Hi all

I have bought a 2.6m Finn Gizmo Fisher from Finn Kayaks (http://www.finnkayaks.com) and have just started fishing with it out near Penguin Island in Saftey Bay Rockingham as well as in Mangles Bay.

Been out twice so far with 1 herring and 1 seagull to date.

I paddled like crazy to where the gulls were swooping in the water, cast a few lures in and hooked the gull in the wing A slow tow back to shore with the bird going crazy at a safe distance, followed by a towel over its head so I could get close enough to remove the hook from it's wing seen it live to see another day.

Anyone local intrested in going out for a fish let me know!

Regards
Matt

Welcome Matt you have some forum company in the west but don't know how close they are to you.
Bird encounters are painful for all concerned until the release, I've had 2 a mutton bird, and a brahminy kite and none of us were happy with the experience

 

[Peril]

Welcome Matt. I'm sure the catches will get better and will look forward to reading about them

welcome matt.

I have no idea what a finn gizmo is but it sure as hell sounds like fun..

I think you may be onto something here!! Live baiting with a seagull. Has that been tried before?? :shock:

Ive heard of 'fly' fishing but thats taking it too far! :wink:

 

[bushwoodboy]

Hi Matt & welcome. Top spot, good wine, good surf, good fishing what more could you want. Look forward to hearing some reports from W.A. Mal.

 

[Matt74]

Matt

G'Day Matt,

I will be resident in Perth again come February 1st some time and yes it would great to catch up for a fish. Have you fished Pt Peron and those areas yet, as they seem to be some good ground down there also.

Yakabe.

 

[Matt74]

Yakabe

Only been out twice so far
Have looked around a lot, but I see a lot of potential.

If you look at Pont Peron on Google Earth you will see what I mean.

Cheers
Matt

 

[Yakabe]

Yes, I have been snorkelling out there a couple times, and the area does look really good under the water also. It is also quite a popular land base fishing area.

Yakabe.
