I Love Fishing

I Go Sea Fishing Almost Every Day.

By: alvin521
Written on February 21st, 2010

I love going sea fishing, I live just a hundred yards from the sea in the far north of Scotland, In the summer months I can be seen out in my small boat ,rod fishing for a great variety of fish . The water where I fish is where the Atlantic flows into the North Sea. making it one of the best sea fishing area,s around the British Isles. The most common fish we catch here are Cod .Pollack, Flounders . and Mackarel in their Thousands.In the past there have been some huge Halibut, caught on rod and line , weighing up to 250lbs, These fish are now scarce and very expensive . On the days it is too rough to go out to sea , I either fish of the rocks at the end of our field ,or go down to the beach just a mile away, where I fish for Bass, Flounder  and Thornback Ray.On most days or nights, there is just me and my dog Tammy alone on the 4 mile stretch of sandy beach.It does not bother me in the least ,if I dont catch anything ,its just great to be out in the fresh ,sometimes very fresh air, and no-one else around.

    O, how I wish I could go with you and Tammy! What a wonderful way of life. A bit chilly for those of us in the Southern part of the States, but I could adapt. Have a good day fishing!!

    It's the getting away from it all that I like. I mostly lake fish and get to spend my time listening to the birds and the insects with an occasional waterfall - ah peace.

    What utter bliss! We lived at the coast for a few years when our boys were little, it was the most belssed time of our lives. I adore going fishing with the boys. I am in heaven whether I am hlding or watching over a rod, sitting on the beach with sand between my toes and running it through my fingers, or running around the sand with the birds and dogs looking on in amusement. I love being alone to contemplate, give thanks, work out the kinks in my life, or simply just be. You are so blessed. I miss the sea and the beach as though it were a family member! X@

    Used to love going out on fishing boats, don't get the opportunity now. We used to trail mackerel lines, net a variety of fish including plaice, lemon sole, crabs and squid, occasionally an eel for the cat. A great way to relax and unwind from the business of town life.

    I would love it if you could post some pictures of your boat, the beach, and your dog. You're lucky to live where you can find a place of solitude so close to home.

    You're a lucky man, Alvin! To be able to step out your door and do that any time you want. So many people have to make plans, and travel great distances to have those experiences. It sounds like a wonderful life you have :)

    I'd go every day if I lived there..or any place that could be fished.I did so when living in Florida. Get home from work, change & out the door with my gear. Took me 10 minutes. When I was little, Grandpa fished every day. The bird talked & liked to say, " Pop caught a big fish". We'd laugh at that. I love fishing. Have fun & good luck with the big ones!
