HI all, I have been busy with the bream classic but I got out in the kayak for a fish in the derwent today landing another pb from the yak.
It was 64cm and weighed 6lb.

Top effort Sam. Congrats on hte PB. How did you do it?

 

[tasyakker]

peril, I got it on a sx40.
It took it a rod length out from the kayak and he played up heaps, I think it jumped three times and took four masive runs.
I played the fish for ages as I didn't wan't to rush him to the net and risk loosing him.

Put that Kimono Dragon down - they are dangerous!

Isn't that what Occy keeps telling the Japanese tourists that he has?

I think you meant Komodo Dragon Kraley :lol:

Bloody top fish Sam

Great stuff!

Real nice fish Sam. Do you target these trout at a certain time of year down there, or is it any time of year option ? I'm starting to work on some of Victoria's sea-run brown population. It's nothing like tassies though. Have you fished Arthurs ? I saw a pic of a guy I know with a 6.5 kg brown he took from there I think. He said it was chasing minnows in about 1/2 metre of water when he caught it! Would love to have the options for trout fishing you have down there. p.s. how have drought conditions effected tassies waters? Mick

Top fish Sam 8) 8) 8)

Did you manage any others while you were out?

I really want to get one of those sea runners.

 

[tasyakker]

mick, I normaly fish the derwent from september to november.
this is the prime time for searunners as they are chasing whitebait.
this year has been the best year for searun trout I have ever seen bcause the lack of rain we have had.

[tasyakker]

vert, just the one mate.

Onya Sam, a top fish. Is that Tassie Rob's favourite waterway? It looks a bit like it from the pic. I reckon it would be a top place to target sea runners if it is. I think I will have to renew my freshwater licence and hit the Huon.

Catch ya Scott

 

[YakAtak]

Awesome trout mate Ya gotta go home happy with one of those in the bag.

 

[hairymick]

Brilliant effort mate, Well done. Just how good are those SX 40s? I reckon anything that swims will eat em.
