Clark Island

[MidNrthFisho]

Hey guys,

Being restricted to landbased fishing, I jumped on the opportunity for me and a friend to take two kayaks out fishing last Saturday from double bay. As the kayaks were quite small and unstable, we decided to paddle out to what we later learned to be clark island and fish off the rocks.

As far as fishing goes, has anyone had success (landbased or off a boat) around clarke island? It seems like a good place for squid, there were heaps of yakkas there, and given the relatively deep water from the shore I thought there may be a chance of a king or other pelagics? We were fishing on the eastern side and only managed two leather jackets.

Was just wondering if it was worth giving it a go, as besides not catching much it was beautiful day out there! What was funny was that after having live yakkas out for a few hours on clark island, I managed to catch my first legal kingy on my 8lb bream/flathead rod whilst trolling a soft plastic behind the kayak on the way back to double bay. All my best catches seem to come when I least expect it!

Cheers guys

There is a big wreck about 100 meters off the eastern side. it holds jewies and kings from time to time. can fire at times.
