Well the count down is on. <br><br>9 days to go before we leave for the Western Pacific and I am like a pit bull on a short chain and the links are well stretched.. <br><br>Not enough hours in the day, tackle everywhere expect in the tackle box, mental list as long as a toilet role, and several rod tubes to pack.<br><br>Have not even thought about clothes yet. Even so, all that will come together as the final days go by. 2 years in the planning, as many days dreaming of that cobalt water, team members are all kitted out, and we are just about set for some hot fishing. <br><br>Have also added in another secret weapon. A home made CD Rom fish teaser. Yep, hand selected CD roms so that we can educate the fish via Grolliers Encylopedia, or have them approach our lures with the knowledge that the Rolling Stones live on, as they come up to the strike. <br><br>Add six squillion lures, jigs and other tackle to the picture and were just about set. Away from 20 August until 1 September by the way. <br><br>So as they days count down and I switch off the light before going out the door, I will hand over the board to Jerry V, and other board moderator's, to care take the place while I am away. <br><br>May even be able to drop in an update from the competition. <br><br>Hey that would be fun.... Î can hear those jet engines already. <br><br>P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for the September issue of Marlin Magazine. They are reviewing our new "Billy Baitfish Lures" for Sailfish, Swordfish, Striped Marlin and their mates. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
