Captain's Log

 

Liaisons this past fortnight:

 

Monday - a young Sophia Loren.

 

Tuesday - a ditto Ingrid Bergman.

 

Wednesday to Saturday - a ditto Gina Lollabrigida (Sophia was still around, so we made it a threesome).

 

Sunday - Ashley Judd. Bor-ring...

 

Sunday - barely got rid of her when Kiera Knightley stopped by, wanting to party. Told her to her f*** off.

 

It went on for several more days in similar fashion.

 

NEVER AGAIN - I'm giving up!

With all the different species that are available, it would not be a bother. As stated before, I use different tactics and that makes it a challenge. To catch the same type of fish without a variation would get to be a BORE! This has not happend and I do not think that it will as long as we (the people) take care of the waterways. I enjoy the out-of-doors and that make it worth while to go out and try. When I catch fish, I know that I am doing something right and when I don't, I look for another way to get them feeding.

Paul, reminds me of the Pete and Dud sketch :D:D

"When through the woods and forest glades I wanderAnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,And hear the brook, and feel the breeze;and see the waves crash on the shore,Then sings my soul..................

Blimy, that Boote bloke likes old birds don't he!

(I'm sure a few of them are dead....)

Mind you I've been out with a few birds like that!! :D

 

I'd just change target all the time if it got boring - but fly fishers 'bag up' all the time & keep going back for more...

I definately would yes.

 

There is more to fishing than just catching the fish as far as I am concerned. It's being out in nature, enjoying the beauty of the water you are fishing on and most importantly just being there.

 

And catching fish is ACE too!!!

 

Good thread this Gaffer.

if fishing were easy,it would be called catching!i agree with steve,if they was all specimens you would get bored,it would cease to be a special fish..specimen hunting would be no more....
