I don't know about the rest of you but I am bored out of my mind during this lockdown. I really hate that I'm not able to fish at this time so I'm looking for something fishing related to do in order to keep my mind on it and stop the boredom. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Cheers folks

Tie rigs, change line, go through your stuff and throw away what you're never going to use. Watch videos on YouTube. Read books. Sell stuff on eBay.

I've been going through gear like mad but that's all done so order in some terminal tackle and get some rigs done up I think. Anyone else planning an extended trip when this is over?

At the moment I'm sorting out my garage,garden,and decorating my house as I'm thinking of selling it next year so now is the perfect time to get it done 👍

Will be going through the fishing gear as well and no dought will be selling some of it or throwing it away

First week of lockdown for me. Replaced some boarder logs around the edge of a lawn, sorted the garage out, just require the tip to open, cut the lawns, cleaned the car inside and out plus a double polish, cleaned the motorbike, cleaned daughters car, made some pop ups, made some hookbaits. It's Thursday I am bored ****less already, going to decorate the stairs today and tomorrow

Roll on back to some kind of normal

I have to be on with something

Serviced/respooled the reels.

Decking repainted by hand
Bedroom/bathroom decorating this weekend

Guttering next weekend

Then I'm sure HRH will give me more tasks.
Hopefully freedom soon. I've a few lakes on my list which I haven't fished before so doing research.

Chill out mate and enjoy the rest...

Don't.. I call them brownie points once I'm released into the wild I won't get the... This needs doing that needs doing.

Back hurts like buggery but those comfy nights await in my bivvy. No kid no wife no animals... Let the good times roll

Keep banking the points mate, it will be worth it in the end

Changed my plans. Today I decided to tackle the jungle called my side garden, cut a load of tree's down and into bits, do for bonfire night 🔥

I am now totally ****ed exhausted

Good luck with that one pal, my house in lancashire was due for completion at 1pm today , buyer pulled out at 12pm under guidance from his solicitor !!!! He told him he expects the housing market to crumble and he could get my house or an equivalent one for £25,000 less a week after lockdown ends !!! My house was sold for £125,000 or i thought it was !!!! It was up for a year , to say im pissed off is an understatement !!!!!!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
