Teach Someone How To Catch Fish And........

Hit the river with a mate (who was a novice to fishing from his tandem yak) this morning at 7:30am armed with a bucket of good sized poddies. Rigged my mate up with one of my outfits and we drift fished the run out for a couple of 40ish flatties coming in early. After an hour I had a heavy hit and the 3lb gelspun was screaming. After a short tussle, a 69cm fatty came to the yak. Camera batteries were flat so I couldn't manage any on yak shots and resorted to the kitchen sink morgue shots Scored another 50cm specimen then had a subtle hit which I brought in effortlessly until the yak was in sight. Some acrobatics and a 65cm porker was in the yak. My mate was amazed at the result of 2 hours fishing and on our last drift he scored his first flatty at 52cm and was stoked. He is now addicted and I went down to my local tackle shop (which is closing down) and bought him a nice little outfit for $100 and some gelspun that he will christen soon (probably next week!). I kept 3 fat fish for my family and he had 3 on his BBQ tonight. My lures are feeling rejected atm and the local poddies are looking over their shoulders nervously.

Great session Jenno... isn't it amazing how used to having the digital camera around we've become? It's a real bugger when you reach for it and it's not there or not working. Nice looking condition on those fish mate.

Cheers, Slinky

Great report Rob. Fantastic feeling getting a newbie onto some fish, isn't it?

Fishing has quitened down here, especially on sp's, but the surface fishing has just started to pick up! Make sure you pack some surface lures for Easter

Cheers
