Lots more to fishing than catching that lunker.
Some of my best times fishing were days I got skunked.
So my answer wouldbe no.
While I do fish to catch fish, I fish to enjoy first. Sometimes its the company, surroundings, solitude, relaxation, weather, or just to watch some others having a good time. All depends on mood.
There is something about watching some tourist's kid that is seeing the Atlantic for the first time,,,,, and then catching their first ever schoolie that makes fishing good.
Or an oldtimers stories of times gone by when you could fish anywhere and sell your catch for enough to subsidise a fishing vacation that is good.
Even having a "know-it-all" telling you how they would do something (and realise they were really messed up) that can make me enjoy a good grin.
To fish 1 spot for 10 yrs. as a priority, and possibly miss some of this? Naw, not my idea of why I fish.
To each their own though.
