Softy

They were quite common back in the day.
I bought a new one a couple of years ago at the Vincent sports store, sadly closed now but it lives over there

is there squid in the warren haha

Contact South Oz rods. Rob often gets them in. He loves them but I prefer the standard design

All my Bream rods are 2-4kg I have no issues with it. In saying that i've never had a 1-3kg

We would love to see more reports posted up so are extending the Fishing Report Comp for another month. The comp will end on the 30th of September.
There have been a couple of good reports but we really want to see more getting posted up. Hopefully the warmer weather will help brush those cobwebs off of those dusty rods and put them to good use.
Get out there fishos!

Here's a couple of photos I took while fishing in the Dasher River several days ago as a rain shower came through..
cheers

Rainbow over the Dasher River..

The other half of the rainbow near Mt Roland at Claude Road..

Do i need more squid jigs?  

Yep any thing new needs to be tried,if you can find one ?
Got to remember some of us spend years perfecting losing lures so we always need more to lose

Looks good
 

I'm trying to catch something worth reporting.  

Yeah the bike track was like a truck had lost its load of hot dogs - absolute carnage
 

Yep Boyd took over a while ago and it's changed a lot. The are actually a fish processor so they get the bait fresh off the boat before it's frozen. Site sponsor fishing guru ( dan) works there too.

Hey all
Been quiet on the fishing/painting front with me...
Been working my arse off at work to start getting to look at purchasing my 1st house .. So with that been hindering my fishing time with all the overtime I've been doing... my car decided to shit itself again 😅😅 2months later im only getting it back on Monday! Bloody Covid!
So it's been a pretty stressful couple months...
But when it hasn't been cold out in the shed i have been painting up a few lures here and there for my own personal use...
I have been using a new clear coat that is alot quicker and harder than what i have previously been using....
Hopefully with winter almost behind us it means a few more nights in the shed to start painting up the yellowfin whiting lures for the up coming season.....
Heres a few of my personal collection i whipped up

i use to be massive on photography a year or two ago.... But work life and other hobbies have gotten in the way but i found these on my computer today.... Porties is such a photogenic place to take photos. Probably my favourite place that i took the majority of my photos...
Photos taken with an Canon 6d mk ii and a dji mavic pro drone...

 

 

 

Nice work Adrian bet it felt great to finally be back out there!

Finally got out for my first spin session of the trout season, only managed a couple of browns before the rain set in..
Only a short one hour session in very cold 3 degree water.. The Mepps #0 Aglia rainbow micro pigment did the job..
It was nice to be back in the water chasing trout again.. This video is in 1080p HD..
cheers
Adrian..

Wow has that shop changed in stock and the bait selection is huge,expanded from one shop to three.Don't think any tackle shop in Adelaide would have that amount of bait choices on offer,plus that bait vending machine is so handy out of hours.Prices are good on tackle i won't be buying from ebay any more,so glad to see that shop pushing ahead for us fisho's.

Thanks guys for your kind thoughts. very much appreciated, i will be fine...👍
I'll finish of with a wild sunset with it snowing a long way off to the left of the photo... 
cheers

I'm hoping once the weather settles down I'll be back in a river chasing trout, I'm not pushing myself this early in the season like I normally do..So there's no trout fishing for me yet, I had an appointment this afternoon to be assessed to see how soon I can see a orthopedic surgeon for hip replacements & lower back (L3,L4 & L5 discs) surgery.. Have been given the okay for a visit to the orthopedic surgeon for the hips which will be around twelve months time. As for the back, well that's going to be assessed another time down the track to see another surgeon.. Not in a hurry for the back surgery as they said it may result in three discs being removed & steel rods inserted plus a twelve month recovery.. I'll be trying to hold off on that operation for sure.. I'll just have to be more selective where I fish in a river this season, trouble is the easy to get to waters never hold trout.. My doctor is finally back from overseas so I'll be paying him a few visits for a dose of injections again... 
There was a nice dumping of snow overnight on Black Bluff with more forecast, very clear skies up this was tonight too.. more likely a heavy frost than snow here at this stage.
Here's a photo I took this morning from the back yard, I'd sooner it had been a few photos of some trout..😀😃
 
cheers
Adrian

Your vid inspired me to get the old 2000/5000 grit stone out
 
after a bit of elbow grease, the knife is sharper than it’s been in a while
