Hi Derek,
The funny side of that is when I asked the wife for a large bucket and I told her I wanted to soak my landing net she suggested the bath and I gagged.VBG I have CFS ( Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ) which effectively means that the brain messaging systems is totally stuffed. Basically it is being told that I have run a marathon using my arms when all I have really done is think about standing up. It is a strange and stupid illness that the doctors know very little about so most times it is a case of FOALWI ( the last bit is And Live With It, I am sure you can work out the first part VBG ). Prior to getting it I was a work-a-holic and had run my own systems IT business, now I am a useless house husband who dotes on his grandchildren and goes fishing when he can Basically I have to do things when the body allows, bit like marriage but this way it is my body that is telling me to sod off and sit down. No physio for me, if I am going to have to suffer the pain of exerting myself then it has to have some real gain like fishing or a good woman ( well bad woman then ). Had it for nearly 20 years and known what it was for 15 so I have it in hand about as best as I can hence the new fishing trips. Any physical or mental exercise causes a relapse of sorts and that means muscle pain at high levels. Being an angler you know as well as I do that excessive pain against a fishing trip means we suffer but enjoy a day by water trying to catch fish, If anglers did not understand that then none of them would get married.VBG Wish me luck tomorrow as I turn 52 and will spend it fishing for the first time in my later life. Notice how the original Subject line also fits my illness as well as bream tail walking.(;-) -- Gandalf "Derek Moody" wrote in message ...

Many thanks Midnight, I am guessing you are a younger man and firing blanks
could have more than one meaning.Sometimes I wish I had been.VBG Total washout, after fighting to this swim I had only seen from the other side of the lake I found out it was over grown with trees on the sides and above. I lost two hooks before I even got a bait in the water and the swim was an even 3 foot deep in all the places I could cast using a 12 foot match rod. After an hour I moved but the swim that was second choice would have meant fishing in close as a swim on the adjacent bank was occupied so it would be unfair to cramp his style with many swims open so I went round the corner and only had a few small roach, gudgeon and bream. The "no blank" record holds good though. The guy who had the swim I left free had an 18.5 lb carp and I was so damn pleased for him. Even so it was nice quiet day out. -- Gandalf "The Midnight Rider" wrote in message ... All the best for '52' gandalf old boy, and hope you get a good session for the day.

Well, made up for the blank today, a nice 11lb'er on tens elastic and 3lb
line, through the weeds and onward, but i refused to give in and landed it (after about 10 mins or so). All in all a nice day. Hope your luck was equal. "Gandalf" wrote in message ...

Well done Midnight, the whole thing you describe is what both fascinates me
and scares me about pole fishing. I had that short spell of whip fishing a few weeks ago and it was enjoyable for small fish but if I had hit anything with some real fight I would have had adrenaline pouring out my ears I think which is not a bad thing other than it seeming to give the fish a greater than 50/50 chance with little advantage to the angler. Might be I am just old fashioned I guess. My next trip is Wednesday and I am taking the wife for her bi-annual trip but not too sure how long she will last as it is supposed to be wet and cold. -- Gandalf "The Midnight Rider" wrote in message ...

Good luck with the wife, i know how hard it is to please them, but when the
weather is bad too, oh boy. heehee. Bi-annual? you only take her out twice a year? sounds a perfect wife to me. Any chance she could train mine for me? hehe. Have a good one.

Basically it is being told that Ah one of those it-hurts-when-you-do-it-but-if-you-don't-it'll-hurt-more things iIuic :-( And then some but the choice is to be bed bound for msot of the time and that just is not me.

Sportsmen and musicians, for eg., are going to go on using the muscles/joints they damaged so seek advice on how to do so with minimum impact. Used to be a motorcycling rugby player, not at the same time of course although that would have been interesting, so I alerady had a few stretching and limbering up exercises to keep things moving as they also tend to cramp up when I do exercise. The other down side to limited acticvity is weight gain and I was never a small framed person. Add the CFS the extra weight and laready damnged joints from rugby and motocycling and I am very much a hobbling wreck but I keep smiling and joking and fishing. It has been said that with my attitude I will fight them when they nail the coffin lid down. Morelike I am jsut too damn stupid to know when to give in.VBG Had it for nearly 20 years and known what it was for 15 so I have it in hand Urgh.

Thank you kind sir. You will see the results of todays fishing in the other post, not worth rushing though.(;-) Gandalf |
