Just returned from seven days kayak fishing Bemm River and its surrounds, great company and an even better campsite. The angling was tougher than expected with the inlet well over nominal water levels. Apparently in November 2011 there were massive periods of inclement weather resulting in the mouth shutting/filling. Water clarity was murky at best and those 90cm weed beds were well over 2m deep.
I witnessed some pretty cool stuff with some apex fish absolutely smashing the smaller residents, hooking and losing a few in the process. I also caught a couple of cracking Bream and some decent E.P's but other species didn't want to play lure ball. Chasing mainly Tailor proved difficult compared to last year's rewards but the ones I did land weren't kept for the table. Most had bite marks almost clean through and as savage as it seems I'm not quite sure they were bigger specimens of the same genus.
Round 3 of the Daiwa Kayak Series heads to the Georges River in the south of Sydney. Being a World Qualifying event the turnout should be huge, Sydney Breamers will be out in force. This is a cracker of a system and all techniques work, surface, plastics, you name it. Will the surface action fire up early or perhaps make way for a deeper approach?

Round 2 of the Daiwa Kayak Series is ready to roll, this time visiting the Glenelg River in South Australia. A great turnout for round 1 should set the precedent for this event as it not only features the SA State Titles but also qualifying spots for the World Titles. Its a great fishery with a real mix of breaming structure, finding the fish on the day may prove difficult though. Will the winning bag be caught along bank lines or in blade territory?

The latest poll asked readers if they fished mainly fresh or saltwater (or both), I was a little suprised at the outcome. 36% of readers voted saltwater only while 63% voted for both. 0% voted for freshwater only, a little odd knowing the denizens of sweetwater anglers the capital holds.
Probably not that suprising I guess, being so close to the coast. I must remember to do a poll regarding which state the voter comes from (A clue for the next one). At one stage I probably would have voted freshwater only but given the decades topwater craze and the stacks of Bream and Whiting on high end Japanese lures I would now (And did mind you) definately vite both, even if I still rate yak fishing for Trout my number one favourite past time.
Random, do you know my favourite native lure is a Jackal Chubby? (Go figure)
Archived result:
DO YOU FISH FRESH OR SALTWATER?
Freshwater: 0%
Saltwater: 36%
Both: 63%%
This is the first Christmas break I haven't owned my old coffee shop (Bless its soul), so my time off differed from past Xmas periods. Recieving the token couple of days shy of a fortnight I managed to get away to the far South Coast of NSW for a few days and then a local jaunt. With Pambula/Merimbula buzzing with Mexicans fishing the lakes was going to be a little testing, even if they only just managed to open up the new and improved boat ramp (2 days before Xmas, cutting it fine council!).
Round 1 of the Daiwa Kayak Series kicks off in Forster on the NSW Mid North Coast. With anticipation building since the announcement of the series anglers have been preparing to do battle within the racks and find that tournament winning bag. Some of the most notable fishing tournaments on any calender are held here and this will be no exception. Will the racks hold the boss hog or will top water techniques prevail?
