Did you think I had quit? No way!<br><br>Just a brief note to let you all know that I am taking a well earnt holiday mid August and will be away 14-28th. I will let you know shortly about who will be moderating the board while I am away. <br><br>But this won't just be a holiday, I want to make that real clear... I have to work as well while I am away. Were off to fish a low level tourny in the Western Pacific first before I can really relax and get a sun tan. <br><br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com/samoacomp.html" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com/samoacomp.html</A><br><br>So over the next few weeks I will be gathering the work tools together (rods, reels, pretest, momoi leader, crimps, swaging tools, lures, jigs, skirts, hooks, long sleeve team polo's, 6 gallons of sun block and more) in preparation for this great fishing spot. <br><br>Gunna get me some big GT's like those ones you can see up at the SW Board and then some more. Dog Tooth Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin, Sailfish and down the list we go.<br><br>Also going to take across a few secret tackle weapons like some Hack Jig Flies for surface skipping on Dolphinfish and Sailfish. <br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.demonjigs.com/images/kev54.jpg"><br><br>A deadly peice of tackle that were keeping up our sleeve until the last moment. <br><br><A HREF="http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/hackjig.htm" target="_new">http://www.outdoorcart.com/demon/hackjig.htm</A><br><br>I should emphasise that this is the work part, not the holiday. I am the Team Leader so there won't be time to relax out on that pristine, fish rich, cobalt blue, pacific water. <br><br>No way!<br><br>Too much going on with those magnificent islands in the backgound, screeming reels, stand up gimble belts straining at the buckle and pre-test stretched to the max. <br><br>It can also be a dirty job at times and someone has to do it I know. A more than serious set of responsibilities and someone also has to carry the IGFA Rule book and keep our "stand up Team" motivated! So that means it's work. <br><br>Then there will be some time after the comp to relax, see the physiotherapist, take a load off the back strain, flick around the SW fly rod, and soak up the sun. Oh yeah!<br><br>More on my departure as that date (of 14 August) get's closer. <br> <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B<br>Moderator - Lures/Baits<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
