pike in the Yak
Hi all,
I managed to get a couple of hours in fishing off of Ocean Reef in the Kayak. What a great day to be on the water.
I paddled only a mile from the marina and had a great time. straight away catching a nearon 950mm Pike. It was a bit of excitement. Lots of sharp teeth in the Yak for the 1st time. luckily a only just purchased a burkley fish gripping device. That was the best 30 bucks I have spent. it made it so much easier to hold the fish at retrieve my hooks then attached the grip on the side of the yak to keep the Pike away from fingers and toes once I slit his throat.
Shortly after I picked up a pinkie about 45mm which was soon back in the water.
I have recently purchased a hand held GPS for a 100 bucks. So I have marked the way points for next time. Another great tool for the yak.
Cant wait for another flat day to find some more great spots.
