Without knowing exactly where they’d move to, Arlo would be fishing from shore or a pier and the fish he catches ain’t the ones he and Janis are dining on, they’re deep water species. But the ones he catches can still be tasty.
Keep on dreaming, Arlo. Fish every day? Like at a restaurant? Fishing that doesn’t cost anything? Ah, well, after the initial layout for rod, reel, tackle, license, and lures… when I was little I got a plain bamboo rod with a line and hook and fished for brook trout with nature’s free bait, worms. Ah, that was sweet. Cleaned and cooked (simply fried in butter) the trout myself, too. Delicious.
Um, even if he caught the fish, Janis is going to clean and gut and cook fish to restaurant standards? Not to mention learning to make delicate sauces and suitable sides. Then clean up. Once a month, maybe.
While I like to fish now and then, add up the cost of tackle, license, bait, lures, and all the de rigueur clothing and accessories. The price per pound of fish gets expensive. Add in a boat and it gets silly.
How about the mercury levels in fish? A woman on our TV News thought she’d eat healthy and became really loopy after three weeks of tuna and other fish meats. Her tests showed higher than normal mercury levels. Her doc said fish once a week. No more.

Fresh ocean fish costs my brother-in-law with a boat about $300 per pound.

Teach a man to fish and he spends his life in a boat drinking beer.

fishing is easy, catching…..not so much.

It wouldn’t cost a thing? Maybe, once you factor in the cost of all the the fishing equipment, whatever you need for that…

You should see the cost of live bait. Then there are lures and you need a whole box full in case they aren’t hitting what you are throwing.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you won’t see him all weekend.

As my dad informed a very young me once upon a time, “Fishing isn’t catching.”

Clearly, Arlo has not looked at the price of modern fishing gear.
