The funny side of fishing

Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 9:39 am

Some time ago I ask if anything funny had ever happen to any of you. Since then I have had no replies. Come on lads don't tell me that you or your mate have'nt dropped a clanger now and again, or am I the only one to admit it?

Not personally but I creased myself laughing when a lady at Brighton Marina told me about hooking a very irate scuba diver. Don't suppose he found it too amusing though.....

i've had nothing funny happen to me while sea fishing (yet), but one time while i was spinning for pike a seagull grabbed my plug as i cast out and the bloody thing wouldn'tt let go till it got to about 10 yards from me. i had hell of a job trying to get it in as it was flying all over the place. i'm amazed it didn't hook itself.

Caught a couple of pigons mid cast in the air, thought that was funny, see my mate fall in a lake, f**king hilarious that was. Cant think of anything else.

And on a less funny note, i hooked a swan when mullet fishing, bread on the surface. My mate caught about a 5lb one, while we was unhooking it a swan swam over to see what was going on and had my bit of bread floating on the top of the water. Now that was like hooking and airplane, had to cut my line. My brother phoned up the rspca or something and let them know, we packed up pretty quick and left the scene. Not really funny as i do like animals.

my mates went out on a boat a few years ago with and 1 of them caught a huge conger about 30lb which he brought on board, but at the time on of them was in the cabin making tea so 1 of them chucked the conger in with him and locked the door, all they could hear was my mate screaming and the next thing he jumped out of the window and swam back to the pier which was about 200yds away and walked back to his car and went home, the conger was released un-harmed rolling on the floor

Love it

Once when we was all night fishing my mate had a few beers and crashed out in his tent. He woke up during the night, didnt know where the f**k he was, done an incredible hulk through his tent, ripped through the side of it completly destroying the tent and fell in the fire what was on the burn next to him. he didnt know what was going on.

And when i said my mate fell in the lake, i'll tell. (same t**t that fell in the fire) one of those ppl, used to go fishing, he just used to get pi**ed up and be a t**t.

What happened, we was fishing over a weekend on a campsite, spent the evening in the pub. Got back to our tents, he decided he needed a p**s, so goes and does his bussiness up against a tree next to the lake. Next thing i hear is "Splash" and jump out my tent to see him in the water. Well thats not the end of it, where him been pi**ed, his jumped straight in his tent soaking wet, in his sleeping bag and dozed off. I stayed up during the night fishing. Heard him wake up, well when he went to take a p**s, he never made it coz he fell in the lake. So his awake in his tent, stood up and pissed all in his tent, then crashed back out. In the morning he woke up, his tent stunk of p**s, and he blamed it on his dog who was in the tent aswell. To this day ive never told him about that, he remembers failing in the lake, and thinks that the dog pi**ed in his tent. lols.

Another time we were fishing at whitby and I told my mate not to cast near the harbour enterance. Well I might have talked to the wall, He cast straight accross the enterance to the harbour and hooked the back seat of a 22 ft speed boat leaving the harbour. Smoke poured out of the abu 7,000 so what the idiot did was to try grabbing the line and you guessed it cut his hand pretty deep. Well I took the reel to my local dealer who is a good mate of mine and asked him what kind of shite he was selling me. Well when he stripped the reel down the clutch washers fell apart they were like cabon. When he asked me what I had caught I replied a 22 ft speedboat whereupon he chased me out of his shop and repaired the reel for nowt.
