today.

Fishing is new to me this year. I had two daughters playing girls AA hockey for 12 years. Really did not allow for any free time or other hobbies. So now I am exploring fly fishnig and fly tying. I also have a collection of straight razors and tobacco pipes that eat away and what could be considered disposable income
