Konica TC-X

-
The Konica TC-X was a 35mm SLR film camera which was manufactured between 1985 and 1987 by Cosina for Konica, not by Konica themselves. The TC-X featured a shutter-priority, through-the-lens automatic exposure mechanism. The body of the TC-X was completely made of plastic. In 1983, it was not clear if the market would accept such a plastic camera as there were doubts concerning ruggedness and durability.

Thanks to a sweet tip from a fellow angler, I found a new urban creek to explore. It's actually more of a canal, but hold water year round and is absolutely loaded with chunky green sunfish, up to 12 inches. I lost track of how many scrappy greenies I landed in a short afternoon fishing session at this Inland Empire creek.  Since then, I've returned several times, always landing loads of these sunfish. I've also spotted a couple of turtles, many mosquito fish, and a couple small largemouth, along with the obligatory pile of litter and trash. Urban creek fishing at its finest hmm?

Spent a lot of time this last weekend at the beach, not only trying out my new M20 action camera,but also a couple of fishing products. One was the YOLO Fishing Bite Alarm, and the other a Yoshikawa 7ft collapsible pack rod. The bite alarm reminded me of the old carp bite alarms I used to use, but unfortunately it didn't work as well. The Yoshikawa rod is fantastic, definitely one I'll be using in the future! These are both courtesy of Gearbest, and you can find them here: Yoshikawa travel fishing rod:http://goo.gl/bNivhs Yolo Bite Alarm: http://goo.gl/oHLIm4 Other Gearbest fishing products:
