Shed Tidy

[The Great Wallsendo]

With Norman calling the season forward potentially by a couple of weeks I thought with almost spring like weather about today I'd better make a move in getting inside the shed...

Multi pronged attack really to :

A) ascertain the state of the shore gear in readiness for the summer months (washed waders which are leaking in the foot in preparation for a repair job and rinsed/lubed up the multipliers)

B) figure out if I really need to buy a new spinning rod and reel? (jury still out on that one. Head says no - Heart says yes )

C) take a look at the boat box and general stocks of hooks, line, swivels etc...all main zips shot but no great shakes

D) tidy the shed in order of preference - so boaty stuff to the fore

Tomorrows job is actually sort the box....tiny tiny steps as they say

...wonder if I should buy some shads

[The Jester]

Job well done there Tony and great organisation skills I bought a shed to put things in, then i bought a greenhouse to put plants in......now both are full of gear.......sods law is true....

I too have been preparing for the forthcoming season, this consisted of a brief walk into the garage to see if my box/bag was still where i left it in september, and my rod is still leaning against the wall...

and yes, they are all ready to go..

phil has purchased some very nice rubber fishcatching devices
(of which i'll go halves £)

boat engine services (main and aux ) 17th of this month, wash down and polish soon after....

install and test electrical equipment....

wait for weather window to match with freedom from graft

catch big (ish ) fish, win march/april comp...and so on...


oh, yes, you should buy new spinning rod..

oh, yes, you should buy new spinning rod..

Just bought some chinese braid off eBay in case I decide to stick with what I've got as a kind of compromise

...oh and a Shakespeare Salt Travel Beach 5 piece rod for this summers North West Wales camping fest!

...that's it with eBay for now...mebbes

Ahhh ebay after a drink or two fills up with gear that you never realised you needed until now. The Chinese braid is spot on though.

I've just bought some Chinese braid, opted for the day glow pink, looks pretty on my new Penn reel

Score so far - Fish 0 , fishermen 0, tackle dealers and ebay 12

(they do a good range in sticking plasters Kev :0) )
