Lol not me. I miss bites when I’m not paying attention.

 

[Reel Newbie]

Love how no lines are in the water, I mean at least run a bait rig with a bell...

You can’t get fishing residue on your phone. Lol

 

[EgoNonBaptizo]

Fishing for a date maybe?

 

[onelilcrazyazn]

Gotta text the wifey before line goes in water

Taking a look at the daily horoscope to see if Scorpio has any good luck for fishing that day.

Ha checking tide table or looking at fish pictures

"Hi honey everyone's catching lots of mackerel, I might be here a while... Don't be silly - of course I'm drinking beer."

 

[Red Fish]

Okay... is this a captions contest?!
Okay, I’ll play.....
“My tide app says 5 more minutes until we bait up! What’s yours say?!”

 

[Mahigeer]

Some funny remarks, here.

I should have done a time sequence set of pictures, perhaps at ten minute intervals, to see if they continued to watch their phones or if they were concentrating on the fish. Of course I didn't see any fish that day.

If no fish, I'd have a line out, kicking back in the sun, only wit the ocasional message checks. I hate looking at a phone in the sun. I just might organize my gear or cut the knots off my previously used jigs.

5 bucks says they’re a lurker on here.

I hope this next generation appreciates piers as much as cell phone towers....

 

[pinfish]

I'm more addicted to my cell phone. And I haven't gone bait fishing in awhile. Maybe I will go back to it. haha. park and fish, especially in this weather

Great time to work on getting all the equipment ready for the season ahead.

Yeah, a lot of time for organizing and getting your fishing game plan ready. Funny, with the use of all the electronics, it reminds of some of the people that have said, ‘the fish don’t have a chance’ in regard to “fishfinders.” I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t an app w/ a transducer you can lower in the water to make your phone into a fish finder.

That give me an idea for a future research study: Curing the cell phone dopamine addiction with replacement behavior... like fishing. Research shows that we are addicted to our phones buzzing with texts, likes, messages, friend-adds, etc. because it elicits a release of dopamine in our brains, a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of happiness.

I'd bet the same process happens at the synaptic level when we see our rod-tips TAP TAP TAP. Maybe an interesting research project for an UPSAC redux, Ken? I'll get started on the IRB.....

I’d rather set the hook on a big fish than answer or mess with my phone.
