retiring from fishing

i think about packing in every time i blank been thinking about it 45 years now and hope thats all i do . stick at it son . jamcod
 
just give it a break for a while or only fish when you have best bait ,right tides conditions ,good sea .try planning out a trip that your gonna enjoy with lads :) then it don,t matter if you catch just enjoy the craic ;)
 
99% of why I go fishing is to just get out of the house and clear my head after a sh@ day cooped up in an office

I don't fish as often as some but I still try and get out out at least once a week to blow the cobwebs away

Mebbes take a break from it - doesn't have to be a long break either...I've not been out for a couple of weeks for one reason or another and I'm raring to get back out :)

Keep your tackle!!!!

Keep your tackle!!!!

:)Hello fishers!, have a rest, defo hang onto your tackle m8!, i gave up over 25yrs ago( work, family etc), got back in last April, best thing i've done for yrs!!!!, keeps me sane, well sort of!, I've done alright with over 80 fish landed, majority returned:D, take it easy for now, maybe have a bit fun mackie bashing in the summer eh! best advice i can give "Hang in there Bud!!!";)
 
I,ve sort of let fishing take over my whole time off at the moment. When i used to go to the gym a lot. I,m going to try and get the balance right again and started today. Was going to go to Seaham fishing but hit some wieghts instead.
Suppose the moral is doing to much does pee you off.Especially when it is hard going.
Defo would not sell up the gear-you will regret it.
I was rewarded last night with a cod just under 4lb. Not my first doubler but that fish felt like a million dollars after loads of recent disappointments.

thinking of retiring from fishing hobby as i think fishing isnt as good as it used to be and may be i have lost my passion for it. what is you other nesa members thoughts on this. am i doing the right thing or been to hasty.

Hang onto your gear mate. Ever thought about trying over on the Mull of Galloway???? I spend most of the summer over there in our Drummore caravan. I hardly ever blank (unless I am bass fishing LOL) over there as the fishing is that good compared to this coast. Its not that I am a great fisherman,just know the marks that produce having fished the area for years.

If you do decide to come over drop me a PM and I will take you out if you want. June to September being the best months.

Thats a offer most people would snap up in a second.... I only caught 1 wrass when I went but I'll tell you this now, if you like fishing for more than just catching as in the nature and untouched raw-ness of it, that place is the peak.

Alot easier to get round than St Abbs aswell... honestly I almost popped my knee out falling down some rocks like but its breath taking.... floating for wrass and pollock with the scenery is perfection.

Even try craster if your alright walking for 30minutes to and though the castle. sometimes its a bit of a mess from the mackie bashers (messy bar stuards) but sitting there with the sun coming down and Dolphins etc is cracking mate.

I love my winter fishing but summer fishing with sun, sea and the scenery always makes me refreshed.

Will give anyone a bit advice/direction if they are a bit unsure how to go on over on the MOG.

Our caravan is no5 on the Clashwhannon site. The kettle is always on,any NESA chaps more than welcome to call in for a bit blether.
