When are you going to learn to tie an FG knot properly?!

Rain Gear, ibuprofen, solonpas, sun screen, good polarized shades.

Some lucky anglers will land the monster of their dreams in half a dozen casts and some will spend an entire lifetime with all the best reels, rods, lures, line & leader and never find that fish... my best advice is to go there with an open mind, don't set your expectations too high and have an amazing time 

For me this is 110% spot on....

Can add be well prepared, stretch etc, don't rush it, stay focused and concentrate ( all of which have been mentioned in previous posts )

Cheers guys some valid points, I have set my goal post's pretty high and I guess the success of the trip is not only based on what i do or don't catch its about enjoying the whole experience. That said I hope to add lots of pics to this thread when I get back....

Focus on making the lure work properly on every cast.  It doesn't have to be ripped in quickly, just properly.

Get the eat, then worry.

Sun protection for us up here is paramount.  I have had friends pull out of good weather days because of bad sunburn from the day before.  Columbia shirt and pants for me in summer, plus an 'arafat' hat and suncream on my face.

Don't use any knots or terminals if you have doubts.  Even small GTs pull like hell and any shortcomings will be quickly revealed!

For me the best thing, is the places u go, the things u see and the people u meet along the way. the fishing just comes as a big bonus. just have fun. Take plenty of pics and try not to get addicted too bad.
