I haven't even looked at my gear for the best part of a year.
I keep thinking of selling it all, but I know I'll get the bug again one day.

I only go Carp fishing nowadays, so yes, it's just that.

I last went in March of this year. Lovely day, overcast, perfect day for fishing. But after four hours I thought "what am I doing here" and packed up, came home, and haven't even looked at my gear since.
I was due to go to France for a week in May next year, but have had to cancel due to my work situation. Previous years I'd be spitting feathers, but I'm not even bothered this time.
I've not missed it at all.
I'll never sell my gear, but fishing is the furthest thing from my mind at the moment.
Can't put my finger on why though, that's the strange thing.

If no rain forecast, you can't beat a little bit of breadflake squeezed onto the line.
Very light, and easily visible.

Love being tucked up under my bivvy when it's raining, especially at night. A bit of thunder rolling around in the distance adds to the atmosphere.
Somehow find it very therapeutic.
