For plenty of folks, ocean fishing is the ultimate thrill.  You see, these days more people grow up around lakes and rivers than around the sea.  Freshwater fishing is something that we all take for granted.  With lots lakes and rivers, you can stand on the shore, wade out in the water, or maybe take a ship with relative safety.  The sea means journey.  The biggest freshwater fish don’t compare to some of those monsters they have in the ocean, and even some of the worst tempests on the great lakes are nothing compared to how things can get on the ocean when the weather turns rotten.  Ocean fish regularly have lower concentrations of mercury and other pollutants, making them safer to eat in large amounts than many freshwater fish.  However, for my cash, freshwater fishing is still a better activity.  Nothing in the world beats it. 

Of course, I might be a little bit sentimental because of how I was raised.  You could say that freshwater fishing is in my blood.  My father was an excellent fly fisherman, and in fact he seemed to make a bunch of cash giving fly fishing tours and selling gear to both neighbors and tourists from out of town.  Although we were taught to look down on line fishing, we continue to did a fair amount from time to time.  Flyfishing is great, but there is so much variety to freshwater fishing that it is sad to restrict yourself to only 1 activity.  Though the actual fishing isn’t precisely as exciting, lake fishing still has some advantages over fishing in a stream.  There is nothing like spending a day out on the water, casting off again and again from a boat as the waves carefully rock you. 

One of the greatest things about freshwater fishing is that you don’t need an expert to steer you.  If you’re going fishing in the ocean, you definitely need some expert advice.  Just staying safe can be difficult on the ocean!  With small lakes and streams, by contrast, the worst you may do isn’t catch any fish.  And while things look nearly the same after you are out on the sea, each mile of a lake or brook is different.  When you go on a freshwater fishing trip, you’ve got an opportunity to appear some of the finest scenery anywhere.  And all that while catching succulent fish!
