Hi All, and glad to be a member

Post by meppstas » Mon Sep 09, 2013 1:28 pm

My name is Adrian and I'm 68yrs of age and was born at Alberton, Sth Aust one street back from the Port Adelaide Football Club. Lived, worked & fished in the Pt Adelaide area until 1990 then moved South to Sellicks Bch for 10 yrs before making the move to Sheffield, Tasmania in 2000, a move that was the best of a life time.
Have been trout fishing rivers for around 50 yrs or so now and still love it as much today as I did when I first started. I am a spin fisher and always have been and use the metal blade spinners in various models & colours. Did a lot of snapper, whiting & rock fishing also when I lived in Sth Aust. Now I just concentrate on trout fishing the rivers here in Tassie 4 -5 days a week. So that hopefully will give you a little insight to me and I'm glad to be a member of this site. Hope that my input will give you some good reading and get you out into a river as well.
cheers
Adrian

It's fishing heaven in the apple isle isn't it??? Looking forward to more of your reports.

We are heading to Tassie over the Christmas break and can't wait to wet a line or two while I am there.

G'day and welcome Adrian, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

It's not always about catching a fish,
sometimes it's about getting out and
saving your sanity.
