Have you ever forgotten ..........

[Paul Whiteing]

Arrived for an evening session and bu##er, no seat. Have forgotten rods, bait, landing net over the years but never a seat.

Making do with an upturned Sainsburys box, but not sure how long I'll last with my back.

Was it because I had to shift van, take car to pick up g'daughter from school, move van back, start to pack van, chat to builder over the road about fishing, finish packing.

OR just a senior moment?

 

[Graham Elliott]

Senior moment my bet

 

[Stephen Crowhurst]

I often sit on my bait bucket, one less thing to carry when stalking.

 

[Cliff Turner]

I think we've all done it, I know I have ! Worse one was forgot my bait !

 

[Dave Collins]

Paul
One of these and a pump won't take up much room in your bag

Left my landing net at home so had to fish the next swim to my mate , had my PB 15.7

 

[Jon Frisby]

Forgot the seat a few times... the mat has always been comfy though.

 

[Mark Swaby]

Spent an hour driving down the Kennet about 10 years ago to find no rods in the van on arrival,fed my swims and came home. A few months later i went to the Bath road section of the Colne on a mid Febuary warm wet evening without a chair.Three lowers of the bait and 3 doubles in less than an hour standing like a Heron,,packed up and came home,i should do it more often.

 

[Stuart Brookes]

Forgot my wellies when I went fishing one snowy January night after work. Managed with a pair of trainers

 

[Paul Whiteing]

Box suprisingly comfy, except shiny so keep sliding and crushing the jewels.

No PB so far

 

[Dave Quinn]

Drove an hour and a half in the dark to be at Blenheim Palace for first knockings to fish off a punt on my own for tench. Opened the car and realized I’d somehow left my reels at home. A very expensive day for nothing

Whilst its not freshwater fishing, it is er, pertinent.......a group of us once had a few days on Loch Etive, Wellies were a must as we had to wade out to the hire boats, we were getting ready on the first morning when one chap was sounding out the benefits of his Le Chamou ( not sure of the spelling ) Wellies, they looked very nice .He had bought pairs for both his wife and himself, he sat on the tailgate of his 4 wd, and discovered he had packed his right foot wellie, and his wifes left foot wellie, he was size ten, she was size six.

I suppose he had to hop to it

Ooops, but at least he had another pair like that at home

 

[Steve Roffey]

Forgot my landing net head once on a flooded Severn, found a swim where the grass sloped gentlyto the water's edge and managed 2 8lb'ers by 'beaching' them on to the grass!

 

[Paul Collins]

I once forgot to put 3 pints of maggots in a tub in the car before driving 70 miles to the Kennet.
Just as well they were still sitting on the roof when I got there

 

[Mark Anderson]

Forgot to take her, or forgot to bring her home?

I once drove the 95 Miles from Spurn Point home, along the M62 and Country lanes, when I got home I saw that I had left my glasses on the roof of the car, they had somehow got hooked around the roof bars, they were a pair of Porche reading glasses and had been a present, £350 quidsworth.

I never told SWMBO, the next week I lost them in Skipton. No idea where or how.

I very rarely use any sort of seat. I've forgotten everything else though!
