Awe Struck...

I was looking at Donaghadee Pier tonight, Getting hammered by that Northerly wind and an absolutely Beautiful Swell, and I was thinking, 'I Should be down there!'... I said it to one of my mates who proceeded to call me a 'Mental B******d'.... and started questioning my sanity...

Does anyone else have this problem with non Angling friends? :shock:

All the time :roll:

Very much so.

My work colleagues think I am mental :lol:

GG

Youre not alone K2 m8 , i was driving home tonight and thought the exact same thing .

Andy :wink:

Get that alot alright! Middle of a freezing winter night with a force 6 artic northerly...where else would you be but on the shore!

I get a few funny looks from non-anglers for describing conditions as 'grand for a chuck' - conditions where polar bears nicking your bait are a distinct possibility.

I suppose if I mentioned that I'd be buried in a flotation suit, wooly face, neoprene gloves, boots etc they might understand. Oh, and I just bought a beach buddy off ebay. Shore angling is largely a waiting game, and I intend to wait in comfort....

i dont blame my mates for sayin things like that, cos some days when im standin at the shore or on the boat i think im bloody mental as well!

I can't see the insanity in it at all...

Indeed, nature, a great thing! the great outdoors etc.. :? :lol:

Need to get fishing Livid mate!

Soon! :shock:

do i detect a slight madness in these replies my wife says I lost the plot years ago :shock:
