What is the point of fishing?

And the fish are really clever. And psychic as if I buy a lemon when DH goes fishing they know to stay at the bottom[fishguttinghatredemoticon]

The point of fishing? It's tp [rpve you are more clever than a fish...

I have never done fishing, but I do eat fish, so ok. The only fishing I have done was out the back of a sailboat crossing the channel, and the mackerel caught tasted very nice indeed. I don't eat meat, but would encourage anyone who does to spend some time in an abattoir (it was the horses head lying nonchalantly in the corner that put me off).

There is no point in fishing. When I was younger, I used to go with my dad and 3 uncles. The trip to Bidford or Evesham was great, a day by a river away from the soot and grime of Brum. But I was let into a secret by my seniors. Fish don't bite, between Mid day and 2pm, because the sun is too high. So after 'the break' and a couple of sandwiches, the trick was to surreptitiously keep one eye on the float, with cap tipped over eyes. This was best done, lying on the river bank, with a kreel basket propped under the head, to support the neck, whilst watching said float. Liars!

I've only been away one week ,one simple week and I really haven't a clue. And I've logged on when permitted. I repeat I haven't a clue. It's rather close to the Syrian peace talks. Obscure meandering and verging on bloodshed. Could some kind person pm me . Or I'll cry. I've just seen Carlos Acosta and the beautiful Russian in Giselle and that made me very sobby. I'm teetering on the brink.

Just noticed that there's a film showing at my cinema called 'Kiss the Water' about a lady in the Scottish Highlands that makes flies and some people think she should be recognised as an artist. I do find fishing flies quite beautiful.

Rather rude to post in a foreign language and then not share the translation with everyone, though...

Well, by the time I read this thread, and jingle's site stuff latest, I' d begun to catch on

Thank you, MiceElf I am still not all that clear about what it means but I think I shall stop puzzling about it for tonight.

I like your Ipad's image of me.

I think Elegant is rather a felicitous typo- dont you?

Elegran Sorry iPad strikes again.

Elegant, I have sent you the translation.

I quite like fishing but not phishing,

Eh?

How profound...

The north-east monsoons they can safely anchor half a league from the coast.

Is that with or without parmesan?

Failed completely to find any translation for that. I suspect you made it up as you went along.

Sigh! No wonder I couldn't find it in Google.

iPad doesn't like Italian

Yeah! My point entirely. [hmm
