Great Groper mate well done!
I could only imagine the power they must put on!
I caught a 50cm pig on an FSU 4 wrap and i was blown away by the power.
Surely a groper would be a pig x 3

Hi Kael, the biggest brown I have pulled out of there so far has been just a smidge under 6lbs and about 56 to 58cm in length measured next to the rod and checked at home as I dont carry a tape with me .A shortish fish for the weight but the condition was superb!I have seen a few fish around that size in the approx 2km stretch that I fish which is pretty amazing really considering it is a popular spot and very easy access.Unfortunately the last time I was there a spin fisherman was keeping pretty much everything that he caught of a reasonable size and although totally within his rights to do so I dont know how long it will take for these fish to be replaced naturaly.cheers Jamie
Wow that sounds like very good condition (very fat). I actually was quite suprised at the condition of this fish had very thich shoulders and heeps of stamina.
It is a pity folks take such fish, surely if you are looking for a feed the 30-35cm stocked rainbows are your best bet for the smoker.

Hear, Hear
I have a SA cleaning pad that I use with soaky warm water.
Then treat the line with conditioner.
makes a huge difference

why don't you just online shop them from Japan?
I get a lot of my lures genrally for about $15-20AUD.
Another good trout lure is the ecogear mx48 (in brown or rainbow trout colour of course)
Remember trout in Aus don't get big by eating insects, they will always snack on a little trout

Easy as i mostly target bream and bass here they are
1. Lucky Craft NW Pencil is suji shrimp
2. Smith Camion sr in brown trout
3. 2" powerbait grub in pumpkinseed
4. Bassday Kangoku Vib

Gday Kael, great brownie you have got there, I have been fishing the coxs for a while now and have had some luck with browns and rainbows to 6lbs, mostly on the fly but spun a few up using celtas as well.Great to see lyell with some water but I think the skiiers will over run the place for the rest of summer making the fishing difficult.Went to coxs river last week but it was in full flood, might give it a go in a few days when the flows have settled a little.Be nice to catch up for a fish if you have some spare time, cheers jamie
Wow 6lb from the Cox's what length to they get too?
Always thought the Cox's would proper from some good flows, have you fished it for spawners?

Very well marked fish there Australian browns have prettier spots than NZ ones though the sea runners here are pretty.
in the water it looked very pretty! have not seen one in the flesh for ages and it sure had good condition for a river fish

Hi Raiders,
Seems like ages since I have posted a report (sorry) so here goes.
Had a very rare weekend off so decided to hit my beloved central west targeting trout for the first time with a spin rod.
Figured my bream and bass skills would be too much for those wiley trout.
Good news is the drought has well and truly broken and what a site was Lyell, full to the brim!
Made my way to my fav stretch of the fish and was greated by semi flood brown water
Flicked some lures but it was soon clear I would not have any luck in this torrent.
Gave Lyell a shot but too many V8 ski boats and howling wind.
I really thought of heading home and going breaming but I had one more river to try. The good old Cox's was my last stop and while it too was dirty and flowing at least there was some slower sections to have a flick.
Out of the dirty water had a follow from a rainbow and this gave me hope as I made my way upstream. I was targeting back eddy's and snags with a mx48 and pretty soon in a nondescript pocket the lure was inhailed by a monster brown
The fight was on as the buck brown rolled over the leader but thankfully stayed out the raging current. Every time I got him close he would surge away, eventually I just grabbed him as the fight was going on too long. I dumped him on the grass and took these pics, a beautiful wild Brown Trout 51cm and 1.6kg, not bad Kael

good work, i still can't get over how hard a pig can pull
just a little bit south of you we got some nice drummer 45cm.
we were using pealed prawns from coles (cheaper than bait)
did you use berley?

I have owned two of these and for the money they are unbeatable
agree with slinky, go for greased carbo washers in all your reals and you won,t go back.
just email dawn at http://www.smoothdrag.com/
and she will post them too you.
Also use cals grease on the drags washers it is like butter soo smooth!!

Good Fish...... and a great looking outfit
Squizy
It is a nice outfit, in fact it is my favourite and it was built for exactly this purpose.
The blank is an ATC IC601 (2-5kg XFast, High Modulus Graphite). Components include Fuji ACS seat and Titanium Framed SIC guides. Flor grade cork rings and gunmetal and gold windings.
Which matches perfectly my Daiwa Alphas Type R. The whole combo weighs just 260grams and will cast lures down to 4grams beautifully.
I am still getting the hang of baitcasting and birdnests are common with the magforce switched off (which is the way I like to pitch lures), but overall it is simply a joy to use.
Cheers

congratulations Roberta
your first fly trout is always one you will remember
nice size too at 44cm
trout realy are funny fish, they have an almost mistical ability to vanish.
one second they are feasting on a hatch next minute the 1foot pool is barren or all life
sometimes it realy is amazing to catch one because you start believing there are no fish
well done again
