Bass fishing was pretty good on the South Coast this year, with bass not hesitating to smash surface flies even on rainy days. Managed to find one my favorite sports to camp within a reasonable driving distance from Sydney, with an easy access to launch a kayak and with no other campers in sight.
Well, this was just pretty much just a drive through Barrington Coast looking for some water to fish. No secret most of the North Coast NSW had one of the wettest summers on record this year. Country side is looking lush and green which was a pleasure to look at. Drove past quite a few potential bass
The weather this summer has been pretty funny. I think on average we’ve had more rainy days than the sunny ones. That’s obviously affecting river water flows and most of them are flooded quite badly. Even though the forecast wasn’t looking promising this weekend as well, with some
Some pictures I haven’t posted on here yet from the hiking trip I did back in Spring to the Kosciuszko National Park. Such a wild, diverse and an overall awesome place, should be definitely on top of the list for anyone that likes mountains but are stuck in Australia and can’t travel anywhere
Another video from my spring time trip to the Kosciuszko National Park this year. After completing a hike on the main range, I then decided to spend couple of days wondering around the high plains and exploring the rivers and creeks there. Days were sunny and bright so trout were not easy to find. But most of the time it’s just a matter of putting some kilometers in and finally you’ll spot that gorgeous alpine trout hiding behind a rock. Happy watching.
Kosciuszko National Park is an amazing place to be and when you get there you wanna spend as much time as possible. Fishing this kind of pristine surroundings is as good as it gets. Finding a trout in those clear mountain streams is another story though. You really have to put in some kilometers and
Hiking the Main Range of the Kosciuszko National Park in spring has been on my list for years now, and finally I made it happen. Mountain peaks and some tracks are still covered in snow, alpine flowers are blooming and rivers are in a full flow – what an amazing sight to see and to wake up to. I put this short video together that hopefully captures the beauty of the Australian Alps and shows that the land Down Under is not only beaches and desert. Hope you’ll enjoy this one.
In the last couple of trips I had this tune constantly playing in my head when hiking in the Snowy Mountains or taking a steep route back to my car after day’s fishing for bass. I was never familiar with Eric Gales before it came up as a suggestion on Spotify. Song started with a really nice groove that drew my attention and some lyrics kicked in that had instant Jimmy Hendrix vibe to it. The song also guests one of my all time favourite guitar players Zakk Wylde. The solo that Zakk does on here after Eric goes ‘And also life continues to be a little wild A little Zakk Wylde…’ is such a good fit and marks the culmination of the song. Give it a listen, and maybe remember it next time you’re climbing a mountain or facing a hard time in your life, this song might help you to get through it a bit easier.
After having a doughnut chasing trout in the Blue Mountains I decided to give a crack on an early season bass and this way redeem myself. And what an awesome day it turned out to be. Spend the first half of the day casting bass vampire fly at all kinds of structures and not having a touch, I thought
This was my first trip to the Blue Mountains after the season has re-opened and I was itching to see how the rivers look like in the Spring. Especially after all this rain we had in last couple of months. Was great to see grass and trees so lush and green, and the river running in the best condition
