Today the weather is pretty naff, and I can't get a lift anywhere. So am stuck wondering what to do. It's my day off and there's naff all on telly, the other day I cleaned, sorted and tidied all my fishing tackle for the year, so what to do that's fishing related?

 

What do you do when you cant go fishing?

 

Anyone got any good blogs to read? Videos? Articles? Something to do?

 

I hate to say the B word but i'm a bit bor.........

As famous fisherman John Gierach once said "I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it's the one thing I can think of that probably doesn't."

It's spring, get your seeds sewn.

Change the beds, catch up on the laundry/ironing, clean the oven, paint the kitchen ceiling, write to the friends and relatives who you havn't contacted for ages. Pickle some eggs or onions, make some jam, do your hair and nails, go through your things and give to charity anything you havn't worn over tha last year, or put some of it including your bits of tackle that you know you will never use on ebay. Makin your own tackle is very satisfying. Start on one of the books in your 'to read list' (if you havn't got one, get one). ..lots to do, simples ;):)

Bet you can't wait to do your hair and nails though, eh? :P

 

You could check a few updates on my blog if you're really bored? Even started a BF3 guide if you're into that sort of thing.

 

I generally resort to the PS3 when I have 'off' days. Believe it or not, I have days when I just don't fancy fishing even though I could. I think of it as fuse that pops to make sure it doesn't become 'too much of a good thing' to me.

Emma.

I always try to sew my seeds at any time of year. I am always willing to do my hair and nails if needed. And my tackle on E-bay would have to have a big reserve on it with bidders contact me first and pick up only!

 

I am bringing the post down to bottom levels...Sorry just a habit! :rolleyes:
