Gone Fishin'

[John Fenna]

I went out Thurs morning and tried a bit of fishing from the rocks on the coast near us ... 2.5 hours - 1 fish!
People do this for fun?
I am not even keen on fish (anything that fornicates and defecates in the same place it eats is not my idea of fine food...) so my wife had the mackerel for lunch .. I had cheese!










I could have gone to the fish merchant and bought several fish, fresh off the boat, gutted, filleted and ready to cook for what this cost me in time and effort ... but my wife appreciated it .. so I guess it was worth while really ....

I bet you thoroughly enjoyed yourself John, sat nicely relaxed watching the birds, sky etc

So as that's the case you can provide fresh fish for one nights meal at Dingly Dell

It was hot and muggy - nowhere to sit that was not sharp or wet, the sky was overcast and threatening rain - the only birds were Herring Gulls that were looking at me like I was -
A/. A meal in waiting
B/. Stupid
C/. Both the above
You want Fresh Fish? - go find the local MacFisheries!

Maybe take a chair on a sunny day next time?

(I have no advice for the gulls)

Cheers,

Next time?!
You jest Sir!

Next time?!
You jest Sir!

You're not fooling us John.

You'll go fishing again just to put a smile on your beloveds face

 

[shaggystu]

I can't help but wonder if you'd have had more success with this:

 

[John Fenna]

Pink fish!
Beloved faces?

All I can say is "Sling your OWN hooks"!

That's a good fish and lovely eating. There are fisherman who would consider one fish in a day, a good day.

That's why it's called "fishing" and not "catching"

Joking aside, your hobo kit looks interesting John.

You care to share a few more pics of its contents etc?

Just about to say the same thing. Looks like a police evidence tube they use for sharps.

 

[swotty]

What knife is that that you've used for filleting John? I like the look of it, is it a Condor?

Aye - failures!

I actually busted the tube while using it ... got it at the Moot a couple of years ago ...
Camera charging at the mo but I will get more photos up soon

Well at least you caught a fish; but why didn't you post a picture of it? Instead of just the pix of the bait?

You've done considerably better with your hobo fishing set than I have with my proper rod and real. All I've done is make tackle sacrifices to the goddess of the sea... There are spinners of mine sitting on the bottom off the cost of Kent and Devon

I just hope that if I make enough sacrificial tackle offerings eventually I'll be rewarded with dinner...

I would be interested to see a picture of the contents of your kit.
