Ummm... what happens if you catch a decent fish? Wouldn't it tow you?

Hi there Wells:)
My brother and I both fish out of kayaks, he does alot more than me, he goes out to sea chasing snapper, mackeral, tuna etc.
Actually he is fishing right now:D
I mainly fish in the rivers, have been out to sea afew times but don't like the idea of tackling decent size swell and risking the loss of fishing gear etc.
I'll post some pics up later!!
By the way great looking kayak:)

mmmm towed away by a fish , sounds good . dont know if it would , you are probably right ,it might . thankfully we are only in the fresh water rivers and lakes so i guess the worst think that can happen is hooking a large cod . there getting to be few and far between though .

[dirtdawg]

go wet a line in the murray up around swan hill, plenty of cod up there

[dirtdawg]

looks good though, all you need now is one of thosed small electric motors lol

[wells]

yep ,an electric motor is the go , the solo man im not

I have caught quite a few flathead from kayaks and a 700mm barramundi from a canoe as well as a lot of trout from a canoe.
The barra was a bit interesting.
I haven't been game to go after anything really big.
I might try for some tailor and salmon soon.

That kayak looks identical to my old Lettman slalom kayak (except that it is in better shape).
It makes a great fishing kayak.

[wells]

yes ideal for flathead . i bet the barra give you a shock !

Wells,

Great Kayak!

Care to spill the beans (specs, price etc?) - we are looking for one. Looks like a 2 person?

[Roadrunner]

Looks good.
Have you seen those ?

With them you have both hands free. Sure they are not cheap.

Nice.
There is aguy in Esperance that fishes in the bay regularly in a kayak. He mainly targets the smaller species, such as herring, skippy, whitting and flathead. He actually won heaviest whiting in the Deep Sea Angling Classic this year so picked up a grand for his efforts. Only non powered vessel to take part too.
Cheers
Craig

what a great fish , i dont get to do enough salt water fishing , only on the family holidays , must make a sea change one day ,

[wells]

to answer your question isuzurover ,this one was bought second hand from a gararge sale . it was ony $100 but i fitted it out and had it re gelcoated etc . its a rossco and length is 3 mrt .i to would like a double one so the missis can padddle and i can fish . i guess i was just in the right place at the right time but you can be lucky ,

We use a Hobie "Mirage" Tandem and find it ideal for the paddling (Pedalling) we enjoy in creeks, rivers and backwaters. Both hands free for whatever and handy for fishing. The shot was taken at Jingellic on the Murray and the cod went 63cm, near to 5kgs and tasted absolutely fantastic. Not big enough to have much fatty deposits.
I am sure you will enjoy your kayak, as we certainly do ours.
