Well I just received a couple of special high quality hard body lures today and they certainly look great and beautifully finished..
They're a well presented brown trout lure that I'm sure will suck quite a few trout in next season.. I'm really looking forward to giving them a good workout in the rivers & streams here in Tassie..
cheers

Should have walked a bit further to anaconda and got the strike pro ones.  

Was 5 of us out on the kayaks today for 3 fish between us. Crap day but thankfully I got one of them going 44cm.

Here's another of my videos as the season drew closer to closing... wasn't a bad spin season with a few wild brown trout being caught... At the end of the spin season I said the biggest trout was a 455 gram brown. it wasn't I forgot about the 485 gram brown I caught... Long day in the water, had a brain fade at the end of it..😜

Everyone went to Yorkes.. they have already started whinging about it on the previews for the news tonight of the line up.  

Added the pattern onto some of them this morning. 
Stencils are the best thing ever to add another dimension to lures... added 3 different stencils to 3 different baits... 
Just needs sealant then clear coat Nd eyes and they are ready to smash PBs 😎😎



The middle one is my favourite out of the lot!

Fished in the kayak metro local yesterday, Got a nice feed of trouties. Water like glass and only saw about 4 boats. Seems like everyone else went somewhere. Never seen so few people for a long weekend 

I hit up Southport beach yesterday with a mate for 1 ST in about 4 hours 🤣 it was busy but not too packed. I only saw a few ST's caught down there.
On the walk back a die hard fisho said they emptied Mt Bold reservoir which could have been the cause of the slow day. I just checked on that and it seems that they drained it a month ago.

So update on Softys Callop Lures. 
After i had applied the base coat of Yellow i added pearl orange to the sides of the lure....
 

 
I then added Pearl Pineapple to the belly to give the yellow a little more pop!
Then i added an colour called Detail Sepia which is an dark brown. I added it to the top of the bait


 
I have now used an transparent sealer over the top of the bait so i can add the stencil pattern tomorrow. The sealent is just a safe guard when using stencils that it doesn't scratch or damage the paint... 
So tomorrow the pattern is gonig to go onto the lure then from there it will just need eyes and completed. 
I also have done two different Purple colours that i will be inverting the 2 purples on each of the baits with a criss cross pattern. Hard to explain but will show once finished.... 




 
Both purple baits will be finished with black backs and black around the eyes.
 
If you think there are other colour combinations you'd like to see be sure to let me know i still have another 15 of these blanks and i also have plenty of colours to choose from

Wasn't to bad heading to the mid North apart from one turkey doing 80kmh causing a 20 car line up behind him for like 30km

Wonder how much wastage there is. But I guess the money they save on Labour they would be well ahead

There's always one, but thought your Patrol could this.   Obviously it couldn't do everything  
 
Look forward to seeing all the photos - good luck, especially for a Cod

I have a 'fishing chalet' at Port Moorowie.  Heading there and hoping for good weather.
I'll try to do 2 shifts in Edithburgh Sea Rescue Radio Room, to make up for recent unavailability due to broken leg....
