Title: Bugatti late August 2010
Post by: Scott Maybury on July 15, 2010, 10:54:44 AM

Hey guys,

I am going on the Bugatti trip which commences 27 August. Just wondering if anyone else from the forum is going to be there?

The anticipation has already started...now all I need to do is cull the rods, lures and hooks down to a manageable heap.  ::)

I keep telling her it is better than me being out drinking, womanising and gambling..which were my main 3 pre-marriage hobbies....and she seems to agree but I think that might wear thin if she ever discovered the full extent (and more importantly, the cost) of my collection...I have about 50 poppers at home, god knows how many jigs and terminals, and some of it is still here at work, I have a 600m spool of Varivas, 10 poppers including a few Craftbaits, some hooks and a few jigs sitting on my shelf at work  ::)

Even still, with all of that, she is very tolerant....I think what REALLY annoys her is the fact that I am going away for 8 days and leaving her to look after our 2 year old son on her own, and she does work 4 days a week, so it is always tough on her when I go away

A good woman I would say to put up with me  :D

Thanks mate, so pumped for it. Up to hamo on Thurs and off to the reef lunchtime Friday...just packed my gear and spooled a spare spool with 130lb braid...and, miracle of miracles, if you don't count my rod tube I have actually kept it to nearly exactly 20kg

Thanks Brandon there are only 9 guys this week and I don't recognize any of the names from here

as for the 20kg I still can't work it out myself, it is a first for me...I am a bit worried I have left out 7 or 8kg of essential equipment! :D
