Bored off my tits

Well we've not got too much longer to wait but as the date gets closer and closer, time seems to be slowing down for me. I really should just be out fishing and passing time on but at the minute I've not got any drive at all. Everything is just wrong for me. Being a miserable git most of the time not and wanting to see other anglers on the bank, the sun is out and I just know that all the places I normally have to myself when it's cold, wet and windy will have someone casting a line. I passed a couple of spots today while out and about. A sneak peak at the water in the hope it looked good and would be free of anglers was met by the sight of people. How dare they be enjoying my waters?

I drift off in to a daydream while at work, trying to think of somewhere on my fishing list that might be worth a trip out later in the evening. My day on the job seems to be lasting a life time. I knuckle down and get some jobs done and think I've done ok but when I check the time it seems to have stood still.  More daydreaming and scheming but each spot I think of I end up talking myself out of going to as I know it really isn't worth all the effort. I sit here on an evening, flicking through the internet for something interesting to read but get bored after ten minutes. Even reading the fishing forums doesn't grab my attention just now. I've pottered around in the garden, done a few jobs but I'm that bored I really can't be bothered doing most of the stuff that needs doing. Friggin' 'ell is it Monday yet?

All this waiting, all this planning and all this thinking of fishing and I haven't got a clue what I'm doing next week. I'll be on the afternoon shift all week. I've not booked any days off, I just figured I'd go out for a few hours each morning. However I already have Monday and Tuesday interrupted so if I do get out it will have to be very early or in a couple of spells. This warm weather isn't my thing so I'm now starting to think I should be hitting the rivers with my ultra light gear. Actually that could be a good plan. I could travel light and fish some parts of the river that no one ever fishes because of tough access. Who knows what could be hiding? But it's hard to resist having a crack at the spots that haven't been touched since the back end of March. Common sense says I need to be at my favourite spots to get the fish off guard. Oh well, more day dreaming tomorrow and I'll see what I come up with. I hope you lads have got your plans sorted because I haven't got a clue what to do.

I do like pike lures though.
