DerekD Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi Krause, Been a while mate. I'm still getting out on the kayak in the main harbour about once per week and went out on Middle Harbour with HenryR a few weeks back which he enjoyed. Hope to head out with you one of these years. Regards, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has only been sporadic. @HenryR's shoulder was still giving him trouble and now that he has been preparing for a new course heavy in mathematics he has had to get out for a study break here and there.

Lungfai76 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Krause, Bonnie's are firing out near the islands and come in sporactically at the moment, lots of rats but there are a few hoods which busted me off mixed in there. Bonnie's were taken on unweighted pillies out the back of the yak while kings on micro jigs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharknett Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The car that had the roof racks was written off after the Sydney hail storms in December. Don't want to spend money on racks for the other car as I intend to sell it after its hail damage is fixed. Unfortunately that won't happen until first week of June. So no yak fishing for me until at least the second half of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are pretty thick. Those for surfboards are thinner. Though I would most likely avoid soft ones unless for short distances and low speed.

jtp Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi Krause, Have not been yakking as much as I used too; last time would have been in November in Berowa creek for some bream and soapies. I'm in the middle of customizing a kayak trailer to fit my 2 hobies and my off-roading and camping gear. I can't be bothered lifting the kayak onto my car roof anymore haha. Have been taking the boat out instead due to time constraints. Just 2 weeks ago had a great session in Botany bay at first light with bust ups everywhere infront of the 2 runways. Got into a good number of bonito, tailor, salmon and kings on the troll and micro jigs. And I had them all to myself as everyone else was at molineaux. Once I finish the kayak trailer would be good to arrange another session eh? Cheers Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynabolt Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi. I haven't been out much either. It seems like the yaks are getting heavier and harder to get onto the roof racks. May need to think about getting a trailer soon! And the summer that has just gone has been too hot to spend too much of it in the sun. And now that it has cooled down a bit, we have the 'rain' hah hah.... can't win. But at least the garden is enjoying itself.... Cheers, Angela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krause Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Another year gone, I guess its time to check in with the world again? I see the forum limps on. Who's keen for a meet? Not sure where, no area seems to suit everyone but I'm sure we can sort something out.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 🤣🤣 Yep still kicking, for today anyway 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Yes the kayakers must have all got big boats now! The rest of the forum is travelling along nicely with lots of new members. Pop that request into Fishing Chat perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Still have fires around us, can see flames right now and huge plumes of smoke. Military and over 50 fire trucks in town and 500 firefighters moving in tonight for whats to come over the next few days with high temps and strong winds. Fishing has been the best I can remember for years, with plenty of kings from rats to 125cm. 85-95 being quite common. Marlin have also been in good numbers with 10 fish in two trips that my daughter was on over the weekend. Dolphin fish have also been plentiful. Water restrictions at level 4 here ( Narooma). Sold my boat, bought a boat but due to constant road closures picking up the new one from Melbourne and getting the old one delivered is proving tricky.

Gotta hold onto that man vs wild title Ill post something up in the gen chat and see if i can stir up some attention. JD, horrible to hear your situation. Ive only just returned to the country and am still getting to fully understand the reach and scale of what has happened. Just hoping everyone stays safe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
