Member number four.

I have approached Luaan and he is very keen. Its a bit early to speculate if he will perform on the day, but in saying none of us as ever fished the 90 mile classic.
From what I can gather he enjoys fishing from the beach and is more than capable of bringing fish to the table for the team event.
It might take some coaching from our senior members to get him going, and to school him in the NZ way of fishing, but he is one to be reckoned with.
Also his birthday will occur during the classic, so there will be at least one night of cellabration.

I think at this stage is to make sure that we sort our gear out, because its a long way to go with the wrong gear. I think that buying the sinkers togther will save us money, the only problem is sorting out the payment.

We have also decided that the new platypus line range is the one that will work for us. Very thin diameter, Low abrasion and very low trech.

The other thing is to decide how much gear we are going to take with us. The phrase (the more the better) is out of the question. Medium pacer and myself will make a list and place it on the blog so that every one can vote.
We also have to remember that as much as we are there to enjoy it, we are also there to compete, so bring your happy smile, but know that we are there to work.
