Canning River Kayaking - A new PB
Hi guys
Launched at a jetty near canning bridge today in search of my first fish of a yak.
Started with a bit of trolling up and down the flats with not much interest.
Then I paddled up toward a few moored boats and casted alongside one, had hits and follow ups most casts and dropped a solid fish due to being distracted and not being able to set the hooks.
It went dead for a while then a bit later my rod doubled over and the drag started to sing. After a few solid runs a good flattie arose from the murky water. Only problem was I didn't have a net, somehow I manged to lift the flattie up onto the yak without the leader snapping and paddle to shore.
He ended up going 50cm.
After a few snaps and a succesfull release we decided to call it a day.
Cheers
Sorry for Dodgy pictures, Phones camera lens was dirty and wanted to get the fish back in the water.
