rikkigilbey Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 hey raiders!, so managed to get out a few times over the holidays and tried out my new kayak that the gf bought me (happy days) first trip took me up to foresters beach, where using whole and filleted pilies at sunrise and beyond i managed a few bream and a catshark of some sort (species ID would be welcome) my next adventures took me south to meroo, where i got to fish the beach during an amazing last sunrise for 2011, only to land one bream. top points for aesthetics though. and next to the beach was termeil lake where i got to try out my christmas present!! wohoooo! i kayaked around the lake for ages then decided to wet my first line from it. we found a nice spot where some tree stumps were submerged and using a free lined peeled prawn i landed this beauty, a 40cm bream that was golden from the lakes water, and a PB! was so happy. went on to catch a few more smaller bream, am so chuffed with the new kayak, cant wait to get it out on the harbour!! thanks for reading!

ashameller Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Dude great post! The kayak looks like an inflatable. Is it light? How would it go if you were to hook it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've not seen a bream that colour before. Congrats on both the PB and a kayak-buying girlfriend! I just got my kayak about 3 months ago and love it! In the last three months I have more than tripled my catch from all last year! Cheers, Rich.

rikkigilbey Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Dude great post! The kayak looks like an inflatable. Is it light? How would it go if you were to hook it? hey man thanks, yeah it is inflatable, its a rib like material but it would still be a bit of downer, in more ways than one, if a hook were to sink into it. gotta come up with some ingenious ways of keeping things on the boat without popping it! and yes its really light and folds down to around the size of micro wave which means i can load it onto me bike and im away!

arpie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Good on ya, Gilbey!! Way to go - tho I am not sure I'd take it too close to any oyster leases!! You'll be able to access areas that you just haven't been able to access before - your GF should get one now too, so you can both get out & about! Picnic on an island that you then walk the flats, fishing! You'll have SO MUCH FUN you'll wonder why you didn't get one ages ago! Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
