Cid Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 After setting off at 6:15am and getting my first fish, a 45cm Flattie, at 6:17am, I felt like it would be a good day! I was heading to some of my favourite pontoons near Oatley to catch a few bream and I was trolling a couple of HB's as I made my way there. I reset the lures after the flathead and 5 minutes later I came up tight on this girl. It took me 15 minutes to land her and after a quick hello I slid her back into the water to fight another day. And it was all caught on film too, which will go into the DVD I'm filming. I still had a grin from ear to ear when I started going for bream and they were obviously keen to play, too. I landed 7 keepers all up, the biggest going 34cm fork length, most caught on berkley 6" Sandworms (Camo). This was obviously one of my best days on the water from the kayak. Here's hoping many more follow. cheers, Cid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Great job, Cid!!! Can't wait to see the DVD! That's a great fish in anyone's language - good to hear that you had some success. I'm envious. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillrockn Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 WooooHoooo!!! Great day's fishing there Cid . Nice Jew Congratulations. Go the Yak Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmare Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) Hi Cid, Congratulations. Well done. Which hardbody lure did the job on the jew? Always amazed at the size of fish that can be caught from kayaks and canoes -- often shows the bigger boat fishos up. Sit-on-top type kayaks seem to be gathering a big following. What type of yak is yours? Regards, Bob Edited June 1, 2006 by kenmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinMadness Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Nice pic mate, really shows off the colour of a jew - well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Great stuff mate! Did she pull you backwards? I remember when I went on a fishabout tour with my dad and the whole day I was hanging to see one of the kayakers hook into a decent sized kingy - apparently that is a sight to be seen!

Guest madsmc Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 That's a great catch from the yak Cid, I'll bet she towed you around a bit too. Well done on a top days fishing. If you don't mind me asking, what HB did the jew take a liking to? Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cid Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Thanks for the comments everyone. The HB was a Juro Pygmy (red/yellow) that had the hooks upgraded with size 14 owner stingers. Luckily for me there was no structure around so I could take it fairly easily and with the Hobie I could pedal around a bit so as to keep the tension side-on. I was using a pflueger medallist reel matched with a Trion rod and 4lb fireline and 6lb leader. As you can see, I was chasing bream and flatties, so I feel extremely priveleged to have been able to land her. cheers, Cid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cid Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi Fisherman-Dan, Yep, it's based on kayak fishing around the Sydney environs. Concentrating on bream, bass, flathead, kingfish, tailor, salmon .... and JEWIES! It wont be released until December though as we've just started shooting it. cheers, Cid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrasseman Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Wow, that would have been incredible in the yak, even a halfway decent trout can drag me around in mine, I don't reckon that beast would even know it was dragging something. Great stuff. Cheers col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
