Sorry to say

[garyp]

As some will have seen I'm selling me stuff off.

Mixture of losing interest, and not getting any enjoyment from fishing anymore really.

A few times I've been out this year its seemed more of a chore than anything else, and it was getting to the point that when planning trips there was always the wind/rain/tide etc that would put a block on it.

Year or so ago I just went out when I could, didn't check tides, weather etc and had a good time, so I don't know if I was just trying to over complicate things, but anyway, whatever it is, Im not getting the "buzz" anymore

I'm sure some if not most of the people here have done or thought similar, and I'm sure that in a year or so's time I'll probably regret it.

I'll still pop in here now and then like, to see reports, and keep the mackems in check

Anyway, cheers all, tight lines

[bigfella]

All the best m8

Know what you mean about over complicating things. When you try to get everything right you tend to get out less and enjoy it less. You probably will miss it though.

 

[fishingmark]

Make sure you keep some stuff mate, you never know when you'll get the bug again and it makes it harder to get out again when you've got to run around buying gear first.

[SteveG]

Im sure the bug will come back and there will always be the joy new gear brings.

Drop me a line if u need to borrow some gear for a session as I have a spare M4GT im sure you would get away with

Cheers
Steve

 

[eddie t]

Should of just kept it mate just incase.

 

[Charlton]

would hang onto it for a while and just have a nice break and see if you miss the fishing

 

[Leej]

Listen to the lads and keep some gear mate . It'll cost you a fortune to replace it when you get back into it.and I bet you will want to start again some time

 

[regpude]

take care

[LiamNE]

Aye will miss you around the forum Gary, seemed like a top bloke from the bit I have seen from ya since joining

All the best - keep at least 1 rod and reel handy!

If you dont need the money theres no point selling it, you'll be driving a long the seafront one day, see a big dying northerly and be absolutely gutted

if you don't need the cash keep it, pack it all away somewhere, never know when you might get your mojo back!

you'll have to keep an eye on the non-fishing chat in here like, all the mackems will just pick on me now!

check in for their relegation meltdown

tightlines & good luck

 

[garyp]

Lol if it was just down to money I wouldn't have bought half the stuff I have. Lol.

 

[mick dunn]

I had a 30 year break......................................

 

[broon shoe]

Been where u are now gary " sometimes its good to have a break and pursue some other interests but believe me mate its in ya blood I think the advice some of the lads are giving u about holding gear back is sound advice .I gave it up for about 3 years but I started working with a lad who wanted to go fishing and got the bug again and found I love it even more now anyway m8 all the best and still look forward to your crack on the footy :thumbup:

 

[conoflexman]

packing up

packing up

marko will b gutted

 

[ambleangler]

Keep your gear Mate as you definately regret parting with it. I have done this three times in the past and regretted it ! Its also very costly to recoup the kit that you wish you had kept. !!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers,
