Port Hacking - winter kayak sesh

[fishkent]

I’ve been having fairly bad luck lately but my last morning kayak sesh was loads of fun. I’ve always been a lurker so sharing a report this time. 

- Trev 45cm 1.1kg - one of the best fights I’ve had on my kayak so far

- 1 pike 

- 1 salmon - I hooked this as another kayaker was rowing past which was pretty funny.

These were on 8 lb braid 8lb leader Zman grub in watermelon 1/12 jig head on a Infeet 1-3 kg rod.

I tried for squid near the marine rescue weed beds and in Doalns bay but had no luck and lots of snags, which I’m told is a good thing?
 - anyone have any tips of where to try for squid on a Kayak in the hacking. I’m still yet to catch one.

Good session, well done. Maybe try up SWA? Could be good for squid with the structure around the shoreline and the moorings.

Good effort from the yak, trevs at that size go hard on light gear, hard fighters.
