fishing is like camping....

[PhilZenith]

Im fairly new at this fishin lark. Ive been at it for about 18 months now.

 

I had a random thought the other day of how much you can compare it to camping.

 

The actual "camping" part isnt really the reason why you go camping on its own.. alot like fishing.. its not all about "catching the fish".

 

The prep work involved is paramount in both things. Having the right equipment, making sure it works, choosing the best sites, making sure youve got the right clothing,food and lighting.

 

I guess i need to gey myself a bivvie and start night fishing to get the best of both worlds dont i!

 

LOL

i camp and fish on the pembrokeshire coast path, and fish for carp in a bivvie u cant beat any of them its great wish i could do it perminatly but that thing called work comes in the way

For some folk it is all about camping, just ask Wordbender! Catching a fish is just a bonus.

Im off for a 48 hour session at shatterford on friday and will be putting a tent up behind my peg.

Fishing, outdoor cooking, a few beers in the evening with fishing friends and the fresh air, you cant beat it.

properly the best thing in the world even when the weathers terrable its still great

Actually, dear fellow, it's not 'all' about anything, except perhaps pleasure.

 

Gosh, how profound and that.

Profoundly deep!

Peter, camping and fishing go so well together, cannot pike fishing and camping be combined?

[PhilZenith]

BLIMEY!

 

I just checked out Shatterford's website.

 

That place looks lovely!

 

Im not so sure about the "alarms" and waking up each time you get a bite throughout the night type fishing, but i accept you get bigger specimen fish that way.

 

I do have my own 2 man dome tent that i could take with me to fish...i guess that would be ok instead of getting a bivvie wouldnt it?

That's a can of worms you don't want to open!
