  • OUT TONIGHT........BUT WHY?

    Now I know we can all have \"off nights\" and get a bit peed off about not catching anything, but has anybody SERIOUSLY thought about packing this fishing lark in - or even just wondered WHY you go fishing in the first place?

    I had a few hours out tonight (8:00 \'til 11:30) - wasn\'t intending to go fishing tonight but just a spur of the moment thing. Checked what bait was in the freezer: some runny, mussel, squid & mackeral - not a lot, but enough for a few hours out.

    A couple of hours and 2 whiting into the session, I got to wondering \"why am I here doing this?\" and realised that I wasn\'t really enjoying being out fishing - 1st time I\'ve ever felt that. As most of you will know, I\'m no stranger to the \"blank session\" and in the past, even when I\'m having one of those frequent \"blank sessions\", I\'ve still enjoyed being out fishing.
    Tonight, I wasn\'t blanking - infact given the length of time / number of fish caught ratio, I was having quite a good session (for me...lol).

    So WHY did I get to thinking the way I did????
    Beats me......I hope it\'s nothing serious......lol

          TC I\'ve found it very hard to get out this year. For the first time since I started up again the thought of getting my cold wet waders on, on top of my itchy monkey suit and stinking jacket just does not do it at the moment. I normally love being cold (honest, gimme cold over hot anyday, at least a man can cover up and show of his extreme weather wear to the ladies and that) I like the rain as well, life feels exciting when you\'re under a good hood with 2 flasks of tomato soup on your hip.


          Mind at the minute I\'m finding it hard to get out of bed and like Jodie Marsh may kill myself at any minute! (by beating myself over the head with one of my own (?) Breasts)

          I put the blame squarely on jeff and BriH\'s shoulders.

                  Tony, people ask me at work the same thing. I just say when you get those nights and the sea is raging they think you must be cold. But with the warm gear and lots to think about, especially when you\'re searching for your next point in a match you\'re not thinking about tomorrow at work or the grief at home........ you\'re \"RELAXING\"




                  Happens to us all, if you like it you\'ll get over it, if not I\'ll watch the for sale threads.

                    Spent many an icey, wet, snowy, windy, catchless night when I\'ve been fishing, Peter...... neither the weather, nor lack of fish has ever made me feel the way I felt tonight.
                    It wasn\'t cold, it wasn\'t raining, wasn\'t windy and I\'d caught fish......lol

                    Mebbies the \"spur of the moment\" thing just didn\'t work tonight........didn\'t have time to build up the anticipation....lol

                    Perhaps I hadn\'t switched off and got to the \"relaxing\" stage.........certainly had \"lots to think about\" but it wasn\'t on what I was doing at the time - fishing.

                      Sometimes get like this but usually when I\'m fishing by myself,which isn\'t alot,I need the crack off someone to get me juices flowing. Have they caught owt recently/what have they heard being caught all the normal stuff,left to myself I usually pack up earlier than I would if I was out fishing with my mates...just a thought anyways

                        I felt a bit like that lastnight Tony fished a few places I spotted at Blyth beach at low tide,nowt but undersize codling and Whiting,walked up to the pier and everyone was coming off,all blanking,got talking to a lad and his son,his second name is Hood and his brother fishes for Seaton Sluice club,forgot his first name Darren or David,his son caught his first Codling only about 12\" long but was over the moon,nice to see someone go home happy and no doubt he\'ll be back out with his dad for a bigger one

                          Think we have all felt like that at times,we all have to recall that at the end of the day we can feel like that when we are not fishing.
                          Just the kind of mood that we can get into.
                          I am lucky i suppose,it is all still pretty new to me,so i still have the excitement of tryng new marks,tatctics, rigs etc.
                          I doub\'t that fishing would ever become easy,or too pat,but if the feeling is repeated then maybe it is time to try something new yourself.
                          Cahnge the rotinue,a off the wall daft to be here spot.
                          Who knows,at the end of the day it is a hobby,there are far more importent things in life.

                            Jeff what do you want ,the soup or breasts - one flask each ,after the soup - Ell are they the big wide ones (Flasks not Breasts ,Hmm now let me think Ha Ha :P :P )

                            and i have also wondered ,much like TC and Ell - must be something in the water - as it isnt Cod is it

                              I\'m still enjoying it as much, although when you go down to a place in perfect conditions and end up with barely a bite, it does make you wonder. But by the time it comes to the next session, I\'m desperate for my fix again and that first solid thump on your rod tip makes it all worthwhile again
