Thank's Jake .
I've only been down on that river in the middle of Summer when its been stinking hot .
That may explain the lack of fish spotted in the river .
Think I'll have to give it a go in the cooler months when the river is a bit cooler and deeper from the snow melt .
Cheers .
Good luck, I think this year the fishing will be brilliant once the tracks are open again.
i have been using a yak for a while now and its opened up a whole new world of fishing as its stealty you can fis very skinny water and traverse very shallow water
i mainly catch bass out of mine but chase esturay species and barra as well and over summer ill have a few trips chasing pelagics in the salt
make sure you get somthing that is stable as speed isnt that important as someone else suggested have a look akkf [austrailian kayak fishing forum ] lots of great info there re yaks
Iam not to keen on kayaks but love going out for a fish in a canoe, about to start building a 15 foot canoe with plywood using the stich & glue method.
Thats a - - 'big job' - - - Building your own Canoe ;)
Post up some pics of the process please - - when you get it started .
Ditto to what Kev0044 says. looking forward to the pics and reports on your progress. :)
Im onto my second Yak,the first was great for the creeks and dams,but since i live near the ocean ive gone to one of these Fishing and Angling Kayaks, Sit-on-top Kayaks, Malibu X-Factor
They might be a bit slow but its very stable,im 6'4" and i can stand up in it.As of monday im heading up to Lady Musgrave island and taking my Yak out with me,hopefully get amongst some Coral trout and a few pelagics.
