>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!

Totally agree with you. If you're going to sit down and do nothing all day, mi'swell sit on the sofa and catch a film on the telly. Strikes me as equal with golf as one of the most pointless "exercises" known to man.

Kinda like sitting in a freezing cold privvy all day - but far less ,,, shall we say, productive :-)
