Do You Pack A Week Out??

[BR65]

Off to Mondy next week end, this trips a bit more social, Ive got a FFBV (fresh faced barra virgin) as crew, plus the mates got his cheese and kisses and yard ape with him, so it wont be as full on as usual.
Mind you, I walked out of the shed last thing this arvo, turned around and had a look, and the boats ready to go, rods are in the carry tube, camping gear has been checked, and double checked, all the reels have had the leaders pre-fitted, the lure bag was scrutinized yesterday arvo for anything that needed replacement, modification, rectification or up-grading.
Am I getting anal, or is this normal IBD behaviour??? ;)

[STIFFWORM]

Well done mate now don't forget to go to the shed every night, presuming there is a beer fridge in the shed and check everything. :)
OTHERWISE TAKE SUPPLIES!

That's right go to the shed every night and check everything! ;)
especially the lure selection, that should be checked and changed each night :-/and checked again. ::)

Of course this applies regardless of whether you are going fishun next weekend. because you can't be too sure. And of course check in here regularly because the the lure of preponderance could well have changed since you last checked in and you may have to go to the shed and check stuff again. :P

It sure as hell beats watchin days of our desperate housewives doctors lives at home or away who think they can dance! bloody loosers! sorry got a bit carried away there. :(

NOW TO THE SHED! :D

Mate, I cant commit this far out, more than likely I'll be up anyways, but to hard to lock it in Eddie for a cabin berth.
What about the camp ground, nice time of year to sit around a fire and smash some bundies after a days fishing?

[Tropicaltrout]

yeah I will take the fire set up and for Whitto the chicken soup. not to mention some harden up princess to warm the bones....

[nipsta]

Interesting thread boys......we got home late yesterday, cleaned gear, repacked lures, replaced leaders and are ready to go again!!

Full report & pics will follow later today.........

[Big_Ren]

I need at LEAST half an hour's notice for a trip;D I'm so bloody OCD I have my checklist (as long as my arm) laminated, with spare laminated copies filed away and electronic copies on 2 flash drives;) Now that we have shifted homes, I will be able to have the boat in the garage permanently packed and ready to roll.

Sounds like you boys are in for a fun weekend.....showers and storms....they are a certainty Whitto. Good luck to all heading up and have a safe trip. I'll be up there for a few days from 25 March.

Cheers
Paul

[Whitto]

I'd be disappointed Paul if it didn't piss down with the occasional storm;D....hopefully it will be a half reasonable trip.....Brian and his groupies....Nath & Deano...not sure who else.....all are welcome to have a guzzle and share a fire...we'll have a good time we always do.......Whitto::)
