First Yak Outing

[micksfishn]

hit devlins lane today on the yak to break her in hoping for a bass or 2 but not to be big fat zero 4 me covered a lot of ground (just ask my shoulders)great paddle but found some really nice places that should hold some fish try again next time with the yak in the shed again and not happy with the fishing went to the local bakery got a loaf of bread and hit the weir a quick 2 hour job with 5 mullet landed and heaps of pulled hooks didnt measure them but got some pics

Bad luck on the Bass Mick, sounds like it was slower than Saturday morning - but stunning mullet (if you will excuse the joke)

my yak is quite similar, im surprised you didnt score any bass down devlins, they usually jump into the yaks own there.

great work on the mullet though they seem to be everywhere at the moment and boy are the yellow eyes great fighters compared to the bullies.

Hi Mick

Great to see you are on the water in your yak - same colour as mine!! Good Mojo!! Shame on the bass not reading the rules, but they will come ..... but well done on the mullet front! They are the most fun on light gear & taste great when fresh. THey also smoke up beautifully too, or use them for bait as well!!! Multi uses!

Re your paddling, dont forget to have the entry point for your paddle, basically, where your feet are & draw it along the side of the yak & exit it at about your hip - you should be making a big "X" in the air in front of your face & turning your whole upper body during the procedure, not just your shoulders twisting left & right.

A bit of padding on the seat may help prevent the sore bum syndrome, too (that compressed foam stuff they use for Pilates mats is great!)

Happy paddling!!
