doobie

Tried that, found I was collecting my floating belongings too often!

nothing wrong with the bogan way lol

I've seen a 'table' spiked into the shallows / flats, probably as I've never fished the flats up North for those calm water conditions.
 
A S&M member here, 'Underpants', has a floating bucket to put the fish in, tackle and rod holder.
 
A possible thought anyway.
 

lol, woops ..... yeah I'll be there

lol, woops ..... yeah I'll be there

A few more shots of the axles: 20&25mm electrical conduit, endcaps & saddles. Self tapping screws to hold the saddles & endcaps onto the axles. Saddles - short bolts with nylon locnuts thru the base of the tub. Axles wear out from sand working its way in so need replacing as needed. I went stainless not marine grade, cheaper and easy to replace.
 
Cant claim the fame tho, the design is Mozzie's from Gotcha Tackle (he usually has them for sale going into our crabbing season). Ive just personalised it.

Have to agree Bjorn, not many reports coming through.
 
Seems a bit slower this year on the Salmon, even though some good ones have been caught.
 
Remember that a great prize is up for grabs in the S&H competition that  includes Spotters cap, sun shade, sunglasses strap and a pair of awesome SPOTTERS FURY (Gloss Black) with Halide lens.
 
Give us a great report, photos and / or video of your Salmon sessions to be in with a chance of winning this great Spotters prize.
 
And of course check out the site from Spotters www.spotters.com.au for putting up this prize for S&H members.

Not many salmon reports going up? Are people finding any salmon out there at the moment?

The webcams can certainly help with decisions about whether to go or not and as Salty says it shows the wind, rain and sometime the sunshine

so I wont bother about popping around then as it will be definately gone by then   but hope you enjoyed

Did a batch over the last 2 days, it's nearly gone already 

Adrian,  very nice set up of web cams covering some of the Major Lakes.
 
Also a very different account of weather conditions as well ... wind, rain and in some, sunshine ..
 
Nice

Just thought this site may be of some interest to the members on the site.. I know these are web cams set on a variety of lakes here in Tasmania, but I've found them to be quite interesting as one slowly moves the cursor across the screen. There are several  changes of weather conditions and a variety of boats and fishermen that move past the camera as you slowly scroll across the screen.. This was on opening day here in Tassie.. August 5th.. plenty of fisho's braving the cold weather..     not this little black duck, he's staying home in the warm.. it's now blowing at 45 KPH here..
 
cheers
Adrian

Yuuuum. I need to go fishing with you blokes

Will also add that when you do find topside out cheap is to ask them to slice for you .
 
  I will normally ask for around 2mm thick sometimes they have done it free but the most has been $1 per kg.
 
  Don't forget that a smoker will also do a great job with added flavour.
 
  I normally will do a batch of 2kg in the smoker and when I do find the cheap meat I will marinate into batches
  and put into the really big ziplock bags and freeze really saves a lot of time and mess

Got my dehydrator today. 1kg top side. Only used about 500grams filled 7 trays. Chilli cumin and salt flavor dry rub on 3 trays others ones a marinade of soy sauce black vinegar olive oil and assorted herbs and spices. Should have jerkey tomorrow morning.

Nice pictures Adrian and just when I thought I was getting use to the cold here in Adelaide you just mad me even colder all of a sudden

It can certainly get thick up there Barney... and very cold too..
 

Nice pictures , I have never been to the snow ,looks very peaceful . Once in Mt pleasant we had sleet and it was kind of magical ,

Adrian , there are some absolutely cracking shots of the SNOW , in and around your area ...
 
Some of my family have NEVER seen SNOW ...
 
Still .... looks very COLD ...

Reminds me of why I wanted to settle in Darwin, but Pam did not like the humidity, funny how it did not effect her when we lived in Malaysia. Great pics as usual Adrian. Saw way too much snow down there when we did our snow survival training at Cradle Mountain.
