Losing the will to fish

[BaggieRich]

I know what you mean mate. Ping's been away for a couple of weeks now (Anyone else noticed the site traffic drop by several hundred percent?) and I must admit to having had a bit of a drop in motivation to go and fish. For some reason it's not quite the same without someone taking the piss mercilessly about something or other.

Mind you my liver has really enjoyed the rest, and I've got a fair amount of brownie points in the bank as well, so it must be near time to sort the tackle out again.

So yeah, it happens mate, but you've just got to get out there. £10 says that the next good fish will re-ignite the flame in a big way.

So in the words of my old Nan, "Sort yerself out yer big jessie"

On the other hand why bother? you'll only lose valuable tackle and blank. Or Your only going to catch the same old rubbish anyway.When you get back home theres all that cleaning of reels etc. And for what, nothing thats what. Better to stop at home and put up those shelves, or decorate that room. Lets face it whats the excitement in fishing, hauling out of its natural habitat some inoffensive little creature whos never done you any harm.
The only time you should go near cliffs from now on is to jump off one and end all the misery.

Been there a few times meself mate, had a little spell last winter so tried a bit of spinning and plugging for pike and perch. Just to make a change and do summit different.
Soon got back into it after a trip up to the Bristol Channel.

ive been like that ;ately for some reason.

aswell is whats getting on my nerves is that my local mullet-spot (half moon) torquay is currently having work done on it but my uncle mario said that there is a way to get on the half moon which i dont know coz its all fenced off so i dunno really getting on my nerves also i might go princess pier and fish the harbour side and see if i can get anything so that would be cool if there were a few mullet in-between the boats.

im gonna upload some pics of my fishing in a min so be sure to look

Thankyou
