I want to throw out my line, having chosen the perfect rod and bait, and wait until I feel a bite (controller vibration). Then struggle with a fish to haul it in without breaking the line.

That is fishing. If they get rid of waiting for a bite, or the struggle of landing a fish, then it isn't fishing. Fishing is relaxing because of the process... not because you go to sleep!

Communing with nature get stuffed!

Fishing all day and not getting a single bite sometimes: That is fishing.

That's why you bring beer.

Lots and lots of beer.
