Good luck to everyone for the next competition to be announced soon.

I wouldnt personally use bream as live bait, they are not much good. If I were you Id be looking at trying to catch some trumpeters, mullet or gar. These fish are much better live bait! Haven't really got many runs in the port river but in the lake it doesnt really matter where you fish as mullies are located all around the lake. We have had runs before from many different locations, just have to get out there and give it a shot!Cheersbaldy

It has taken me a few weeks of mourning to post this pic'!  
 
I managed to snap the tips off both my bream rods, a Venom Death Adder and a Dynamix Bream, which were in the car on a fairly recent road trip to Marion Bay. Depressingly all my own fault!
 
R.I.P. my friends.

That was in 2016, new year now Softy.. all good for 2017..

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..

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....

Yep, good one to use on snook from the boat casting into the reef & rocky shores down south they dont get torn to shreds on the first fish also caught a few salmon on em 

Took this photo this morning, didn't come out all that good as I only used my small Canon camera that I use for trout fishing..
 
Didn't have time to grab my good camera  and set it up as the moon was setting too fast at the time.. May get up early tomorrow and see what it's like.

That's like the one I had except mine just had the two claws on them.. 

These ones look good but I doubt the museum would let them go?  http://www.thecollectingbug.com/axelstenross~objectsartifacts~1992632/item?1  Maybe drag out the welder?

They're beautiful eating that's for sure.. lovely pickled.. a bloke used to come into the Royal Arms Hotel selling them by the jar for $5-00, I'm going back quite a few years now though..
 
I had a set of long handled tongs and used them when out in the boat, very useful item that's for sure.
