Did I or didn't I reach the 500th trout for 2018/19 season..

Post by meppstas » Wed Apr 17, 2019 9:43 am

Just needing another 13 trout to reach the 500th trout for the 2018/19 season I hit the small stream again today in the hope of getting it over & done with.. The little Mepps #00 gold Aglia did it's job well again even when the trout were a little fussy from time to time.. It was still very windy again today and I had a large gum tree come crashing down some 30-50 feet behind me early in the spin session..The wind did drop of as the afternoon went on which was good, The river had already dropped a couple of inches and was at the perfect height for spin fishing.. Did I reach the 500 today.. Well, I'm not telling you... you can watch my video to find out, the clue is at the very end of the video.."mushroom clip" I did go home with a feed of field mushrooms at the end of the day and they made for a beautiful cream of mushroom soup too.. .. :-D :-D

Hahahaha the mushroom is the most important.
Well done mate, good photos and video. What camera did you use?

Thanks guys... :thumbsup:

Seb85, I've just been using my small Canon SX620HS camera for both photos & videos, the camera is small and packs a lot of punch... I do have a helmet camera with remote control but have trouble getting my computer to download the footage so found it easier to use the video on the camera...
