Its not the early, I love to fish. When I fish I get up at about 4am usually. Its the sitting still and not moving for hours at a time that gets me. With fishing you can talk with someone, and if the fish are not biting, just pack up and boat somewhere else.

That's why you gotta go small-game hunting.....IME, ducks are the most fun and rewarding experience I've had. But we don't really get pheasants or geese around here. So that sucks.

But there's lots of dove, quail, cottontail and ducks. I'm not a huge hunter nowadays so that's enough to keep me occupied as far as small game goes. My dad just recently got a Depradation(?) permit from the game warden to hunt at night with spotlights for some wild hogs that are destroying some grapes, so I'll probably go along because that is just too good to pass up.

If your issue is that you can't talk and socialize, it's a lot better than big-game hunting.

I personally like fishing, but I haven't gone since I started keeping fish a year ago or so. No real reason, but I probably would be kinda sad.

From what I've learned about these freshwater fish, I think taking a trip for some dorado or payara would be some crazy and fun stuff.

I got a whole case of sample-size Jack Link's jerkey a while back, all different kinds.  Kept me for almost a year, and people were complaining about my breath the whole time.

I didn't care - I had free jerky.
