Well keeping with the getting ready as we are all so sick of these winter months now after such a good year..i am ready gear wise 2 months sooner than normal.

Spare engine serviced and cleaned ready to be put back on...



Other bits to go on the boat along with the 3 weapons of mass destruction...(bush eat your heart out)

Ha, now i know your secret weapons . But really, one of the best parts of boat fishing is the " Getting Ready " part, think you'll agree...

[northeast1]

When we you find agood wreck i tryand put down other things and other gear just to prove they work and TBO alot of the time if i put down a yellow, white or another colours with a orange lure i will catch as many on the other colours...i will always use orange thou as it is what catches me and what i feel is the best.

dragged the box into the lounge last night and started getting ready...cleared the wrecking rigs to one side in preparation for the early season stuff...oooh cannit wait!

I find I like to have just enough rigs tied to last a session or two - that way you have the added anticipation of having to tie more rigs as the season progresses...plus sometimes you can experiment with rig designs a little...I tried a 1 up 1 down flowing trace last year with fairly average results so that's knocked on the head this year and it's back to basics...lot's of lure/shad type stuff this year methinks

Well thats it wiped out, the last bit of cod/ling was taken out the freezer today and eaten, already being pestered to stock it up with 2-4lb cod and odd ling......4 weeks and counting until we try
