BLAST FROM THE PAST - MALLACOOTA TRIP 2008

Been browsing through the hundred + trip reports and found some real doozies, you know those memories that set your mind adrift remembering times gone by. Some had me daydreaming for hours and hours on end, many posted long ago. I will start bringing these to light in hope it inspires many to visit said destination/s, that or get people out and about writing about there experiences (Colourful or not).

The first one I would like to 'Bump' is a particular trip I made with family to Mallacoota back in 2008. While we have been frequently visiting areas close by I haven't had a chance to return. Its an amazing place and more often than not an amazing fishery. It was the trip that made me fall in love with Black Bream, since then I need a fix a few times a year (Brutish big blue bad boys).

2012 DAIWA HOBIE KAYAK SERIES - FORSTER, NSW

Round 7 of the Daiwa Kayak Series kicks returns for the second time this year to the rack city known as Forster. The first round of the series provided anglers with some serious challengers, this round will be no exception. This is the NSW State titles and remember folks, the more people that enter the more qualifying spots will be available for the Bemm River grand final. Will the tides bring the Bream milling in and around the dirty flats or will it push clear bruisers water hard against the wash boards and deep into the racks?

POLL RESULTS (RECENT) - WEIGH IN YAK TOURNAMENTS?

The latest poll asked readers if they had ever fished/entered in a livewell weigh in styled kayak fishing tournament.With the vast amount of tournament information on KFA I have been always been interested in how many readers had actually entered into one of these events. The voting number was small but it was interesting to note 12% had entered once, 25% had entered many and 62% had never entered.

My main goal with polls is finding out what readers relate to content wise and to interact with visitors to the site. A few years ago the whole kayak tournament scene was diismissed as some kind of fad, bound to fade and dissapear. Thanks to a few companies and there supporters the scene has blossomed out of control. I love them, mostly as I enjoy trying to better my past results (At return venues, see 'One trick pony' posts). The effort involved in chasing a dream can be quite expensive (For both parties) but the social scene makes it all worth wild, event after many donuts.

I must check how many I have attended? (And how many donuts I have eaten?).

Archived result:

HAVE YOU EVER ENTERED A LIVE WEIGH-IN STYLED YAK TOURNAMENT?

Yes, once: 12%
Yes, many: 25%
No, never: 62%

2012 DAIWA HOBIE KAYAK SERIES - MARLO, VIC

Round 6 of the Daiwa Kayak Series trundles along the Snowy River and empties in Marlo, home of the Victorian Super. Some incredible fish have been pulled from its courses and bag limits are so huge one wonders how the hell they get these fish in their livewells. Victorian anglers will be in full force with this event scheduled to be the VIC State Title event along World Qualifying spots. A variety of techniques slam fish but will it be the upper reaches of some anabranch or the lake bowl runoffs that harbour the returns? (Please note: This event is being organised by ABT)
