Ill gotten gains? Fleeing the 'Man'? Tell me more!

Pretty jelous Victor, Luckily I only have to wait one more week before my yak gets all salty... You say a big bream eh?

Well done and thanks for hooking him up Tryhard, Was nice to meet you the other day Victor and I admired your yak too... Was very hard to wipe up the drool when I was trying to chew Fundas ear off! 8)

Nice report and well done guys,

BREAM! <drool>

Matttt Matttteee,

Always love hearing about the fiesty Forster fish and the trials and tribulations of the trusty Towadi thingy.

I know that the Lake Police SK Pop was on your list of fav's. It is now on mine!
Don't want to hijack your thread but thought I would post a pic of the popper in action. This bream was caught on the first ever cast of the lure! (One that was donated to me by lureworld for competing at the Hobie bash bash). Besides two little flaties and one bream does not a trip report make!

Keep the posts coming

Great outcome Matt for both you and Victor.

Noticed one of the other blokes had a Towadi at Hinze Dam last week so they are being trialled in the fresh as well

Matt, ya gotta stop going out and catching fish mate, especially trifectas, and using THOSE lures, every time you put in a report , i have to run off to the tackle shop for more lures, now i need SKPOPs , will it ever end, and i have not even caught a trifecta , hmmmm wonder how they cook up

 

[bazzoo]

alright Matt, i surrender, who make the SK POPs, i feel a trip to lureworld coming on, if i ever get up to foster, i will have all the right gear, as a matter of fact we will have identical gear boxes, and no matter how hard i try , i still cant find that trifecta fish, must come from "sekret underboaten fisching spot" :? :? :?

Thank you TryHard and the "Lady"!

Contacted Tryhard to see if there was a chance of a Yak Fish while I am in Forster, the answer was the freindly YEEEEEEES.

Early start planned, 5:30 in the morning and I felt excited but bleary eyed. The night before I set my Moble alarm to 4:00 in the morning to make sure I was ready. Could I sleep ... nope! I kept waking ever hour looking at my phone "is it time yet ... is it time yet".

Finally woke up feeling I haven't slept at all. Worked my way to little street in Forster to meet an another AKFF Yakker in person for the first time, knowing what the Yak looked like but not the person. After the initial hello and G'day's and we both feeling a little easier we unpack our gear and get ready for a great morning paddle and fish. Loaded up with a couple of poppers recommended by tryhaard and the local tackle shop, thinking this is going to be many firsts for me this morning. Salting my P13, using poppers, hopefully catching fish and making some PB.

After Tryhard introduced me how to work a popper by catching a bream near the launch site, my eyes start widend some more and feeling I was in good hands. One thing I did discover I need to update my rods for more lighter action using poppers. I could only cast 3 meters or so on a 4 gram lure ... make note another trip to the tackle shop, don't tell the boss!

After getting some pratice in we started to head of to some magic spots that tryhard has set for the morning.

First spot, tryhard is giving me instructions ... paddle to the right cast to left just over there ... good cast! YOU got a bream! smile on my face a bream, and its massive 33 cm (PB) and on a popper! Now tryhard gives me the good and the bad news ... "congratulations" and "you are now on your own" and takes the lead. This starting to be a great morning. :lol: :lol:

Fishing the flats and flkating with the current, casting the popper and concentrating ... come fishy fishy. I look up Tryhard smiles I got a trifecta. :shock:

A little later and wee bit of luck ... a Lizard ... a quinella another PB 42 cm Flatty

This was a good morning. We moved to the next spot trying for flatties using soft plastics. The spot seems very quiet and appears to be several untagged crab traps, not looking good boats coming through spooking the fish.

We move on with a bonus :roll: and continue fishing.

Time is rolling on we stop on a sand flat to stretch our legs and notice whitting around us. The Poppers are out, whitting where not interested they where just happy teasing us.

The morning is gone an is about time we paddled back (against the current and wind) with a good morning fishing.

So pics to wet the mouth ...

Tomorrow some bottom bashing (mum's XMAS present) and hopefully another outing with tryhard.

I have been salted! :lol: :lol:

Merry XAMS

Victor

great report guys, and glad to hear that cletus isn't the only one brave enough to go fishing with tryhard :roll:

 

[justcrusin]

Excellent fishing Matt and Victor and a good report too.
Congrates on the trifecta tryhard and nice going on the PB Victor
Planning a trip up that way near the end of Jan, so a trip to the lure shop for some towadi and skpop's sounds in order

Cheers Dave

 

[rawprawn]

I was just driving through Forster today thinking how fishy and clean the water looks. I really will have to get up there for a fish one day when work permits.

 

[YakAtak]

Nice report guys, Matt, good onya for getting Victor onto some fish. Vic, congrats on landing your first salty yak fish, 33cms is a very nice bream.

 

[victor-victor]

I'm still grinning. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was a wonderful morning, highly recommended

Victor

 

[andybear]

I enjoyed the reports guys.... I must get me some poppers. I have only got one, but it is huge, I think the fish would cringe in fear.

cheers Andybear :lol:
