Interesting news report I just heard. Despite an increase in people saying they enjoy "outdoor" activity (after a decade of glued to TV/COMPUTER lack of growth in outdoor folk), the amount of MONEY and the amount of HARDWARE for fishermen (and fisherwoman?) has gone UP....BUT...the number of people who say they fish, or enjoy it, in a poll, shows the numbers have gone DOWN. WAY down, in fact, from years gone by.
SO...it seems, if the poll is correct, that those who fish are buying lots of expensive boats, rods/reels, gear...etc, but their numbers are dwindling. I wonder if it is a PETA type of "animal rights" concern, or more of a "don't want to go play outside" resurgence?
Do you fish? Do you notice less people doing it? Do you hate fish? Why?
What is your thought on this report? I didn't unfortunately, catch who DID the poll. It was a report on the radio.
