There's nothing like sitting out on the boat on a Saturday afternoon waiting for a bite. I always love to go fishing. Of course, the only thing I can't stand about it is that you have to use icky worms. Ew, their so slimy. I had a friend tell me the other day that you can use corn to fish and it actually works! No more gooey, ewwwy worms for me!
