It never appealed to me. We had a laugh as kids, playing with crab lines, and having little competitions to see who could get the most pinchy things into their bucket, using a bit of nylon cord with a hook and baited with some bacon.
You're either a fishing or a shooting person. I chose the latter, more on the target shooting side of it than game hunting though. But that got boring too, when the middle class tossers started turning up with £3000 worth of space age carbon composite, complete with recoil compensators and balance arms. With the obligatory £1500 Zeiss optics, bolted to the scope rail. No fun if you take it that far.
