Whilst fishing i do? ....

I sketch, paint watch the wildlife and the water conditions.

 

Radios, mp3's and other noise-making gadgets are, when fishing, an abomination.

I usually just sit quietly and watch the water and wildlife. Often I will feed some random sparrow or similar with maggots and watch him try to cram 6 or 7 in his beak before flying off and returning 3 minutes later for more. Failing that if i'm using baitrunners I will go and have a chat with either my brother or another angler. Just to see how they are getting on and usually steal some secrets or knowledge I also have the habit of making up a few rigs, even if im not likely to need them for a while and also make up whatever bait im using whether its a stringer of boilies or pellets for the barbel or a mesh bag of some description while still keeping one eye on my rod tips. Oh and smoke far too many cigarettes.

 

I never listen to the radio because i go fishing to leave civilisation behind. Not bring it with me. Can't abide it when you can hear the tinny echo of someones radio further down the bank. If your next to it it doesnt have to be so damn loud. But i digress.

personaly i like to watch the local kids faces when i haul in carp whilst they blank they never learn whilst they make all that racket with shouting and radios and the like the fish are all my end of the lake and the adults arent much better
