INDIANANGLER

Hi guys i am sure each one of us has gained something in ou lifes due to fishing,just mention 3 things that you have gained cause of this passion.
My 3 are
1)My wife(she loves eating fish just like any keralite and thought well here is someone who can provide fresh fish)
2)Patience
3)To fight anything all the way...just like the Ravas fighting all the way to da finish never giving up.

Lets hear it from the boys

Pain

Sleepless Nights

Pending Divorce

Good friends, a reason to be outdoors and an excuse to buy loads of gear

A blank, far away look through the week.

A permanent blister on my thumb.

Family and friends who love me for my madness.

A bad Tan
Lot of fish in the freezer
Huge creditcard bills
Lots of request from beautiful ladies to join me for fishing (mostly from my wifey's friends).

On a serious note, some best friends I ever had.

Crazy looks from my friends
... who'll never understand what it is all about
......... until they experience the thrill themselves

A good reason to live life.
Sun burns on forehead.
Personal loans.
Happiness and peace of mind.
Wonderful friends.
Priceless moments.

Learning to handle /cast baitcaster at 1 o clock on a hot sunny day(and clearing the birdsnests)
Cant pass up a tackle shop/display without buying something
Watching my son(when he was a toddler) go 'reel reel reel' and wind a reel, getting his imaginary fish in...

1. Great Friends
2. Great Stories
3. Pissed off "Mrs."

I have more than 3.

Goods:
1. Patience - To move on thinking optimistically "I will catch a big one this time"
2. Social life - Making friends with a lot of like minded people and feeling that "Hey, I am not wierd, there are a lot of others like me"
3. Dreams - Fulfilling my dream of being a fisherman
4. Appearance - Looking fitter. Walking on rocks is good exercise

Bads:
1. Impatience - Waiting for the weekends
2. Social life - Reduced interaction with a lot of regular old friends who do not fish
3. Dreams - Not being able to focus on work to the fullest (with fishes on my mind) resulting in reduced competence in job
4. Appearance - Almost permanent tan

Here is my list,

1, 2 telescopic Rod.
2, 2 Spinning Rod
3. 6 gears of different capacities.
4. some Lures, poppers and hundreds of hooks
5. Knife and accessories
6. Two nice netted bags to keep my fish and bait alive.
7. Many angling friends.
8. .....................
9. .....................
10. Last but not least, Just one Breem Till date.

1) Hullucination---- Mines bigger than the rest
2) Courage ---- to the wife : Fluff u .. im going fishing
3) Foolishness --- ref point 2 --- food from the local restaurant for a week
4) Kinkiness --- try to "do " the dog after a few beers and a week of celibacy

and most of all ...meet like minded friends who must be laughing their heads off right now thinking ... what an ass

who i know must be in the same situation ....except they must be looking to 'do "the neighbors or neighbourhood dog

To the tribe ... fish till you drop .....or hallucinate

"Do the Dog" hahahahahaaha those afternoon beers can really open you up. Yes Fred, let it all out hahahahahaahaha

Fluffing hysterical! hahahhaahhaah me sides hurt

You know Fred, he's a regular "Zoo-Tycoon"

No afternoon beers mate .. no fluffing work .. with this frigging recession .. so ... wanted to crack up the IAites and put my creative juices to work ... and by the way .. my dogs name is Lady but depending on my mood I sometimes call her Bob ..

Sun burn on face & forehands.

Restlessness.



Cheers

Right Side Fred...Right Side

the funniest thing I have ever heard

Loads of like minded fellas as friends,
and the great opportunity to access this forum.
many a times freezer full of fish.
and the wonderful experience of lying under a tamarind tree in the night listening to those night sounds (by the river side).
