heres the better one on camera
First Yak Fish (Hinze Dam)
Hey guys,
Finally managed to get out and do some fishing from the new yak,
Arrived at Hinze Dam at 5.00am and began the long paddle down towards the Island. Had a bit of a troll along Rays Run for nothing, then along the western side of the island. I found it very hard to know where to fish, after always being shorebased I was now confronted with so much water.
I ended up cruising around behind the island and throwing lures towards the bank, about 5 casts in bang! managed to land a bass touching on 38. Not huge but pretty happy for my first yak fish. I then learnt that using a camera and brag matt in a yak isnt as easy as I first thought, after scuffling around for a few seconds the fish managed to get loose and over the side, so no pics unfortunately.
I persisted with this and was pretty slow, so began to troll again and managed to land 2 more fish one probably 32-35 and one nearly as good as the first one.
Here are the pics, sorry about the quality, My camera is stuffed :x :x :x
but thats another matter, hey anyone nkow much about digi cameras???
