PI##ING IN, NO,FISHING IN THE WIND

You know the fishing is getting the better of you when?……….

Last night during that hooligan force south westerly and hissing rain, I decided to go fishing for a couple of hours. I had a bit of worm left over from Saturday night and some slip limpits in the freezer.(fatal saving bait, It makes you do silly things!)
I went to southfalls road, as I got out of the car I could hear the waves pounding the sea wall, It sounded awesome, Just like a proper storm beach venue!( with this delusion, I got excited and thought “ IT’S GONNA HAVE IT”)
I started fishing at about 10.30pm managing to punch a cast 40/50yds into the howling wind, although looking a the amount of line the wind had taken off the reel, you’d have thought I’d hit Kent.
Before I’d finished setting the rod it was rattling good and hard with a bite, so I reeled in to find a double shot of 12” codling. Recast codling, recast codling, spent 10mins trying to light a fag, recast codling.
In the second hour of my fishing the wind strengthened further still, and with the salad piling up the line it became impossible to fish, plus I thought that I had experienced Un godly creatures ( plastic cup at a hundred miles an hour galloping along the sea wall and you can’t see it in your headlight, FRIT THE LIFE OUT OF ME!!!!) 8O
I packed up and went home wondering? 1.what is out there in this sh##? 2. what would the ebb fish like? 3. What the F### am I doing out in this sh##???????????????
Still you’ve gotta have a go? (Your thinking, Idiot!, I know. ) :lol:

Til next time then,(If I survive?) :roll:

I have done the same just twice in the past - must have been bonkers. Anyway, no more bonkers for me - I decided two years ago that this sport is supposed to be fun (for me anyway). So this is roughly what happens these days: Sean rings up "Want to go fishing mate?" - " No it is too effing windy!"
Sean: " It ain't too bad here (he is 4 miles inland), I reckon it will be alright." - "Listen mate, I am looking at a tree down the road which is being well bent." (I live 3/4 mile from the beach). "But we ain't been out for nearly two weeks." "Oh alright then we will go for an hour or two" (What am I thinking,arrrgh!).
We get down the beach, it is doing force 6 or 7 straight in our faces and the sea starts chucking every cast we make straight back up the beach. After an hour and a half, we have had enough. "Sean, do NOT NOT NOT ask me to go fishing in these conditions again! - You may be bonkers but I am not!" ........ until the next time that is (LOL)
