Every time I go somewhere fishing that requires air travel I seem to take WAY TOOOO much stuff. And this trip is no different, maybe even worse. I say that because it's my first trip to Kiritimati, aka. Christmas Island. So it's natural to take along a few extra rods and reels, and meds, and more meds, and insect repellant, and sun screen, and so on and so on. Did I mention food? Yep, even food snacks for mid day as lunches are apparently less than desirable and snacks are highly recommended to supplement the peanut butter or milkfish / trevally salad sandwiches.
The other thing that has really added to the packing is having to take rods and reels for both BIG and little fish at the same time. Bonefish will be great on the 7wt. or 8 wt. rods, but at the same time try to pack a big rod and reel for GT's! And an even BIGGER rod and reel for offshore stuff like tuna and wahoo.
Whewwww, I'm tired. Maybe once I get on the plane tomorrow I can sleep a little and relax. Yah, I'm excited. Really excited :)
Hopefully I'll have some great pictures and stories to tell when I get back.
See ya in a couple of weeks, Tony
