>I am much too impatient to fish. I live near the pacific ocean and have not been fishing since I was 16. I just cannot understand how someone can enjoy drowning worms and sitting down all day trying to catch a fish!

>Now when it comes to Ice Fishing, imagine someone who cuts a hole in the ice, sits down, drops in the fishing line with that special worm. First the worm freezes, then you freeze looking at that stupid hole in the ice, waiting for “the big one”. :)

Ah, obviously you haven't tried ice fishing in a heated shanty with a case of beer! :)

And, if you're concerned about drowning worms, try fly fishing! When you get really hooked on it, you can spend all winter tying new flies!
