    Posted: 09 May 2013 at 9:24pm
It's that time of the year again!  The Hunter Valley Caravan, Camping, 4WD & Fishing Show is on, at Maitland Show Ground, from Friday May 24th to Sunday 26th.   Unfortunately, I have to work on the Friday, but my able bodied mates, Mo and Curly  (SNAFU & RAVA), will be doing their best to hold back the crowds on the Friday.  I'll be in on Saturday and Sunday, trying to get the accounts back into the black LOL.  The upside of missing Friday is .............. yep, I only have to put up with Thomo putting shit on me for 2 days, rather than 3 Big smile
 
I've been bustin' my butt for the past 3 months, trying to carve 100 lures. Hug Nearly got there!  Looks like I managed about 80 lures and 12 Lure Making Kits.  Might have to sort through my treasures to see what else I've got to make up the numbersBig smile.
 
Took some photos this afternoon but unfortunately, with fading light, the photos don't show up some of the colours - particularly the flouro orange and flouro pink.
 
Lures are:  Little Diggers,  Micro Diggers,  Macleay Minnows                         
   
 
Lures are: Moogerah Minnows,  Mack Attack and Trout
   
 
Guppy and 7cm Minnow Lure Making Kit lures.
 
Now, it's into the shed to hook and bag these little fellas.
 
Hope to see a few members at the Show.
 
Cheers
 
Travers

G'day Manny
 
Unfortunately, it's mainly tyre kickers, looking at campervans and caravans, that turn up to the 4WD Show Cry.  Not too many fishermen.
 
It's more of a 'long haul', social outing for me.  Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the few dollars collected.  Fingers crossed, this year will be fine, sunny weather with boat loads of fisherman walking through the gates Big smile.
 
I was just looking at the photos that I posted.  They're a bit out of proportion!  The tiny little Micro Diggers look bigger than the Little Diggers and the little  Trout lures look bigger than the Mack Attacks!  Maybe, I should take a photo with each lure in it, so that it shows their relative size.
 
Cheers

DOn't be too hasty about the tyre kickers bit, some of us handed over a bit of coin at last year's show. Sadly fellas I'm not going to be in the country for this year's show and after seeing these pictures I may regret it.
Hi I'm Ropes and I'm addicted to fishing lures.

Seeing how Travers loves his bananas and I won't be there to cook this year have sent a couple of boxes of bananas in several types. No lures in Vietnam and very few fish left but they all have lots of bananas. Hmm lots of bananas no fish?

Sorry fellas I don't think I can make it this year as I am working this weekend and running a bit low on $ haha.
They should advertise it better, I picked up a bit of gear last year but like you said there weren't many fisherfolk there...
Nice looking lures Travers and Mick, good luck to yous!

Sorry Bob, but our Head Chef has left the team, this year.  Apparently, Dave is in China learning to cook authentic Chinese cuisine Big smile.
 
This year, we're chewing on Muesli Bars and hoping to find a runner to buy us a bucket of hot chips! Confused
 
It's raining like buggery, here. Had an inch of rain overnight with more to come.
 
 
Weekend might be OK

Dave, when you return, should we call you Fatso?   Flacco and Fatso has a nice ring to it LOL.  Gary wants you to learn how to cook Deep Fried Tarantula with hot chilli dipping sauce.  Saito is pretty keen to try some, too.  For me, Black Bean Cat sounds pretty goodConfused.
 
Well, it's on for young and old tomorrow.  Gary and I hooked up a couple of POWELL LURES signs on the shanty, this afternoon, only to find the show staff pumping the surface water off the area. Could be a wet day for the boys tomorrow.
 
Gary and Mick are looking after the stand tomorrow, while I'm at work.  Gary and I will be 'manning' the stand on Saturday and Sunday.
 
Hope to see a few familiar faces in the crowd.

Latest report ,early Friday morning, setting up site, 4 inches of rain on ground and gumboots being worn from your Northern reporter.
 
The water seems to be slow to drain away.
No doubt the Port will appear earlier than expected.
