Walter Borton of Pitman has been a fisherman for 12 years. His father taught him how to fish in the ocean surf. But Borton enjoys the challenge of fishing the freshwater lakes near his home.

"It's relaxing, that's the biggest thing, and it's peaceful," said Borton, 35. "I take my boat out sometimes and all you hear are birds and the wind whistling through the trees. I've went at all times of the day to fish and you'll find every lake is unique. The fish feed at different times and you have to experiment with different types of bait to catch them.

"I got my dad to go lake fishing with me, but he didn't see the point because it's more to relax than to eat what you catch."

But there is one type of freshwater fish that Borton always eats when he catches it - trout.
