The Rhythm Of Life - Ramblings From a Bass Fishing Enthusiast

I am always looking for people to Partner with the fishing-blog and impart their opinion, words or thoughts on Sea Fishing. This person did just that.

By the end of the summer you have worked yourself into a well-worn
routine. There is bait in the freezer from the frantic shoals of high
summer mackerel. The rods are ready in the same place that you have
left them in the shed. Your tackle bag or rucksack is also handily
placed but more importantly ready with all the stuff you need for a
quick session.

You check the tide times, refer to the weather forecast one more time
and then leave. Earlier in the year especially at the beginning I am
searching everywhere for all the equipment I need – and I travel
light! How it all manages to disperse itself around the shed is beyond
me. It’s probably those late autumn roach trips that make me borrow
from every tackle bag that is the problem.

I arrive at the venue and park on my usual corner. The rods and the
bag are thrown over the shoulder with the well practised ease and
knowledge that however far I walk they are in the most comfortable
position possible. I soon arrive at my mark and set-up a simple
running ledger. Everything is where it should be and falls easily to
hand. Today even the knots seem to have fallen into the easy routine
for everyone tightened and bedded down with ease with no need to cut
and re-tie.

The head of a small mackerel is cast into the gathering tide and the
rod, held in my hand gently nods in time with the rhythm of life
The gentle rhythm

… for those who made it this far; you’ve guessed it, another
blank session.
