Back from Jervis bay.
Spent 3 days and 2 nights camping with 9 others, 2 babies, and my bird (my parrot who travels everywhere with us). Great weather and cool nights, but that was fixed up with a camp fire during the night. The first day i took the kayak out in the river off our camp to do some exploring. Absolutely magical on dusk. The next day i was up at 6 a.m. to go fishing while the others went surfing. I spent about 2 hrs flicking plastics at a mussel farm which i thought would be full of bream but i was unable to get one. Only small Trevally and yakkas. So i ventured out Sanctury Point where the swell was kinda big and there were great drop offs. Spent a few hours there getting loads of bream up to 42 cm, and a few Snapper, some over some under. Everything was released except 1 bream which went on the bbq. Everyone was spewing i didnt keep them for a feed, but i saw no point seeing as we didnt have things like lemon and stuff that goes with fish. The nights were great sitting around the fire drinking, eating, putting marshmallows in the fire like kids and listening to a mate play the guitar. The last day we were up early and packed. A few of the others hired canoes and we went for a long paddle down the river. Let me tell you, my kayak flies! It has fins on it and i peddle with my legs. The others were struggling so much that i was actually bored going round and round them so i can keep moving, (man were they jealous!!!). At one stage i acted as a tow truck and they held onto each other while i grabbed the first canoe by a rope and towed them along. We still went quicker than they wouldve if they were paddling, and i was just pumping the legs casually! Arnie Dog i wanted to come down, but seeing as i only had 1 full day there it was pretty hard cause i fished it. But next time il take you up on it if the knee and everything else is better. All in all a good weekend. Bring on the Queens birthday!!! This post has been edited by salty fil: Apr 28 2008, 02:51 AM

It's a good report. It is true that I don't like the thought of bream being kept at all, but if you caught stacks then keeping one is OK I guess. Better than bagging out.
Well done and love the yak. How quiet is the mirage drive system when compared to say a leccy? P.S. Why are you using lip grips for bream and snapper? It's not like they have teeth or serious spines? A simple comfort lift (on their side) does less harm and lessens the chance of them spazzing out. This post has been edited by catchnrelease: Apr 28 2008, 03:40 AM -------------------- DANCE!

Ive never been on a leccy so i cant compare. I was expecting something about the lip grips. To be honest i placed them ever so gently for the photo, they swam away healthy as can be after that. I still have to master not dropping them on my lap while truing to take the photo, where they go nuts and cut my nob! and i also have the risk of dropping my camera over board. But still, not a good look i know. |

The bloody bugger flew away on us in January up at Brunswick Heads. Took me 5 hrs to find him in the mangrove, oyster encrusted river. Still got the cuts on my feet to prove it. Since then he wears a harness when away with us. Heres a picture of the bugger in the middle of a shake. This post has been edited by salty fil: Apr 28 2008, 10:29 AM
