who is going to be sick ?

[trev (100M bronze)]

I know I will, its a strange mysterious illness that occurs evey June. Some of my employers knew what I was doing but never said owt.

Will you be man enough to go sick?

 

[Ray Daywalker Clarke]

I am sick thinking about it, have been since midnight March 14th./forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

I'mquitting my job at 0700 on the 16th, so its a late start but at least I'll be out on the banks. Can't wait - sure as hell won't be going sick!

 

[The bad one]

Trev I don't think you will be going sick as you've just told the universe and your boss.

 

[Fin the Fish]

I'll only be sick if I dont get a bite! /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

As much as I love my river fishing I'll not be out on June 16th as to be honest my local rivers are not up to much until nearly the end of the Summer.

The only exception being a syndicate stretch of the Hampshire Avon where the Chub are very obliging in the early season, and the Dace at Downton.

I might have a couple of lake sessions but typically I wait until late August before hanging up my fly rods and returning to the coarse fishing.

One of the few joys of being a freelance consultant is that you don't need to 'pull a sicky' you simply take a 'personal' day and go fishing.

That's one of the few benefits of being an old codger, you no longer need sickies. You get out as often as you like, when you like. That's if the old bones will take it. Ron and I will be going out this morning for a few hours, propping each other up like book ends. Too old to change now. /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

You only have a boss if you have a job ! It highly likely that by the 16th I will be redundant anyway.....

Loads of time to go fishing then

 

[Graham Whatmore]

I haven't made a point of going out on the 16th for a number of years now but I am always thinking to myself after the magic date 'now the season has started I'll get on the river,' it is an option when the river is right but not imperative.

Years ago when we had a full closed season the 16th was traditionally a tench fishing day but we can do that any day now and the rivers aren't usually in good fettle at this time of the year so why the need to sneak a day off? (says he, retired and time on his hands hehehe!)

 

[CatmanDan (emmo Jnr)]

You wouldn`t catch me on a river

 

[Sean Meeghan]

I've explained the importance of 16th June to the boss and he's allowing me to take the day off.

 

[Fin the Fish]

Sean are you self employed by any chance?/forum/smilies/tongue_out_smiley.gif

 

[paraman the pre-hospital care qualified blanker]

16th June booked off as annual leave for the next several years, so will be out on the river, with very little expectation of catching anything I might add!/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

 

[Nigel Connor(ACA ,SAA)]

Week off between jobsso will be certainly out but afteran early mullet in Christchurch Harbour which only opens to "course" type baits on the 16th.

 

[Graham Whatmore]

Good old Nigel, you never give up do you, its about time they gave you a free boat to save your weary legs mate (only way you will get me down there again, oooh! the pain).

Why is fishing in the sea governed by freshwater closed season rules Nigel and who enforces them?

 

[Sean Meeghan]

No Fin, but I am the boss! /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

 

[Julian Parkin 2]

I had sorted it so that I move house on the 14th, furniture arrives at new house in Hampshire on 15th and I get the 16th on the kennet and finish unpacking on the 17th.

Now my dad is coming down from Yorkshire on the 15th to "help out" and is going home on the evening of the 16th.

Pig sick!!! Unless.... I get everything sorted and go the 17th (Won't be the same though)!
