    Level of anxiety?

    I know the anxiety is high the night before leaving for a trip but how many are restless 10 days before? Laying in bed at night thinking of things you don't want to forget and trying to figure out what its actually going to be like and hoping to catch fish. Just a thought and wondered if I was the only one that did that.

    No, you are not the only one. I have a trip planned in August and I have already been making lists and organizing some "special tackle boxes". I can hardly wait for it now, I have no idea what I will be like ten days out.

    Not sure why you would wonder if you are the only one who does that type of thing. But for the record...you are.

    I think about tournaments and what the pattern or baits will be months in advance. I get great joy out of setting in the boat retying and aranging tackle for each tournament. For me it is just part of the game

    Re: Level of anxiety? (Basstronaught)

    I have a master list that I go by. So far I've been over packed every time. I learned this last trip to pay attention to the amenities offered at the place/area I'm going.

    Note to self: If the place doesn't have a stove in the room dont take frozen pizzas.

    The need for multiple close changes .... wet, cold, hot. Is the bulk.

    As far as fishing tackle...... if you've got so much that you could possibly leave behind something that would truly effect your fishing ... You've got too much
