Achromatopsia
I have a genetic sight condition called Rod Monochromatism, which is a form of Achromatopsia. I thought i'd take the opportunity while lockdown has slowed everything down, to tell you more about it. There's lots more info online if your interested in finding out more. If you have difficulty with your sight Check out your local area for vision based support and charity groups and if your in the UK the RNIB work nationally www.rnib.org.uk

Hook Line & Stinker #1
Переглядів 363 роки тому
This could be the beginning or a series... This is the first video i'v posted that actually has some kind of fishing in it and i blanked. It's all about the learning though and next time i should do a better job. I don't plan to put music over any other fishing content as a norm but there was a lot of swearing i couldn't edit out

If you struggle with your sight like I do then threading hooks can be difficult. These LE Hooks from Gurza are fab. Pick them up from www.ffslures.com www.streetfishinglondon.co.uk THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED VIDEO
Intro to Hook Line & Blinker
Переглядів 383 роки тому
Hi, It's about time i introduced myself. I'm Joe and i'm in my mid 30's. Hook Line & Blinker is a way for me to document my journey as i learn about fishing. I couldn't find much in the way of info for partially sighted people trying to get into fishing so this is my contribution to the world.
Threading Hooks and Line

Threading line through hooks etc can be fiddly and difficult at the best of times let alone if you have poor eyesight. Hopefully this idea will help out.

Pre-Tied Fishing Rigs
Переглядів 333 роки тому
If your sight or anything else causes difficulty with knots, this wont be much of an issue with pre-tied fishing rigs. Here are a few examples i picked up online for a few quid each. I bought these from www.anglingdirect.co.uk There are plenty of other sellers about so do shop around and try out different brands.
Hello there, thank you for the video. My son who is only 9 months old has been genetically diagnosed for Achromatopsia recently. As it is such a rare condition, it is hard to find many people stories, especially when coming from such a small country as we do (Czech Republic). So thanks a lot, any piece of information on how it is like to live with such condition is very helpful. I do have a question though. You have not mention if you are able to do any sports. For example running, riding a bike, skiing? Or collective sports like football, tennis etc? In your opinion and from your personal experience, is it better to try to teach a child everything (with some limitations) or is it better to focus on things he is most capable of doing? Cheers
Hi. I'm glad you found it useful. I've been meaning to revisit this video and do another with anything I missed or that's changed over the last few years. When it comes to sports, I find ball sports difficult. But I'd suggest just letting your child explore different sports and interests and see how they go. It's a condition that slightly differs person to person. All the best.
I always found achromatopsia fascinating, but hard to imagine. Thanks for explain it, I think this is the best way to get more information. bless U
Hey buddy ,i don't have condition but i am here to educate myself, achromatopsia really fascinating me 😃 Can you imagine color if i tell you ; Red is like a fire 🔥 Blue is like sky or ocean ☁️ 🌊 Green is like spring 🌿 Yellow is like really warm color 🌼 Pink is like fun and really girly 💗 Brown is like when you eat food you don't like 😆 Purple is really hard to explain but it's like girly blue color idk man haha 😄
kiddo
Hello I’m 16 years old I got it as well I had a few questions if you don’t mind me asking is getting a drivers or motorcycle license possible and how would transportation work?
Hi. So I live in the UK. Here you wouldn't be able to drive, this is down to the detailed vision and not being able to read a car reg plate from the required distance as part of a driving test. I use a lot of public transport, there are pretty good links where I live and as long as you plan your journey ahead you'll be fine.
My daughter just got diagnosed on Monday 🥺🥺
I'm glad to hear she's actualy got a diagnosis, there are lots of people out there waiting for one, or that don't even know they have a condition. There's lots of info and people to talk to out there, it can be hard but it shouldn't stop her enjoying her self and following her dreams.
I have the one with light sensitivity
I have it as well. Thank you for posting. Really interesting to hear another person's story.
Hi Jack, thanks mate. Are you on any Achromatopsia related groups ?
