First Xmas since i can remember

[northeast1]

Well this year must be the first Xmas since i was about 5 that i am not getting any fishing gear of any kind....it is my choice but you have to draw the line somewhere...the lads that know me and been to my house will understand why lol i have a whole room dedicated to fishing of every kind....Infact i think a good clear out is needed, some of the gear is unused...so this year every man and his dog who ever buys me something has been told..NOTHING FOR FISHING.

Anyway am bored from looking at flight time tables and airports so thought i would share that with you

haha yeah i am the same i was forever picking up reels and rods..then i had a dab at fly fishing so i bought all that gear...then fly tying...then abit ledger fishing...then boat fishing got me hook line and sinker...then i had an accident at work and had to leave so i havent had a car since!...so fishing is once or twice a year...so im getting busy in the garden till a cheap boat pops along and takes my fancy to do up and use a friends car to tow it.

Aye Rich, I know what you mean, at this time of year sitting in the house bored, i usually scan EBAY etc for bargains that i don't really need, this year though i have'nt bought anything to do with fishing......much to the wife's delight.....

I have spent the last 4 days, looking at fligths to Norway, times, kilo amounts, rod tudes, taxi prices, Norway food and fuel prices, sea bed maps and wreck locations for the area lol i am not that bored just sick of looking so a change of thread was good

Think am going to ask for a years worth of fuel for the boat...that all i can think of...ow and west winds with sun all year but i maybe pushing it

i worked there in the late 90's, about an hours drive north of Bergen stunning scenery and the fish were biting well then ( from the shore )..... but the drink was rather expensive... the word "extortionate" was used by us frequently

[northeast1]

I know its very expensive for everything full stop..you only live once thou.

[northeast1]

King crab and only if you smoke tabs all day, shout at the crew and have 20ft waves crashing over the boat...onyl crabs i will stand a chance of catching in Norway.
