Exploring my semi-retirement and hello, Dave the roach

It is an isolated situation and it doesn’t have any bearing on my plans.

Plus, I’ve been fishing and as long as I can cast a line, I’m happy.

My philosophy has always been, if I’m too busy to go fishing then I’m too busy.

Watch the accompanying video.

How’s your fishing going at the moment?

I hope your lines have been tight.

  1. Although I live in Droitwich now, my grandmother used to live in the tower blocks (posh, I thought at the time) in Stetchford during the 70’s. I remember there being a fantastic little lake opposite. I spent many an hour catching minnows, or during dark evenings, watching the night anglers’ lights from my nan’s balcony. I often wonder whether it’s still fishable…

    1. Great memories there, Jonathan.
      What I find is that when so many of us look back over the years, it’s often the minnows, sticklebacks and such that we reminisce about.
      Probably because we didn’t necessarily catch big fish anyway as children but I also think there are important lessons there.
      The best memories aren’t always about bigger and best.
      I definitely think there’s something there for a blog entry!
