Phil's footsteps

History is set to repeat itself with the catalogues of family photos once again to be dominated by pictures of fish.... well potentially anyway.
'The General' is the Bloke's brother. He likes things organized and he will stop at nothing to ensure everything that can be, is well planned and executed. Ensuring that his little brother is well fed with fish has been the focus of The General's attention, especially as he's no longer going across The Bight to do the fishing for us - albeit that the Achilles' tendon injury is repairing well. Depending on the outcome of my dental appointments we might be dependent on some fish to stretch the budget and I might be on a diet of steamed fish and mushy peas a bit earlier than at the old pensioners home. Hopefully the dental work will be quicker than an Achilles' tendon rehabilitation.
So The General commandeered our fishing rods to check out tackle requirements and ensure we would be ready to catch our dinner -after all we are floating over a larder, are we not? What we received back blew us away. The rods have been returned with clip-on rigs ready for the appropriate and most likely catches we should encounter. Zip-loc bags have been populated with replacement snap-on rigs all made up and in readiness. The fishing box augmented with pliers, scissors and all the necessary extras. More boxes of  fishing hooks, weights, lures etc added to the arsenal and all delivered with love! WOW.
Thanks Keith (and Jan) so very, very generous and unfathomably thoughtful. Now we are organized to the n'th degree - just how you like it!
Our piscine knowledge and angling capabilities are puny and the fish photos are unlikely to resemble Nin and Phil's - trophy snaps of herring mountains, taylor, whiting, snapper, queen fish, barramundi etc... caught from rocks, beaches, jetties and boats. From rivers, lakes and oceans! Family slide nights were a competition... How many shots out of the multiple carousels on offer would NOT include one without one or more fish? Almost the only photos to be fish-free were of newborn grandchildren not yet home from hospital. It would only be a matter of time before they'd be holding a rod and be eligible for inclusion in the fish photos too. How is it then, that The Bloke is a fishing numpty? Probably the same principle as the the teetotal child of an alcoholic! 
We already have a precedent for what our fish photos are likely to look like. Shot #1 a fish in a bucket. Email #1 with photo attachment to Mum. Text:"What is this?". Reply from Mum - "It's a lovely herring"..... 30 minutes later.  Email#2 to Mum "How do we clean and cook them?" 30 minutes later Email#3 to Mum with photo attachment showing a tray of herring fillets for two.

Thanks General! Hope we don't get out of internet range - you've ensured we are more likely to catch some supper but it will be a while before we know what we've got and what to do? Hope you'll be on standby!
