Weighing things up.

[Gaffer]

Whilst loading the car I weighed all of my kit that I'm taking on a 15hr overnighter.

 

The total weight of luggage, Holdal, bivvy, bedchair and bait came to a whopping 52kg (114lbs) !!! ...and that's not including my barrow! Must be all that Stainless!!

 

How much gear do you take?

When I lived in Cairns, fishing tackle consisted of a plastic spool of line (from which you could cast from the side - a Cuban Yo-Yo), a few weights and a few spare hooks, and half a pound of frozen green prawn for bait.

 

Dress was shorts and a light shirt (no shoes or socks!)

 

Boy, did we get a lot of fish, some nice specimens too.

 

I found it hard to get my head around the amount of gear that the match fishermen carried, when I returned to the UK (this was before carp!), all for catching tiny little fishes!!

Gaffer,

You must have been well bored to think of weighing all your stuff, and I hope you didn't forget to weigh your scales
