          Looks like good Bass territory. I saw a beaut of a sea trout jump about 5 meters from my rod tip whilst fishing for Bass last week....

            Popped out for a quick 30 minutes at high tide today. Not massive, and no way of gauging its size in the photo, but a lovely fish. Put back to live another day....

              Just catching up with the thread and there’s been some awesome fish caught. @Mizmazzle you're living my dream fishing the locations you do for amazing species of trout!

              My season was quieter than normal but I had some great fish when I did get out. The salmon was landed on a high bank and was released straight after the photo. It was a good year for them this year which makes a change.

                  @Mizmazzle yeah all in all not a bad season. I didn’t get to fish much after mid June due to house renovations though. Our first born is due next March so I’ll probably fish even less next season.

                  Despite that I messaged Chris Barclay for one of his small stream specials.. 6’4” 3/4 blank rolled in Japan, Kineya hardware and a curly birch reel seat from Finland, guides etc from the states and built in NC by Chris. I might get to fish it in a couple years! 😂

                              Hi I treated myself to a new light/ultralight 2-10 gram spinning rod for Christmas and caught my first January bass in the harbour. Caught on 3 gram jig head with a Berkley gulp worm 6lb braid 5lb flouro leader and a slow retrieved. This year I’m going going smaller and lighter in a hope to catch more fish.

                                  Is that shimano soare rod perhaps? I think I have the same reel. Bought myself a christmas present aswell. Super shallow spare spool and a heftier knob. Not a huge fan of ultra thin knob of 2000 vanquish. Going to be a long long winter before I get to use these 😞

                                    Oh, we're talking new tackle are we. Just bought one of these (in Japan for about 1/2 western price), the S86XX Longcast.

                                    I am absolutely fascinated with the RG Guide System, and can't wait to give it a go...

                                          @Giles sent me this picture the other day of an FG fishing knot. In my eyes it looks damn good and something that I will start practicing for joining leaders to braid.

                                            Thank you. Could be better. A few too many wraps, the braid is better when it has "melted" into the fluoro for the whole length of the knot....
