I've been fishing, on and off since I first visited the Norfolk broads aged 7 (now 38). During that time I've had periods of "lay off" where I just couldn't be bothered to get up and go. My interest has never waivered, I still managed a few sessions every season, bought the weeklies and discovered this site through buying Coarse fisherman mag whilst going through an "unmotivated patch", It's probably what kick started me back on the banks proper, although I'm still not 100% as keen as I used to be (sat here typing instead of fishing) I know I'm not far from it ie.
In from work, no tea, pick up gear and out til' the gates were locked, even got locked in once and our lass thought the worst when I returned the next morning.
All weekend every weekend, every night after work, did I have burn out, did the commitment I put into my fishing become too much? Who knows! but I can feel that urge returning strongly, I've been though it many times before, distracted by other things, Girls at one stage, then nightclubs, then the arrival of kids. The latest was taking up carpet bowls during the winter, this lead to outdoor in the summer and bowling for a team most nights a week and club competions on weekends, no time for fishing then! Open day on the green today as it happens.
This year is going to see me on the banks more often (and probably in a bedsit).
Does anybody else have the same sort of scenario or are you all "up and at it" every chance you get?
