Hi guys,
I'm a newbie to Kayaking, just got mine a few months ago, it's getting avery popular sport in the UK.
The weather you fish in is alot different as is the type and number of fish you have.
Been fishing all my life both freshwater and salt...though the last few years i've been saltwater fly flsihing .....it's hard going over here!

The Kayak i ended up with is a Feelfree Gemini...wasn't my first choice , but the wife wanted to come on trips with me. It's not a bad yak, in fact it's prooving to be good for a novice like me.

I don't suppose i can add much to your knowledge base....but i can sure learn alot from you guys :lol:

If i think i have something that might be of interest....i'll post it.

Oh... and i'll try not to whinge to much !

cheers,

Dave

Unfortunately, due to the change in ownership of this web site and the lack of response by the owners to my requests to remove my email address from all administrative-level notifications and functionality, I have decided to remove my posts on AKFF. Thank you for the great times, the fantastic learning experiences and the many many fish.

Welcome Dave, mate i would be keen to read about all of your yak fishing exploits be they humble or spectacular. It would be so different to what we are use to and also your different techniques used over there could be adaptable to our conditions over here.

Catch ya Scott

welcome Dave, you will enjoy it here,i am sure with the pommy sense of humour you will prove to be as crazy as the rest of us, SO GIVE US BACK OUR ASHES :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[PoddyMullet]

G day Dave, welcome along. I'd be keen to see how you fella's rig for cold weather if ya get a chance. I'd also be keen for Harmison to land a ball on the pitch (uh oh I can feel these words coming back to bite me on the arse before too much longer) :wink:

Gday Dave and good to have you taking an interest with us downunder and hope to hear of your northern exploits.

I have some some pommie ancestory way back but manage to keep it hidden OK :lol:

 

[clouseruk]

G'day !

I suppose i'd better get used to the lingo
I've not actually fished from the yak yet...only been able to get out a few times since i bought it...bloody work, weather and family comitments :x

Most of the guys are going over to dry suits/immersion suit set ups as the water / air temp gets low, both are about 10 c at the moment but they will drop alot more yet.

As a SWFF'er i mainly go after Bass , Mackeral (alot smaller than yours at around 1/2 kilo) and Scad..though depending where you are you could get Pollack,Whiting, Garfish and Flounder.........if you use a light set up say a 5 or 6# you get a bit of sport from even the smallest fish, with a 7 or 8# for the Bass. And quite a few now fly fish from yaks with good results on the Bass especially.

The guys who bait fish from yaks have had some good catches to, with Tope to 30lbs + and one lunatic went for a Skate and caught one of around 176lbs :shock:
I'll get a few pics together and post them up....don't know if i'm allowed to post links to other sites or not , but if i am i'll stick a few of ours up as well.
The fishing over here is under alot of pressure from comercials from all over Europe, and things are getting harder :x

I suppose i'd better add that i don't follow football,cricket or rugby....might seem a bit strange to you chaps , but we are so useless at these games sometimes that i can't get excited by them.....hope that doesen't get me banned from this site :lol:

cheers,

Dave :wink:
