A necessary purchase

Things have been a little quiet since the Wonboyn trip. It's cold, windy and Winter so the fishing for me has been in hibernation mode. That will all change soon when Dad, myself and a couple of the boys hit the Glenelg River at Nelson for some bream, EP's and (fingers, toes and everything else crossed) a mulloway.

With 3 and a half weeks to go I have been reviewing my tackle situation and remembered that just prior to the Wonboyn trip I misplaced all of my vibes and hardbodied lures. I think I left them on the edge of the boat when I drove it to get some new tyres. Silly, silly man. On the plus side, for my birthday recently I have received some vouchers for motackle.com.au so I think I'd better put them to good use!

Below is my current order:


I haven't really replaced any of my hardbodies (Ecogear SX40's, Atomic hardz, etc) as I have never really put in enough time with them to do well, but I think that I'll concentrate on vibing, hence the strike pro cyber vibes. I have also got some berkley gulp fry as these accounted for a lot of EP's last year and some squidgy pro critters just because they look plain enticing.

Hopefully this is a good start to restocking my new tacklebox and a sign of things to come when we head off on another jewie hunt!
