's OK. A good long soak is almost as good. No need to put it in the washing
machine, soak it in the bath for 48 hours instead.

Er,

Just don't give her my name - OK?

I've used this method for cleaning nets before a loooong (2 days in a hot
car) trip to distant waters when the pong might have built up to commentable
levels.

Failed to go fishing today, had a minor relapse with the illness so I am
hoping I am fit and able tomorrow.

Funny. Others have to contract an 'illness' to get time to go during the
week...

If you're having physiotherapy ask for a subsiduary referral to a sports
specialist who will be a little surprised to be consulted by an angler but
who will be able to work out the best way for you to distribute forces.

Cheerio,

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.(;-)

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.

Hi Derek,

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.

Hi Derek,

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.

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.

Sportsmen and musicians, for eg., are going to go on using the

You're spending it fishing, that's pretty good luck already. Many happy

Perhaps all usenet posts should have the subject line 'Wandering thread'

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

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