Ok if you know me in the real world I’m known to ask silly questions . Having fun with the shallow crank UV olive lure . Are there any other UV lures available to buy in Aussie ? Thanks

It does work well imho for all the people online having a dig at me not on here though

Yellow eyed mullet have been very frustrating for me as a fly fisher and a real challenge. I recall catching them as bait fish in the sea on mini sabiki fished through breadcrumb burley many years ago. Thinking along these lines and having learned about dropshot fly fishing I came up with a possibility. I used a 13 ft. Tenkara rod with a clear nylon line of 10 lb as main line. To this was a 4 lb. 4 ft. leader with a dropper 8 in. long a foot from the end. At the very end an AAA shot was placed and a 12# Sawyers killer fly on the dropper. Casting is a sod! But, the result in my local rive

alot of guys are using drones to find fish these days - from flat head to GT's. Maybe thats whats being referred to

This was another tough day at the office, the lack of trout in the rivers hasn't improved at all, still a battle to find them nowadays. This video was my last trip to a river ten days ago, with the rivers being what they are I haven't bothered to push myself this season. This is a shortened video of the spin session I had in the Meander River, good musical photo slideshow at the end of it.. cheers Adrian (meppstas)

With the local web cams they only tell me what the water conditions are like,as for who's catching what or where no it doesn't do that.

What type of fishing do you like? What is your local webcam?

Is the rise of fishing web cams in South Australia stripping away the thrill of the unknown? Are we becoming too reliant on technology to tell us where the fish are, rather than trusting our instincts and experience? Or are these cams just another tool to enhance the fishing experience? Let’s debate whether they’re a blessing or a curse for the fishing community.

The wooden one's are now for collectors,the later alloy is for hauling big fish up a rock face or jetty.Plenty of power like overhead reels.

Is the Seamartin wooden reel more about catching fish or catching eyes at the pier? Are we paying for craftsmanship or just aesthetics? Would you trust it in a real fight with a monster fish, or is it destined to be a shelf ornament?

Got this line on it the tackle shop person was shocked the entire line fit on the spool with backing it’s thin 8 lb and I put on 4 lb FC leader

Ok my Temu 500 reel arrived looks good I’ll get line put on it this week , I’ve lined it next to the sienna 1000 .

This trip was from a few of days ago when I decided it was time to do some fast water fishing for trout. The trout have been very scarce in the rivers due to the large influx of cormorants that have hit the rivers here in Tasmania. Thankfully on this trip I did manage to catch & release of few trout, the weather conditions were ideal & the going was tough in the river too. Thanks for watching & stay safe on/in the water, don't forget to watch the photo slideshow at the end of the video.. (this is a shortened video of the spin session as well) Cheers Adrian (meppstas)

Got a update it’s in customs now

thanks this 500 was $14.85 thought why not I’ll give it a try when it gets here and I get line on it

I have bought spinning reels from Temu as well - 2000 size. 12 ball bearings etc. with a spare "plastic spool". They work smooth as silk. Drags works well too - Only $35. Cant go wrong I reckon..........

I couldn’t stop myself couldn’t find a 500 size reel in tackle shops . So my family buy off Temu I got my daughter to download the app all security stuff done . I thought for under $15 why not .it’s a ZP 500 5kg max drag 5.2.1 140g . had to spend a few more cents to get to $15 so bought braid scissors to

Ryan's a passionate fisherman himself. I'm sure he'l make the right decision for you over there. Like you said it will take years to get the numbers back up in the rivers with out stocking.

Thanks Yorky, it's not good at all and there's four species of cormorants (Shags as we Sth Aussie's call them) here in Tassie and they're all protected so there will be no culling at all. The Inland Fisheries don't believe in restocking rivers/streams but they will stock the lakes in and around the state, they believe in self recruitment in the rivers and with the lack of trout in the rivers it's going to take years before they recover, that's if they ever do recover which I can't see happening for at least three to four years. Each season the trout catches in rivers has become lower and the f

The yellow highlight is what the like is for, the red isn't good, I hope it turns around

Yes, it's not good that's for sure, I spent another few hours in the Meander River again two days ago and never saw a trout, did see half a dozen Cormorants (Shags) fly over which was not a good sign. The majority of rivers are the same, a large shortage of trout in all of them.. it's going to be a poor trout season all round, by the looks of it. Quite a few people are fishing private fishing farms that are stocked with large rainbows & browns, but I'm not into that, besides it not cheap to fish those places either & the trout will take what ever you throw at them. I prefer the challen

Unreal, its like trout don't even exist atm. I havnt even bothered. Got 2 bows on my first session just out of Tumut but didn't spot any. Normally I'd see 12 or so fish. Just baron out there. Hope it improves

Ok I think I know why the water isn’t coming in . They are working on the marina in a section I don’t fish in . I’ll guess they aren’t letting the water through .

Ok does anyone know what’s going on at the Pat with water amounts . Tide levels seem to be empty most days even with a very high tide . This morning again basically no water.
