I play snooker every week in a local league so when I can't go fishing it helps my snooker as I'll probably get out 2 or 3 times to practice.
Also if I can't get out fishing due to the weather there is a high chance I'll end up buying something fishing related as some sort of compensation

I think that's why I've sold and bought so much on here. A psychiatrist would probably understand.

I go coarse fishing or sulk at home and defend Brexit on facebook, not that it does me any good.

 

[Tatunkajoe]

Work when I can’t fish that gives me more options to fish when I want to so if I work a Sunday i can then go fishing on a Friday arftanoon orso play football on Saturday but if I’m fishing a match fishing comes first .

I'm off work today but I'm on call so can't go fishing. So I'm spending the afternoon tying some flies and chilling on the couch before the children get home from there grans house.

No mate I'm not emergency services. I've not been out for 4 weeks nearly due to work. But I've done all my on call shifts till February in the last month so as of next weekend the coddies are feked lol.

 

[thabassmaster]

Fill your boots bud.
I mean your freezer ha.

 

[NIrishDane]

When I'm not fishing I am either mincing about on here being nosey or looking at fishing tackle I can't afford online. Playing video games or playing with/walking the dog. Sometimes go to the bar to watch the footy and have a few pints, but not if im going fishing the next day as I like a fresh head so I enjoy it more.

I have never really had any kind of frustration from not being able to fish because there are very few reasons why you can't. Gale force winds, poring rain etc doesn't mean the fish have all hidden away in a safety shelter somewhere. I suppose growing up on the IOW taught me there's always one side of the island that has some kind of protection, onshore winds on one side of the island meant offshore the other side. I actually prefer wild weather over calm conditions to fish.

Today the winds are 30knots making the offshore scene a no go for me, so now I'm deciding whatriver system to tow my boat to.

When I feel fished out I seem to be able to waste hours tinkering on my boat, yesterday I decided to fit hydrolic steering in my boat. Today I should clear all the mess I left behind after fitting the steering but I the idea of exploring a new location in these windy conditions is winning over.

I seem to find very little time to be able to do home maintenance, boating and fishing takes priority. I must admit the fishing takes second place to the exploring and general nature discovering while out on the boat.

Come on everyone say Awww and feel sorry for JonD.. Life is so tuff down under. :stirpot:

 

[Bronzhaii]

Like JonD, poor weather is rarely a concern here to stop fishing. On the few occasions that the sea really does get up rough and all the sea gulls take up residence in town, I'll do all the maintenance to fishing tackle and cut up old traces to salvage the best components, and perhaps make new traces. It is really only big ocean swell that stops us fishing, rain is a thing of the past, and a distant memory …………. :BigGrin:

If it really gets bad, I'll go in the workshop and design a new rod or something.

Mate, I towed the boat up the coast to a new location, never got a touch. Didn't even see a fish on the sounder, wildlife was non existent too, always good being out on the boat though.

That's rather worrying Jon.....

Do you live near a nuclear power station or test facility???? Might be an experiment gone wrong ….

 

[Malks]

I kayak fish, but the weather has been shocking all year, even when the sun shone the wind howled unless you got up pre-dawn and fished the first few hours of daylight, but living in Scotland that means setting off at sunset.

So in desperation I dusted off the beach gear last week after about a 10 year lay off! Conditions were good but unfortunately I only got a few rattles, probably small pollack or immature codling, but now I`m thinking its better than sitting around grumping and waiting for calm conditions. So I now have a new multi, loads of bait and a whole load of pulley rigs set up awaiting tomorrow evenings tide and (slight) drop in wind.
