“Give a man a fish
and he'll eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish
with the right line,
the right bait,
at the right time of day,
at the right sort of spot,
and if he has the right recreational or commercial licence
he may,
with practise and experience,
actually be able to feed himself
and his family
for a lifetime.
And that
is something worth fishing for!”
