What's your non-fishing addiction?

Saw a similar thread on an eastern states forum and though it was quite interesting.

I'll start it off with the admission that....

Any other hobbies that exist

Fri, 2009-07-10 19:39

Any other hobbies that exist revolve around fishing. The boat, The 4WD, photography, camping.

If fishing wasnt the hobbie then the others would be gone, the camera gear would reduced to bare essentials.

If it wasnt there Id probably just book flights to places like Bali, Las Vegas or German, sit in a bar and get off me chops.

Being a spectator bores the livin crap out of me.

Once I get the time I will be selling a lot of my older gear on E-bay. Its quite a lot.

Sun, 2009-07-12 14:37

You remind me of youngest son, hit a kangaroo at 80klms, all he had on was his tank top and shorts & helmet, you can imagine the gravel rash he had, his back, down the left side, both legs and 4 broken ribs, riding his dirt bike in Townsville, came around a corner, high grass on the left, wham poor kangaroo dead, son made the local paper in Townsville, he was in a lot of pain for quite awhile, now I hear yesterday fell off again 3 broken ribs, don't think he'll ever learn.  Told his wife to burn his bloody bike, but unfortunately she's got a trail bike and loves riding with him, bloody kids, 3 minutes of pleasure and look what worry we as parents have, but it is good fun, I like my friends quad bike, hacking up and down the beach in Leeman.  My hubbie used to ride Speedway many years ago, when Chum Taylor was riding A grade solo.
