TK01 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Fishing Patonga Creek in the yak tomorrow morning. Launch 6:30 to paddle up with the tide to the top section of the creek. Anybody wanting to come along in their yak is welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an action packed session actually. Plenty of bream, EP's and flatties in the creek at the moment. Biggest problem was pulling the bream and EP's away from the oyster racks. I landed a few but lost plenty more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam bros Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 how many lb line were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK01 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Started with 6lb leader and went up to 10lb. The challenge was that the fish would pull the kayak over to the lease and before you know it I've drifted over the top of the lease that the fish went under. Not a good scenario!

I've been trying to think how I can get around the issue. Those pedal kayaks make sense but your solution is very practical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
