Headed out for an impromtu session this morning from fishys beach. Headed out around 9am in nice conditions... The Southerly was chopping up the water just nicely, but was just calm enough for a n00b like me to feel safe.

I trolled a variety of sp's and one or two hb's for a total of 3 flathead and one rudder! the flatties were all between 26cm and 30cm and preffered the dark grey powerbaits, slow trolled. All went back in for good luck.

The revo held up well in the conditions. I stayed pretty dry considering the conditions and had a nice old time trolling for flatties...

All in all it was great to get my first fish in my yak... All I need now is to figure out how to make one of those fancy signatures to add my pb's to..

Cheers

Ivan

Congrats on getting scales on the yak. May there be many more

Good on ya, Evarn. A big congrats on the first fish in ya yak. The flathead were getting to a reasonable size and letting em go only means they'll be bigger next time. Did the rudder put up much of a fight? Sometimes ya gotta go back to shore to continue the battle.

Ahh - flatties - the yak fishers godsend - as far as ease of hooking them - but not landing them

Troppo. The rudder put on a bit of a show.. he went left, then right, then flipped up onto the stern.. hehehe... then i cut him off

I've attached a map of my trip too so you can all see where I've fished...

Congrats Evarn, you're in a great stretch of water down that way, those fish are the first of many I reckon

Viva evarn, well done mate. Although the champagne should have been broken across the bow, ya trip map looks like I should be making the glug glug noise. Squidder's got a great little fillet technique to leave those flattie tails boneless...just takes a litttle bit of time to gather and clean :wink:
