doobie

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.

Nice pick up of lures and a good price and all it took was a 'rumour' and a phone call.

Here's a photo of Dave with one of the many large wild browns he catches in the Tyenna River.... makes me green with envy, may have to go South for a weeks fishing I reckon..
 

Here's a few pic's of wild brown trout on the spawning run at the weir on the Tyenna River in the South of Tasmania.. Photos are by Tyenna Dave and I thank him for allowing me to share them with you all on the site.. Dave is one of the great trout fisho's in the South whether it be on the fly or lure fishing..

Daiwa are doing a massive clearout getting ready for this Seasons AFTA show to release the new daiwa products that are getting put onto the market. Generally now is a good time to pick up specials as they change item lines every 3 months to keep things fresh and updated

That actually explains a lot. I use these as well and had noticed about 2 months ago the price dropped from $20 to $10 in all local tackle stores. It might not be the only ones they are discontinuing either, as the same tackle stores had a few of there other smaller ones discounted to the same price. 

I heard the Daiwa were not producing the Gekkabijin Yoguri lure any more, well the small ones that I use any way which are the 4F models (42mm/ 2gm) floating hard body lures. So I rang Daiwa Australia to confirm it and they said "That's correct, they're being discontinued and they have 15 left in stock. If want them I'd have to be quick and get hold of a Daiwa seller and get them to get them in for me. Well I was quickly on the phone and was lucky enough to get twelve of the Ghost Brown ones that I use from Daiwa.. so i do have some nice trout lures to see me out for a while proving I don't get busted off too often like I did towards the end of the trout season when I lost two in two trips, then broke the bib of the only surviving ghost brown one. Now what's left of them are probably in tackle shops around the country..These were selling from $17-95 to $22-95 each and I picked them up for $11-95 ea which I was very happy with.. also came with free postage too..

The last 12 available from Daiwa..

You know how we like to say their bigger than they really are
 
He reckoned they were just under the kilo when he went past me - and they did look a good size from the distance when he caught them - bet he was a little disappointed

That bloke brought in those 2 salmon for weigh in...thinking they weighed a kilo each... both weighed under 600grams....
 
Still good little scrapers thats for sure....

just come back from sitting on those hard bum cushions on Sullies breakwater.
4 Mullet, 2 toadies and something that busted me off under the float.
(2 x 1kg salmon caught by a guy a little further away on soft plastics).

yes, was definitely meant in just in good humour Poppa  
Was just meaning, we fishermen work through any pain to just go fishing
But in reality it can't always be the case - and I too would be a little cautious, so hope you start getting on the mend soon and once all is right with you, you can start to get out for a fish

I will take that as good humour.........I think?
But when you are waiting on a knee replacement, have 2 bulging discs and had inflamed bursars in both shoulders well ya gotta be a little cautious 

Who's getting out for a flick over the weekend and what are you planning on chasing?
 
It looks like Sunday may be the better day weather wise with some rain forecast on Saturday morning. Also looks like winds will be picking up late morning on the Saturday.
 
Get out there and have a crack I say and don't forget to write up a report.
 
 

Not me. Solid mountain bike ride tomorrow will clear out  the week's troubles. Muddy and slippery trails to keep things honest too.
 
Tides a bit dodgey but better Sunday too.

between baby sitting grandies I was thinking about walking Snowdens with my first attempt at soft plastics. thoughts?

Do it mate, you'll love it. Possibility of Flatties, little KGW, Bream and ST's. The rocks at the marina entrance hold some good Bream that love plastics, but it is a snag fest area. Good luck.

I'll be fishing beers out of the fridge. 

This came from the pond the other day....
 

Wow!! great photo, his fishing pond, love to have that one in the back yard..

You can definitely take up photography during the closed Trout session

Here's a few photos from this morning as the weather changed from clear skies early before sunrise here in Sheffield..
