Bad weather and bad luck.

Never mind Richy m8 as the weather has to change in the next couple of days we have had the run of April showers but it has to ease up by Monday or Tuesday so that might cheer you up some and will a Shamano Japanese boat rod be ok.to take on the plane as they break down a little.Getting back to the weather as nobody can get out there and just fish the rivers as its that bad and we are starting to be like couch potato/s and its boring sitting watching out the window wishing it would just stop persisting down you know what i mean and you know i cannot wait to get out on your boat too so get down on your knees and start praying eh ha-ha so keep your pecker up and keep smiling.see you later m8

Well i am borred looking at that rain and the NE wind.

Quick run down of the season so far...just to cheer others up.

Later start than wanted due to waiting for boat spares to come

Back in water but hit with bad weather first weekend

Next weekend made it out both days but best i did was 7 fish

Following weekend NE winds no chance at sea

Future forecast looking strong NE winds so one more weekend missed

Phone call today from one of lads that goes week in week out with me, due to Divorce and needing to look afer kids he cant fish Sundays all season....that leaves me a man down every Sunday this season as not mnay can do or want to do week in week out.

Last bit of good news my rod wont fit in the rod tube to take to Norway with me so a new one is rquired


That lot should cheer people up feeling down about being land locked

I Do My Best RICHY. To Get Out With You As Much As I Can. Take Next Month (May) 3 Full Weekends Penciled In. June 2 Weekends. And If The Season Dose Just So Happen To Kick Off I've Got Leave Waiting To Be Booked For Those Dead Flat Calm Sea, Clear Blue Sky Days.

Keep smiling Richy, it will all be better in time for the bank holiday next weekend. If it’s not, I’m going to start a decorating thread instead of a catch report. Looking out the window at the wind moving the heavy rain horizontally and temperatures in the low single figures it’s hard to believe we had shorts and t-shirt weather this time last month. I’ve not been out since then

On the positive side, your boat is fixed and ready, the cod should have moved in by now and the macks are on their way. The money you’ve saved on diesel will easily cover the cost of a new rod or two.

I bought a rod last summer but the butt was too long for my liking so I shortened it with a hacksaw. Job done, now I have a neat little 6ft 6 solid carbon rod that would fit into a rod tube. It’s a Maxximus solid carbon lightweight that you’re welcome to borrow if you cannot find one you like and don’t want to chop up one of yours.
