[More Lures Than Fish]

Finally onboard a yak. What a way to travel! I have learned lots from this forum - helped me narrow my choice down to a Malibu X-factor (with Gator-seat) versus the Hobie Tandem. After trialling the Hobie I was sold.

Loved light-line lure-fishing for brown trout in thin, fast, tough waters in Victoria - but now in Perth, WA and trout are 100's of K's away & the rivers rather sad looking in summer.

Been keeping the fishing bug under control wade-fishing for bream & flathead in the Swan on HB's - SB's get chewed in no time by blowies.

Been out in the Hobie in the Swan a half dozen times and have caught herring & tailor trolling a Rapala - no flathead or bream yet.

Already had magic moments with dolphins and a seal-lion so far. Stealing-up for a shot at the ocean when the winds are low.

Looking forward to contributing when I get my skill levels up.

Welcome to the forum MLTF, great to see another WA yakfisho making an appearance.

Good luck with the hunt for more species. First fish I ever caught from a yak (many years ago) was a bloody big flathead on bait , along Blackwall Reach somewhere. And when you get out onto the wide blue, you'll really be hooked.

May catch you on the water somewhere.
