Yes, it certainly changed the Mersey River from top to bottom...

Here's a few before & after photos that I've put together since the June floods.... Cheers Adrian This was Dynan's Bridge at Weegena, Mersey River. The Mersey River at Kimberley some 20 kms downstream from Weegena. The Mersey River on private property that I fish at Weegena.. The Mersey River at Weegena where I cross over.. Mersey River at Merseylea 500 meters from where the bridge was. Massive change to the Mersey River above where Dynan's

Well, I'm sure mine target species will not be a surprise to most of you on the site... 1: BROWN TROUT.... 2: RAINBOW TROUT....

I've never used the dry method only used the wet method.. 1 tablespoon of Brown sugar, 2 tablespoons salt to a pint of water.. I also add a small dose ( 2 tablespoons) of soy & sweet chilli sauce to the mix, drop the fish into it, cover and leave in the fridge over night. Dry fish with paper towel and then hot smoke.. This is what I do when I keep a trout or two throughout the trout season on the odd occasion.. cheers Adrian

Thanks guys, I'm glad it came with a DVD as well as an instruction manual disk, also the instruction manual book of 381 pages.. Trouble is they make it look all so easy on the DVD..

Well I have upgraded from my Canon SX500IS PowerShot camera to a Canon EOS 700D SLR Camera, have had it for a couple of weeks now, It's a lot different to the powershot that's for sure. Slowly getting used to all the mod cons on it, will take a little while longer before I'm completely confident with it though.. This camera will "NOT" be coming in a river with me at all.. still have two SX150IS compact powershot camera that will be used for my trout fishing in the rivers.. Any way here's a few pf my practice shots... All taken from in & from my backyard. ch

Great report & pic's Dan, I'm sure it won't be long before you reach your target of a 40cm bream mate.. well done.. cheers Adrian

Brilliant report and ripper photos doobie, it's such a beautiful area down there that's for sure.. After all that walking you thoroughly deserved those fish mate, well done.. cheers Adrian

Massive fish, good to see it fed a lot of people too..

Great report & pics doobie, it's a real downer when one loses a favorite lure that's for sure.. lovely area Southport, and lovely weather conditions too, at least you managed a feed. Yes a motor trimmer or a boot maker will fix them for you.. cheers Adrian

Some great photos taken Alex, loved the video clip too, well done.. Have to call you the "Onkaparinga Bream King" I reckon.. I've taken a few dives during my days of trout fishing rivers too, always try & save the rod & reel first as well.. cheers Adrian

Great report & pics doobie, Boy I used to love fishing those areas back when I lived in Sth Australia.. thanks for bringing back some good memories mate.. cheers Adrian

Be nice to be just that agile too..

Beautiful pics that's for sure, very nice..

Now that's what I call a feed.. Yummy!!! ...

I will be fishing again on the 6th August when the trout season re-opens...

River rose again by around 2 feet yesterday after 40mms of rain, ground is so saturated it's just running into the rivers.. Mersey River has started to spill into paddocks again at Merseylea.. Mersey River spilling into paddocks again..

Here's a before & after photo, Mersey River at Kimberley..

Excellent report and photos underpants, great trip with some nice fish taken..Very nice area to camp & fish down there too, nothing worse than tangled line either.. Still a good weekend away.

Here's one for the trout fisher's... cheers Adrian
