I hate fishing...........it's got to be the least worthwhile hobby known to man!

[ziggy]

I've just taken up fishing again it has got to be one of the most relaxing sports i know.

Fishing is not really for me - maybe when I'm older lol. Isn't it one of the most popular hobbies going? Thought I'd heard that somewhere.

I just wonder why you need so much kit to catch tiddlers in the canal

[Mattylad]

It's a £6Billion buisness, the most popular pastime being taken up these days.

Although you can fish with little tackle your abilities to change tactice to suit the venue & conditions are more limited.

Current Carp fishing does apepar to require lots of additional gear such as tent, bed, telly, etc but only because it can take several hours - even days to persuade a big carp to take your nice big baits, but once it does it would seem that the wait is worth it.

Although it is mainly the domain of men young & old these days there are more & more women getting into it & finding how relaxing it is to be sat bankside instead of ironing (where they should be) :)

Sea fishing

[Mattylad]

Yes, I see them fishing every time I go lol

[Darkstar]

Fishing is an excellent pastime, I have fished for carp, pike, tench in fact if it swims i'd have a go at it. Unfortunately i can't go fishing much now due to time and disability, and i have about £1500 worth of tackle for sale . Too much to list, so if anybody wants bivvies, bedchairs rods reels end tackle etc, pm me and i'll see if i have what you want.
I would advise anybody who suffers stress to take up angling, it is so restful and peaceful. It gives one time to think.

I go coarse fishing a few times a week on Burnley canal its teaming with fish. i fish the pole or the whip. Roach Perch Bream. and dead bait for PIKE its full of them! and like you say it gets you out of the house for a few hours!

It must be a nice hobby Brian , one you can switch off to!if im walking that way with my man we will look out for you!

[Mattylad]

I don't go on the canal much, usually too much dog poo on the bank - lol

Mind you, last time I wnt I did catch a pike, must have another go now t's getting colder.

I managed to go fishing today, at Cornfield Farm fishery off padiham road.

For a fiver it's a good little place & it's getting bigger & better, makes a change for me to be able to catch something... lol
