Simple Match Fishing Forum

Last few days since it been sunny ive had a few more headaches than normal, i wear glasses (24/7) and got reactors on them so they act as sunglasses but i can still see/read things and not squinting.

Anyone else having similar random headaches? Dont remember having headaches last summer or owt (mostly in the day). Im thinking daft maybe its where the sun hasnt been around for a while maybe the eyes take a while to re-adjust to a different light or something or is it me thinking stupid?!

Hmmmmm

Too much thinkin my head hurts

its the sort of fishing you are doing its so intents i always leave the venue with a headache thinking this thinking that my brother is a mad scientist in Canada [cancer research] and he was saying that the strength of the suns rays is higher than ever and with it reflecting off the water is almost doubled so perhaps a stronger pair of sun glasses is needed gem 8-)he is always telling us to stay out of the sun or put sun block on bye the bucket full

Reactors are no good if you are getting glare, especially from water Gem. Many years ago I had a spell of bad migraine type headaches after fishing especially when there was a ripple on the water. The answer was a pair of prescription sunglasses with polorid lenses.

They are not cheap but I wait til the opticians are doing a BOGOF deal and got the polorids as the free pair but still had to pay £60 extra for the special lenses. :(

Thinking about it Joff i did have abit of a headache last time fishing when it was sunny, dont know if it was excitement or as you say the intensity of fishing.

I done the BOGOF offer with specsavers when these i got in Feb/March, but back then i had to pay 2 lots of reactors as they didnt include them then but they do now (typical!).

So the Polorids are the better option, ill have a look into it and maybe have them next time i get new glasses.

Thanks guys

thats it now gem we'l have no more sun

NOOOOOOO! Well it peed it down in the night and ive had to put a hoody on today im cold!

i wear glasses (24/7)

try taking your glasses off when you go to bed or sleep

Do you know what Si after the reaally rubbish day ive had today you just made my day with that comment, thanks

its just started rainning here as well i sure the bad summer started at the begining of june

I think sometimes the intensity of the fishing can lead to a headache Gem, coupled with the concentration and focus of a 5 hour match in any conditions.I get them from time to time mostly on the way home from the black country when woodhouse has ripped the **** out of me when i have picked up a brown envelope

Gemma, half way through the match i was on yesterday i began with one of them headaches which became almost unbearable at the allout.I had that bright white water to contest with and i am sure it was that ??
After the match one of the lads showed me a pair of yellow tinted glasses made by Fox which change colour according to the light......they are superb, i couldnt beleive the difference when i tried them !!!

That sounds super dodge thanks for the info. Ill have a look round and see if any of the blokes have a pair that i could borrow for 10mins whilst fishing

Shame about the headache you got from your days fishing, did you do well fishing wise?

Erm..........

i was crap Gem ::) but i drew in a poor area on the day to be fair with a half a dozen other anglers who also struggled ..............thats how it goes sometimes

Thats the mystery of fishing! Hope your next outing is better for you

Gem,

I used to suffer from terrible headaches all the time,then i got home from work one morning and found out she'd packed her bags and had left me.............................wey hey no more headaches

MEOW!!! that hurt!
