Scratchie Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi raiders, the topic says it all. For someone like me that is blessed to be able to fish at least twice a week, I'm having withdrawals. Anyone else feel the same?? Cheers scratchie!!!

SargeRX8 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Over the past 2 years at work, Ive finally accumulated time off. Started Jan first and I return next Tuesday. Of this time I spent about 7 - 10 days fishing, thanks to either high wind, searing heat or this rain. I am quite pissed off. This weekend I would have loved to fish some but doesn't look good. Of course the weather forecast for next week is sunny with 28 - 30c days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't the weather, the wife harassing me about how this should be family time, or mates that let you down, it would be so much better..........should have stayed at work.

Ilovefishingdamnit Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm in the same boat. It seems like every opportunity I get to fish, the weather decides to rear the uglier portion of it's head. Nothing's worse than a gruelling work at week, desperately looking forward to getting out, then the pitter patter of rain when you wake up on your day off .

Guest hawkesbass Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 With the wind I look for areas that will block out the wind.buildings and wharfs are good for this in the boat I look for high cliffs to hide in behind for protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelguyau Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I don't mind the rain or swell............ But throw in the shitty wind to make the trio..........welcome to Feb. I am heading out tomorrow wide so let's see- Reels are just begging to be turned, I can hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargeRX8 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) I went out yesterday, land based, for a fish. Thanks to the rain the past few days, the mosquitoes were out in ****** SWARMS. No amount of mosquito repellent did anything. Ive got about 10 bites on each hand, 7 on my right elbow, 4 on my left, 5 on my back, 7 on my ass, 4 on my right thigh, 3 on each ankle, 5 on my face. I was wearing pants and a shirt and a hoodie. They were keen, persistent little ****ers. My cousin who was with me had about 10 on the back of his head and a mix everywhere else.

Happened to me a few weeks back at Cronulla. The second the sun went down it was on. I always wear long sleeves and pants these days around sunset time. I also got bitten by blood sucking flies at the Royal National park and boy do they itch... Worst itch ever, I still have the tell-tale signs of fly bites and its been a month... Woke up almost every night for the first 2 weeks scratching like a madman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, but the long range forecast says its no good on the 20th. Lol Just had a look at the forecast for the next week - wind until Sunday, then rain until Tuesday. What is happening in Oz? But for Batemans Bay they are only predicting showers - so get into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
