Central Coast Kayak Fishing

Recommended Posts

Hi Raiders,

I hadn't been Kayak fishing in a long time, so decided to dust off the kayaks and head to the central coast. With uni starting again, it is hard to find the time to fish, so any chance i have to get out is cherished and enjoyed.

Left the house after the morning traffic had subsided a bit and made the journey to central coast. Got there and started setting up and rigging up.

I was using a mix of baits and plastics to target some flatties. I used either squid or pillies on a paternoster rig and also worked some squidgy bloodworm wrigglers and some berkley gulps. I drifted over an area that I have caught flathead from before, fished for about 2.5 hours and mainly caught undersized ones.

By the end of the session managed 2 legal Flathead both going 40cm. One was caught on a half pillie and the other on the bloodworm wriggler.

Not as productive as some of the other trips but still managed a feed. And it was just nice being out on the water, I love boat fishing and land based fishing but sometimes kayak fishing can be the most enjoyable. Its just a different feeling being so close to the water.

I did record the trip and edited a little video, so I hope you guys enjoy it. Haven't edited in a while so I am a bit rusty.

Cheers

Thanks for the report and video Sam. Very professional as always. What was the music clip? It's a bit repetitive, yet catchy and upbeat, which made it highly suited to the video clip. Cheers, bn

Thanks BN, much appreciated.

The one part of editing i always struggle with is music selection. I found it on youtube and thought it would suit the theme of the video. But I couldn't find another song, so I just repeated the same one haha. Its a song by Alan Walker, I think.

Top Video, do you find that soft plastics work better or bait?

Both work really well, I try both and see which works on the day.

Some days only bait works, other day only plastics. Some days both.
