Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Cart Fishing

Two fishermen were talking about the good old days….

One says, “when I was a kid there were so many fish here I could always catch a few.”

The other says, “when I was a kid here we used a horse and cart and got enough fish to sell at the market.”

“How did you do that then?”

“Well, we had this good old horse and we used to back the cart down into the water and put treacle on his tail. The flies got stuck in the treacle and when the fish jumped out of the water for the flies that good old horse just kicked them into the cart. We had a load of fish in no time!”

Fish trap

This fisherman goes to the river to check an illegal fish trap that he owns. He looks around to make sure there are no Fishing Inspectors about and proceeds to pull the fish trap out to check it.

An Inspector steps out of the bushes, “Ahha!” he said and the fisherman spun around and yelled “Shiiiit!”. The Inspector, who wasn’t expecting such a response said “Settle down, I’m the Fishing Inspector”. “Thank God for that” said the fisherman, “I thought you were the bugger who owned this fish trap”.
