I am urgently in need of a fix right now - on my watch list is a Towing vehicle for a 21 ft Butt Cat , Trim and Tilts for the Butt Cat , Tuna and Marlin Tackle , a 15 hp motor for the small boat I got for  my son to use in the Poort (a man's got to start with a small boat )  - my only consolation is that he can use some of my old tackle - Hopefully (and not get catch the disease)  Look , my wife has always been happy with the fishing story - but she told me the other day that in my life my priorities are all wrong - she said that  the rods and reels and boats stand in line before her - I quickly corrected  her and told her she cannot be more wrong - first the boat , then the rods... silly woman... :billf:

My name is PeterCox and I have a problem, its been 2 days since my last instinct buy and 6 months since my last fishing trip :(
 
I have rods I have never even used but wont sell, and reels that have never even seen what a fish looks like (this may be more my fault than theirs)
 :cry: :cry: :cry:
Im going to have to go shopping after this post  (clap)
