I enjoyed fishing for fun last weekend and am thinking of taking it up more often.
I've never really been. What's so enjoyable about it>
It was so peaceful being out in nature.
Yes that's the main thing about fishing that appeals to me. The peace and quiet as you cast out your line trying to catch a fish.
What type of line do you use? I have a cheap line from Walmart.
Bit of a mix with me - I've done hand gathering, spearing and trapping in my time.
What is hand gathering, I haven't heard of that? 
Basically just using your hands - picking up shellfish or kelp up off the beach. Not sure it could even be classed as fishing really. I think some even go diving for lobsters - bit extreme for me though!
