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:
