more fungi from a trip to Loongana and a very small cluster of them inside of a hollow  retaining wall block at home.. note the slug in there with them. I didn't notice it until I trimmed the photo..

One lonely fungi at Loongana..
 



Small fungi at home..

On my walk back to the car yesterday after a spin session in the Meander River (report to come soon) I came across a couple of Fungi something I love taking photos of.
 
The bottom photo of the fungi was taken on the side of a steep hill I had to crawl up to get back from the river up to the roadway before getting back to the car at the end of my fishing session..

You two are rock'in today...       

With two months still to go before the trout season opens I go for walks in the rain forests looking for & photographing the variety of Fungi that grows in them. They only last a few days so it's a matter of being there at the right time.. Here's a few photos that I took last week....

I heard the Daiwa were not producing the Gekkabijin Yoguri lure any more, well the small ones that I use any way which are the 4F models (42mm/ 2gm) floating hard body lures. So I rang Daiwa Australia to confirm it and they said "That's correct, they're being discontinued and they have 15 left in stock. If want them I'd have to be quick and get hold of a Daiwa seller and get them to get them in for me. Well I was quickly on the phone and was lucky enough to get twelve of the Ghost Brown ones that I use from Daiwa.. so i do have some nice trout lures to see me out for a while proving I don't get busted off too often like I did towards the end of the trout season when I lost two in two trips, then broke the bib of the only surviving ghost brown one. Now what's left of them are probably in tackle shops around the country..These were selling from $17-95 to $22-95 each and I picked them up for $11-95 ea which I was very happy with.. also came with free postage too..

Small fungi at home..

just come back from sitting on those hard bum cushions on Sullies breakwater.
4 Mullet, 2 toadies and something that busted me off under the float.
(2 x 1kg salmon caught by a guy a little further away on soft plastics).

New trails at Fox? Only hit there once a couple months ago, when one of our lads crashed and dislocated his clavicle. Would be good to get back.
 
Didn't realise half the lads were riding the Craigburn Enduro so no ride. Contemplated a solo Cleland-Eagle loop...decided to join my roadie crew Sunday instead...the Mtb is waaay more fun & liberating vs the roadie.
 
Finished things of with  a few bunnies last night.
 

 
At this price i figure i've $80 sitting in the fridge!

yes, was definitely meant in just in good humour Poppa  
Was just meaning, we fishermen work through any pain to just go fishing
But in reality it can't always be the case - and I too would be a little cautious, so hope you start getting on the mend soon and once all is right with you, you can start to get out for a fish

I will take that as good humour.........I think?
But when you are waiting on a knee replacement, have 2 bulging discs and had inflamed bursars in both shoulders well ya gotta be a little cautious 

wimp

I went out in my Hobie and found a very co-operative school of salmon around the kilo size that kept me entertained for 3 or so hours until the fading light and a 3k paddle home had me leaving em biting. I ended up scaling back to a light 1-3kg rod and had a ball. I dont know how many I ended up getting and releasing but it certainly was what I needed to to finish my 4 weeks off......back to work tomorrow
Chuck and I are going to go back next week and have a crack at them on fly. He has a new 6 weight rod that needs christening and I reckon this would be just the thing to do it
 
I also got to use my gopro 5 and got some great footage now I just have to learn how to edit
