Canberra - Lake Burley Griffin 10/5/08



Been sussing an excuse to stay local for some time now, it had been about 2 months since I last set out on Lake Burley Griffin ( Due to Coastal expeditions and Snowy adventures ). I have navigated this lake by kayak close to a hundred times and have found a real feel for it, saying that though the Redfin make dedication rather easy.

Managed a dozen or so Redfin ( A few mid to high 30's ) and dropped / hook pulled what I assume was a Golden Perch early on upon exit of our first destination, Spinaker Island ( Close to our launch site, Yarralumla Bay ).

The rowing squads grew thinner so I ventured over to Redfin Land ( Land, Alley, whatever ) and on the first return pass landed a pale Yellowbelly around 41cm. This fish was hooked solid and was a first on Craig450's donated Perch colour AC Invader 60mm, I have been giving his lures a real flogging lately for not much result ( Apart from a few foul hooked Googong Redfin ).

My camera batteries were dead so was forced to negotiate pictures with my camera phne, I have since upgraded phoned to a 6110 Navigator so missed my Carl Ziess lens on my old Nokia N90 ( The clarity was its only bonus ).

Proof is in the pudding though ( Even a police artist sketch would suffice ), amazing weather this weekend and glad you enjoyed it Cheeseman. You look slighly different in real life but I cant for the like of me figure out if its a good or a bad thing, you did however look mighty evil pedaling a baby blue Hobie Outback... Enjoy the darkside?
