doobie

Good on you Adrian on trying to repair it and now hope it stands up to those fierce trout you catch.
 
I'm sure it will have different effect in the water with the slightly different angle - who knows, it might prove to be the best lure you have

Some time back during the brown trout season I had three new Daiwa Gekkabijin Yoguri 4F hard body lures of which two were lost to fish taking then into snags under water and the last one 
finished up with a broken bib thanks to me... It was during a session while fishing low water that had a lot of cotton like algae in it and it kept fouling the lure. After some forty minutes of fishing and 
cleaning the algae from the lure on every retrieve I belted the lure on the water surface to clean it the quick & easy way. Trouble is, by doing that it broke the small bib off the lure  making it useless.
So today I thought I'd have a go at repairing it  myself by making a bib and gluing it in place. Using a hacksaw blade I made a small cut where the bib had broken off flush just in front off the eye and then found a small thin piece of clear plastic which I hand filed to a shape that I thought may work. Didn't think to get one of the new replacement lures out to see  what they looked like which was dumb.. any way made on and glue it into place and it came up reasonably well.. I think it did as I'm yet to test it out and I will do that once the season reopens on 5th August.. here's a photo of the original lure and the one that's been repaired.
The repaired lure has a little more angle to it than the new lure..

KIDNEY SLAPPER with his report ANOTHER DAY AT WORK a work day that we all wish for. Onya mate, a couple of good reports coming through from you and also the rest of the guys that are braving the cold at the moment.
 
Until next comp, tight lines!!!

just read a very informative current post of Hopkins on Breammaster in the anglers tavern section...well worth a look

Should be a great trip. Ill keep a look out for your hat doobie.

A good paddle around anyway and will be interesting on your next trip to see if they are on the bite with a different tide level etc.
 
With the cold weather I bet the 'toy' had shrunk' !!

That's it I put all the info in the little black book and try again on Saturday and the adult toy was one for a male as well I took a flick to post on here but thought there may be youngsters on here so decided against it but was definitely one of the weirder things I've seen on a fishing trip lol

Good to take note of the mulloway and such sitting around and what stage of the tide it was. A different tide stage and they may come on the chew around the mullet congregations.
As for the other things.... Well. Ideally wouldnt want to foul hook one of those

Went down to port gawler yesterday I managed 2 undersized bream and a st. but had a great day paddleing around in the yak and spotting a crazy amount of fish just none of them hungry.
I would have seen hundreds of mullet, bream and about a half dozen mulloway against the bank.
But also unfortunately spotted some toys of the adult variety sitting in the shallows only at or gawler I guess.

Hi, my dad has been playing around on you tube recently and has uploaded some of his footage (fishing and non fishing)from around the place. Have a look if you have some time. Most of the descriptions are in Polish but you'll get the picture..

It would have been nice just sitting there without a care in the world - quiet and just listening to nature and you can't beat that

Seeing it was a cool sunny day and I was feeling a little bored I two my two cameras to Gowrie Park in the hope if may find some fungi to photograph..
 
Well I did manage to find a few fungi here and there as I wandered through the rain forest in what was very cool, damp conditions just below Mt. Roland. I just love going there as the air always smells fresh as ever..
 
O'Neils Creek which flows through it had a nice flow to it as well and It was great to sit on a log next ti the fern lined creek for some 15 minutes and take it all in.. very refreshing for the mine, body & sole..
 
So here's a few of some 50+ photos taken this afternoon... There wasn't a real lot of fungi around today which was a shame.. still got a few good photos I think..
 
cheers
Adrian
 



O'Neils Creek at Gowrie Park..
 











All the fungi I found today, not a lot but enough for some photos..
 


A couple of moss pic's
 

Took all the colour out of this and filtered out the red which made them pure white..

Wow, and to think we get this in Aust too...very cool. Looks like some stills out of an Atten-bro documentary.
 
 
Certainly is an ugly fellow. The smaller ones are beautiful fish, especially when properly photographed    !
 
Agree. I could sit down with a bottle of red. Beat the TV any day.

That is one big brown, almost looks abnormal
 
Good photos of the trout run and would be great sitting there watching them try to jump the obstacles.
