The mysteries of fishing

[DonRamos]

Whilst fishing a nice evening session with a friend last night, we discussed the mysteries of fishing.

 

Not what you might think though. These myseteries were such as

 

1) How does that little loop of line come off your reel and attach round the top of the spool whilst you are fishing?

 

2) Why do you sometimes cast out with 1 maggot on the hook and reel back in to find two on there?

 

3) Why is the best way to encourage fish to bite to either take a bite of your sandwich/drink some tea/have a cigarette.

 

Anybody got any other fishing mysteries, or any answers to mine.

how come you dont get a bite for hours but the minute u put the rod down its gets dragged in to the lake by a massive fish.

The minute the fish start feeding, then some slack jawed moron with a large dog come up and stands behind you asking have you caught anything!

1.How carp miss freebie mixers off the top sometimes.

It's not really a mystery, just makes em look daft.

 

2.When you go for a whizz, why does the bite alarm go into overload?

You glance away from your float for a second, maybe to admire a kingfisher, or watch a grass snake swim past, or even sneeze, you look back towards your float as it majestically resurfaces in a manner not dissimilar to a one finger salute!! :mad: :mad:

how come the line raps round your rod about 10 times in about a second. then wen you bring it back its fine but when your ship back out again its rapped round again!! :mad:

If the waters fishing bad people always say " should of been here yesterday or last week"

[Andy Macfarlane]

1: Why is that when fishing in 100+ acres of near desolate water, Dogs insist in jumping in exactly where you happen to be fishing?

 

2: Why is it only Women that cannot control such idiotic Dogs?

 

3: Do fish know when you are packing up to go home? It's always the last rod in the water that gets a bite.

 

4: Why is it that the know-all who owns everything made by Fox or Greys, professes to have caught "some great fish from this bit", always "advises" you to use a better rig, NEVER actually catches anything and puts your own giant bag of fish down to pure luck?

 

5: Why do passers by always say "Are there fish in there?" or "You didn't catch that in there did you?" or "I don't think there are fish in there".

 

6: Why is that piece of tackle you left in the house "because I won't need it" the first thing you actually need when you get to your fishing spot. Dammit!!

 

7: Why do some anglers who claim to have caught dozens of doubles say "What do you reckon that weighs...about 12Lb?", when you land a Jack that clearly weighs less than 6Lb? Funny how they never have scales or photographs either. Lying b*****s.

 

I,m sure theres more I could mention. I,m just tired.

Too true mate, too true.

Why is it that when fishing in the most shallow part of the lake you have someone trying to get a boat through scaring all the fish away and then saying sorry while you reel your line in with disbelief.
