thehairynurse Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Bought a second hand yak last week and this morning was my first chance to see if it floated. Went out to an area id never fished before on a tide i normally wouldnt favour in the estuaries -low rising. But thats the window i had so i took it. Figuring out how to setup still i kept it simple with 2 rods - one a soft plastic, the other a hb that woukd troll as i paddled round. A light headwind against the tide reminded me im the wise side of 45, and a few teething problems with the rudder made the going adventurous, but i got to the furthest i planned on going - a deepish channel next to a flat with a mangrove island. Nothing hit the hb, so i started throwing the plastic. 3 casts in I was rewarded with a small flatty. Few more and smashed by a bream. Added some scent snd hooked another flatty - prob going 40-45cm which went into the esky. Gave it another 30 min before i had to head home. Not a bad morning 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 A couple of nice fish to make the day. One thing about those naked legs - do not drop an angry flattie in there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
