Hi Yakkers

Met Redpheonix and Victor-victor this morning for an early morning paddle on the western side of LBG. I had to leave early (hence the early post) to come home for baby duty. However my 1 hour on the water did prove productive as 15 minutes in saw my PB redfin (15cm estimated)...I didn't take a photo as I know bigger are around.....not that found any, I bid farewell to Leigh and Victor and trolled slowly back to the launch site when bang, a massive hit from the smallest redfin I have ever caught, using 4lb this time the poor tacker had no chance of escape. 4 fish in 4 outings, not a bad result really. I hope Leigh and Victor have more to report when they return. Pics below of the yak set up and some Canberra scenery (none of fish).

That is a very nice looking yak Ashley. Do you get decent in hull access via the center hatch? Those Qs are a Kiwi vessel are they not?

Thanks JT, yes it's a Kiwi vessel. The centre hatch is not massive, heaps of space in there, but it's more an issue of the size and length of what your trying to put in.....behind the seat is a bigger hatch, you can see it better in this pic. I plan on doing some camping trips out of her, so i will utilise the bow and stern concave sections with dry bags.

This was the oh no Lake Tuggeranong is closed outing on LBG with aleg75 and redpheonix early this morning. It was great to catchup with other members on AKFF! :lol:

The morning was very clear and still, sun coming up, fishing jumping all around us. Alas none jumped into our Kayaks we has to do it the hard way (the fun way) .

Few fish caught by all, manily redfin and redpheonix with a carp (was this his first carp?).

A few pictures from this morning efforts.

Thanks for saving the cod for me, I know where to go now......hence why i tend to use 10lb braid.....however for this morning decided the 4lb mono would be ample for the redfin's, at least had a little tussle with them........

Never mind about the rock wall, plenty more trips to be had yet, was thrilled two add two more redfin to the tally! bout time I started catching fish on these lures I keep buying.

 

[Polar]

A fish is a fish Leigh regardless if you feel like kissing your cuz - if you guys are out tomorrow you might catch up with the missus - look for the purple perception contour - I will land locked supervising the the tinnies

 

[bazzoo]

reat report Leigh, love the photos ,its like having a new fishing magazine on my computer, keep em coming mate, its a shame that carp are a good for nothing fish, leigh if you catch a cod , for heavens sake dont tell Ash, the consequances could be catastrophic :roll: :roll: , i suppose he is still on the car roof paddling round canberra

hehehe, yeah I dont want to know, really.......just when, where, what was used! aghhhh damn Cod, no wonder they are the king of freshwater natives! I will personally buy each member a beer when I do get one! but you have to come to Canberra to cash in *L*

havent prefected the art of driving the car while rigged up on the roof yet! biggest hurdle at this stage is reversing out of the garage!

 

[Squidder]

Great stuff guys, loved the photos, the more the better I reckon. A carp on a lure, everyone caught a fish, and someone got their licence, sounds like a top day all round. Not long now and I'll be on the water with you guys.

Hi Leigh, no carp to report from tuggeranong? I went with two other fellows, 14 rod between us (allowed for the carp comp) 1 fish landed, 4.5kilos, but roumors that an 8kilo won the biggest of the day. A redfin was also caught, easy catch as it was upside down and caught with a net.....still almost got biggest redfin for the day. No fish me for though.

How far south down Googong Leigh?
