Strangest thing you've seen while fishing?

what about yer man in the news this week catching a load of hash ! And he handed it in ! :shock:

About 8 years ago I caught a large Pollack from the rocks in Doolin. I caught it with a luminous green rubber sandeel. As I lifted it out of the water the line snapped and it was gone. I took a break for a few hours and later went back to the same mark. Seen the green sandeel darting around in the depths

he he

wonder what fly he got it on?

The strangest 'thing' i've seen when fishing was a Pollack i caught on board the Missy Moo, damn thing was deformed around the lower Jaw, ugly! lol..

Strangest incident would have been fly fishing a local put and take place, i had placed the rod down briefly to choose a new fly, the tip of the rod was just about dangling off the edge with about 4 foot of leader (and the old fly) still attached, i had my back turned and just heard a thump in the water before my rod started taking off on it's own, a 4lb Unstocked Brown Trout was the result, obviously it had been snooping the edge of the rushes for food. Nice.

Argh, The Put and Take, It be a Harsh Mistress. 8)

I seen elvis fishing benone strand, he didnt catch any fish either. :shock: :P :roll:


fishin the same beach a few years ago one of our members said the usual did u see that bite, we said to him to retrieve slowly and to our amazement hooked right in the middle of the bumper a wee toy tractor came sterring on its wheels up the beach mad or what we also caught a teletubbies football :oops: :oops: :D :wink:

had just arrived to start fishing a local pier and was approached by a man who said a car had just driven off the edge minutes before thinkin he was a wee bit mad kept my distance with my filleting knife in the pocket. next thing the guards come belting down the road and turns out a woman had driven in to the water. not exactly amusing but weird

also catchin seagulls and a deformed conger!

Whilst fishing a local river one night I heard a car pull up about 50 yards away. As I was a kid at the time I was on my bicycle so I had no car anywhere.

The driver and his passenger went into the trees behind me and proceeded to get jiggy with it. At the time this was great stuff as a teenager but I could see sod all!

Now is this dogging I wonder? :D
