Thread: I will not take up Kayak fishing.

I've never had that problem fishing from my kayak on Tuross Lake.

In the last two weeks I have caught a couple of Jewie. Same spot, same rig, same bait and same time of day. If I hadn't eaten the first one, I would have said it was the same one the second time. It was exactly the same size.

The worst I've had is a Brown snake having a breather on my 'yak halfway across the Nth Pine River. Had a similar experience with a Red Belly at West Kunderang about 10-12 years ago although it never made it aboard because of some snappy paddle work from the other two blokes in the Scanoe. I don't mind snakes & was nearly wetting myself watching these rough, tough fishos

I first saw this photo in an African Geographic magazine a few years back and well and truly shook my head.

I thought of it when I saw the Youtube clip you posted the other night on TV.

Cheers,

Mate, I know I will probably be laughed down by the 'experts', but that sharks colour doesn't seem right.Perhaps it is the refraction of light, but I have seen a couple of white sharks, none had black backs. More like this, Bob

Hello again.

The beasties vary from grey through dark black, especially the ones off the South African coast. You see that in a lot of the photos of the sharks aerially taking seals off the beaches in False Bay in the Cape.

From all accounts the photo is genuine. However, I wasn't there.

Cheers,

And no Im not going fishing at sea in a plastic bathtub for anything!
