What did you forget in the tackle box

[mowerman]

Somewhere on this site is the quote.
"The 2 most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity"

Went to Moreton for a week last August.
Set up camp, time to rig the rods.
Shite..All my nice new gang hooks are sitting on the bench at home.
What are mates for..Yeah sure they said. Cost you 2 cans a set. Thanks mates.
I was very careful where I cast that week.

Have a nice day.

Could have been worse. At least you still have the hooks when you get home. My brothers and I left our tackleboxes at a lake once when we were kids. On the way home, we noticed that we had forgotten to pack them. Dad sped back to the lake and we looked all over for them but nope, they were gone for good. Wow, did we get yelled at. Must have lost a few hundred dollars worth of gear.

That is definately not one of my favorite fishing stories to remember. I get a sick feeling every time I think of it. Like my stomach is getting tied in knots.

Brrrrhrrrrhrrrrr! Yuck!

Since that day, I've become obsessed with checking to see that everything is accounted for before I leave. I guarantee that I learned my lesson---and then some.


I'll bet you never forget your hooks again. Also, as far as your friends charging you two cans of beer goes.......just wait until they forget something. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa! It will be payback time!

"You forgot your hooks did you? No problem, you can use mine----FOR A KEG!!!"

Karma.

knife, rid, pliers spring to mind.

Yeah... pliers for me aswell . Thats happened heaps... another incident would be me packing everything to go on this big reef trip near Cairns... where i packed all my bait gear (hooks and everything...) but i was planning a big day out with a assortment of jigs. So told my mate 'yeah yeah i got everything buddy'. "Oh thats good mate, you gonna be throwing lures and jigs around mate'? "yeah thats my main aim mate'. Turned up the next day at the warf after a 2 hr drive from where i live at 3am in the morning. 'Hey Theo, umm where's your jig box mate?' . I dont think ive ever been that angry in my life!

The gaff. Out on the gravel beds at Noosa/Teewah. Got onto the spotties with a couple of spaniards thrown in. Thank God for the rigging gloves we forgot about on a previous trip. Never forgotten one since. Do forget the missus a fair bit though...

My biggest P%$# off was leaving the boat keys at home, It was a nice day to go towing but.

The thing I leave home the most is the sun screen, did it again today.

Cheers
