Is Fishing a Religion ?
Can be if enough people register it with census ,[ apparently last census Jedi Knight became a religion as so many people registered it as their religion], maybe we can have it as a weekly church outing on the water .

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day , teach a man to fish and feed him for life .

I dont know about it being a religion, but I would be lost with out it.
If fishing is a religion, the open water is my church.

Well Greg, #as somewhat of a resident expert on such matters (ex as in unknown quantity, and spert as in a drip under pressure!) I'd definitely have to say no!
Sadly, religion which is meant to foster spiritual growth and development is sometimes corrupted by power and politics therefore made useful to no one, and most aussies write it off at that point for that reason and for good reason - so be careful what you believe!
To me...
Religion is about a bloke who sits in church and dreams about going fishing...
On the other hand Spirituality is about a bloke who goes fishing and thinks about the wonder of creation, the mysteries of its creator and the connection he personally has with all of that!
so anyone for communion?????
I reckon Tunaman is onto something!!!!!
Unfortunately the Census doesn't ask the right question!!!!
I look forward to the development of this post!!!!

Well i dont know about Fishing being a Religion but i do consult my bible before going out now lets see chapter 2 page 3 witch marks to use
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.
Hi all
revs57 is on to some thing but he forgot to mention that the man upstairs walk on water we steer on water, and gave peter the fisherman the best catch he even had still waiting for mine, for those that are catholic eat fish on friday with no red meat to be seen we are all under one roof with the same stars weather it be rain hale or shine, we still pray for a good feed, clear skies, but pray we have a good time, fish in boat a bonus, we are all bare footed and fore ever washing hands watering the head some are water the bodies with spirits we all have bread on board and some even have wine and on most days in the hot sun we are dunking our heads into the water so it clearly shows that with all this as my Grand parents where religious my grand-father once told me you do not have to go the church as the man up-stair never preached inside it was always on the cobble stones a rock wall or in the open spaces and on the water
we can say we have a religion
and for once there is no differents between any of us, we are all under the one banner, one roof at any one time and we all take the same chances
Cheers

P.S i'm not a religious person myself but like many other i have my own beliefs
Damn straight it's a religion. I devote every Sunday morning (plus other days for special occasions like Easter and Christmas) to being on the water. When I am there I am praying to the fish God's for there largest offering. It sounds like a religion to me
I was bought up with the ethics of never getting into arguments over politics or religion because everyone has their own beleifs and beleive that they are right ,hence no one can win the debate .Just my dribblings (fishing is your own personal religion)

I worship Latis a celtic goddess of water and beer.It seemed to suit LOL.
Forgive me paternoster for I have sinned
It has been six weeks since my last plastics session
I confess to having lusted after better tackle
I have lied about my weights and measures
last week I coveted my neighbor's boat
Please forgive this unworthy fisher and a I promise to spend more time on the water and will take a mate fishing as penance

Fish for the future, enjoy the present but think of your children.

Now, i am not a religious buff, but i found this cute little prayer.
An Angler's Prayer
I pray that I may fish until my dying day,
and, when it comes to my last cast;
I then most humbly pray,
when in the Lord's great landing net
and peacefully asleep;
that in His mercy I be judged
big enough to keep.
