Many years ago when I lived at North Haven I used to fish the areas marked on the map in a 12ft tinnie.. Don't know what it's like now days but back then it was very good fishing especially along the inside of the outer break wall (revetment wall as it was called back then) The area outside was great for whiting as well, fishing the white patches in the weed area.. Like I said that was a long time ago though.. cheers Adrian

Spot on Rybak.. That's what I stated earlier, it's time they took a hard look at them & do something about it instead of turning a blind eye to it.... cheers Adrian

Thanks doobie, yes that's the " Trout Stalker 2 " & yes it's mine... cheers Adrian

I'm sure that polluted storm water run off has had a big impact as does the daily millions of liters of water from the treatment plant, sea grass is now thinly spread along the coast and way out from where it used to be.. I can remember fishing the Semaphore & Larges jetties when the sea grass was well in close to shore and only the first third of the jetty had sand under it. Used to cast into the sand patches and catch KGW on every trip.. Now it's all sand for the length of both jetties.. cheers Adrian Port River & outer Harbour area.. used to be full of sea gra

Well they can't put the blame onto the recreational fisher with the restrictions already placed on them,, perhaps it's time to have a hard look into the professional side of fishing a little more.. cheers Adrian

Well, thought it was time to go through the hundreds of photos I've taken during the 2018/19 trout season and make up another photo book.. With so many to pick from hopefully I've picked out some of the best, thought there were plenty of others that I still would have liked to have used but had to draw the line somewhere. As it was this book has 98 pages to it and I'm reasonably satisfied with how it came out.. so here's a few photos of the book.. This is my 16th book I've made so far of which two have gone to France & two to Goowla.. Only 5 weeks to the start of the next seas

Here's a couple of videos of my last two trips of the trout season in small tannin streams'.. cheers Adrian

Well done Sykes...

Looks like we both had the great escape doobie, Thanks doobie, yes that's the trick part of the video., the answer is at the very end of the clip after the credits... cheers Adrian

Been a very tough season chasing the trout in the rivers down here, needing 13 trout to reach the 500th trout I headed of to see if I could get it on this trip.. Did I or Didn't I catch it.. watch the video to find out, the clue is in the video... cheers Adrian..

Spot on Lofty, that's how I did mine too.. I didn't worry about the smell. kept them jar in of bran in the bottom of the fishing bait fridge. They go into hibernation and last for ages. Did leave them in the fridge in the house once, but somehow the jar got knocked over just after I put them in it. Seeing as I had some air hole in the lid..Well you can guess what happened after that.. That;s why I finished up with a bait fridge & freezer in the shed.. cheers Adrian

Did mine several days ago.. have no idea of the form of any of the teams either..

Here's a short video clip of a spin session in the Meander River when the fishing started of pretty good before it shut down.. full written report in the Interstate Section on the Forum.. cheers Adrian

Try finding someone who can take you to a spot & catch "Milk Fish" they're caught in the shallows in and around Darwin.. Very large solid fighting fish that will give you a run for your money & a real challenge.. The following clips will give you some idea... cheers Adrian

Bran & pollard, corn, curry powder, cat food (fish type), garlic, bread, tuna oil..

Doesn't get any better than that doobie.. no two nights are the same here.. cheers Adrian

Certainly some colours in the sky during last nights sunset here in Sheffield.. cheers Adrian Rainbow as a shower of rain passed by at sunset' Unusual glow in the clouds.. Red & orange colours as the sun set below a smoke filled horizon..

Well here's all my light weight trout reels that I use on my Daiwa Presso ULS 1-3kg rods 6' & 6'6'' & Okuma Celilo ULS 1-3kg 6'6'' & 6' rods. Well balanced set ups, reels all filled with a .18 4lb clear mono line.. Very happy with them.. Daiwa Ageas 2004H also have a MX2004H Gekkabijin reel which is much the same as the Ageas This little Crest reel is set up on a Daiwa presso 5'6'' rod for trout fishing small tight creeks & streams Daiwa Revros 1003 & I also have two 2004H ones. Okuma Ceymar C-10 (small reel) Okuma

Thanks guys, always something good to look back on in later years when I can't fish the rivers any more I reckon... Hopefully that wont be for a few more years yet.. cheers Adrian

This was a tough spin session chasing wild brown & rainbow trout in the Mersey River.. It was the fast water runs that held the trout today.. thankfully I did manage to catch a few in very humid conditions.. Don't forget to watch the slideshow at the end of the video.. cheers Adrian

This is the video clip of the Leven River report just posted on the Forum (Interstate Section) Full written report & photos are there.. cheers Adrian

Nice brown, well done on the PB too, pretty good session with 8 trout being caught.. Need to get yourself a landing net & a set of digital scales that way you can weigh the fish while it's in the net, then deduct the weight of the net from the total weight giving you the correct fish weight.. cheers Adrian

I don't use their Braid but I do use their thin clear 4 lb Mono, Copolymer & Fluorokote lines for trout fishing.and have never had a problem with it at all,, I have all three of them.,, very thin & strong.. .

Well I've finished my 2019 Calendar & had it delivered a few days ago.. I'm reasonably happy with what I put together.. cheers Adrian

Here's the video of the fishing report "Great spin session with 22 trout caught & released" Sorry about my reporting of how the day went the end, the Northerly wind was howling at 30 plus KPH.. cheers Adrian
