Remember after our last trip of the year, which to be fair, we didn't realise would be our last trip, I said to you Codqueen - "It's your turn to clean out the boat tackle box?".................................I guess you forgot!
So when I decided to check the tackle, now my students are finished, I got it out the shed, opened it and it was minging, really stinking, I almost boaked with the smell!! Hooks, snap swivels, hokki traces, scizzors, a few shads, all covered with rust and only fit for the bin, thank God the reels and some tackle were in a separate box!
A tupperware tub of 10 month old squid, wrapped in a towel, too scared to open it, the smell was rancid, couldn't bin it, so I dug a wee hole in the back green and buried the lot!! Hosed the box out and it is still in the garden....................... Thanks Lynn.
Anyway spent all afternoon sorting it out and we are ready for next month's holiday in Whitley Bay. Why do I get so excited each year, only to be disappointed??
For a pair of very part time anglers, we have way too much stuff.
Anything missing that we might need to catch Cod?
Rippers are covered in WD40 and I am hoping they will recover!
Gifted to us from a very kind member. You know who you are!
Less than six weeks to go!
