Super User LrgmouthShad Posted December 29, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hey y’all, Wondering how much you talk about fishing in your daily life, especially at work/school/whatever. I used to talk more about it, but came to realize that most people just really don’t care. I hardly mention it anymore, but it often gets brought up to me, because inevitably someone sees my stickered up truck or heard from somebody that I fish a lot. I prefer it that way. Much better to be approached about it rather than just bringing it up, at least to me. What about y’all? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Jar11591 Posted December 29, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 29, 2022 The people close to me like family, girlfriend, friends, they probably think I never shut up about fishing. My girlfriend especially because she has to share a house with me and she works from home. But for people I don’t know well, I generally don’t bring it up unless asked, because I’ve found most people can’t even get past the fact that I catch and release. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gimruis Posted December 29, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 29, 2022 Mine is pretty much a combination of the two previous posts by @LrgmouthShad and @Jar11591. My wife doesn't even really ask me how the fishing was anymore, and other than one or two avid anglers at work, no one cares there either. My wife's Grandfather, who I see about 4 times a year, always asks me how fishing and hunting has been lately. I could talk to that guy for hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User scaleface Posted December 29, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 29, 2022 I dont unless someone starts the conversation . It bores people to death . I get asked about metal detecting more than fishing . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Bankbeater Posted December 29, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 29, 2022 I talk about it a little with my wife, until she gets that glazed over look in her eyes. No one at work fishes, so it doesn't get brought up there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody B Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 A few co workers fish. We have fishing conversations most every Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User A-Jay Posted December 30, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2022 How much do y’all talk about fishing in your daily life ? It's probably 50/50 dogs / fishing up in here. A-Jay 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough she does take some interest in my hunting success and failures. Lately I’ve been pheasant hunting and I think she’s more worried about the dog than me.

king fisher Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I'm always talking about fishing, but am not really sure what I do in my daily life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRiver Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Since my Dad died….. not too much. I have a few friends I see from time to time. And fishing is what we have in common, and that’s all we talk about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Mobasser Posted December 30, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2022 I used to talk about it a lot when I was still working full time. A couple of the guys I worked with fished also. Now I don't talk about fishing very much. But, I make up for it by thinking about fishing much of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User DitchPanda Posted December 30, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have buddies I talk to almost daily about fishing related things like weather, water temps and reports. My girlfriend still asks me about it everytime I go. At work I have a guy on my crew that loves to fish so he asks me often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnold335 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 My wife thinks it’s all the time. Probably to her I do talk about it most the time. At work I really don’t talk about it much unless someone brings it up. My dad and I do talk about it but he’s my main fishing partner.

Super User Columbia Craw Posted December 30, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2022 About as much as I talk about my enlarged prostate. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justbass11 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I’m going to just say about everyday…but not about my prostate🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happybeerbuzz Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I would estimate once a week for five to ten minutes. Maybe more in warmer months and less in the wi. I only have two people around me that are truly interested. One can’t fish anymore because of injury, and the other was an avid angler but is no longer. In many ways, fishing has evolved into a private passion even though I fish with others occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have a buddy who never shuts up about his prostate so..... I'm guessing you talk about both quite a bit? 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 10 hours ago, Columbia Craw said: About as much as I talk about my enlarged prostate. I have a "friend" who had his prostrate removed about 15 years ago. I still hear about his surgery and the aftermath. It does get old. 😒 I have my sons and a group of friends I fish with and we talk "fishing". Other friends have no interest and the subject never comes up.
