I went out for my first paddle and fish in my new prowler 15 yesterday. I launched aroung 10.45 Tewantain Harbour and starting paddling for about 50 meters just to get the hang of it and than started to troll my brand new sx-48 and about 5 mins later BANG i caught something, i thought it was a snag but than wahen i started reeling it in i could tell it was'nt. As this was my first fish in my new yak with my new rod and all my new gear i was pretty exited, so i reeled it in and got my net out than tryed to pull it into my net but the treble got hooked on the outside of the net so i fiddled around trying to get the treble out and the fish got away. ( As im new to fishing i had no idea what kind of fish it was, but it had blue fins and was silver and it was about 30 cms, Any idea what kid of fish?). So i paddle back to shore and got my composure back together and got a little more organised this time). Than i went of trolling with my now scratched sx-48
and went past the sound bridge and i came to a split in the river and i took the right and kept on paddling and than got another hook up
, this time it was a small bream (only bout 10 cms, but atleast i was catching fish), so i let it go. Than keft on paddling around this little island than back the way i came and hooked up another fish, this time it was a flathead ( probebly about 30 cms) and let it go. Than paddled all the way back to where i started (It was 4.30 pm now).
So it was a very big day launching at 10.45 am and getting back at 4.30 pm ( i did stop like 5 times at little beaches along the way to grab a bight to eat). I talked to a couple of other fishos who had also been out when i was just getting back they said they did'nt catch a thing, so i spose the fishing was pretty bad that day). I absoulutley loved the prowler, it held up great in the testing conditions and the rudder was a big help. I had a great time and i can now officially say i am hooked and am going out all day again 2morrow
