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.

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.
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.

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
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.

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.
Wow, beats the hell out of my PB brownie, Sam. Mind you, I haven't been fishing for them for a long while... Great fish, great yak. Well done...
