queensland Yakkers sunday 5th of Feb

[Keen-as-fisho]

Righto its been a while, so I am planning on heading up to Caloundra and hit Brays rock and the Blinker. Obviously the weather will play some part in this. Low tide is at 630am so it will make for a relatively easy pedal out to the blinker then come back with the tide and fish Brays. Hopefully there will be some speedsters out and about to test my newish combo and the regulars bottom dwellers. I plan on launching from the Kings beach ramp (timber ramp) at 430 or whenever the sun starts to crack the horizon. Come one come all.

might be my opportunity to do my first offshore yakkin! will have to wait till closer to the day to confirm, but I am keen.

[swabio]

depending on family and weather.... i'd like to get amongst it!

[tomca]

if you insist :whistle:

whats your Plan B if the weather is poo poo? Currimundi? Closer to Brisbane?

[Keen-as-fisho]

Definitely Currumundi lake. Just to far to go not to fish up there.

[tomca]

[Keen-as-fisho]

Sweet, that I wanna see.

I won't be going out if it's too windy, might see if I can find a bass stream around there as an option c.

[dan25]

Should be free, if so, I'm in

[sunnydays]

I'd like to do this, but not very experienced on my little 10ft kayak yet.... don't think I'm ready for offshore yet!

[Keen-as-fisho]

Looking like it might be a good turn out guys, hopefully the weather is good

[fergie]

i'd be keen too, weather pending. not sure how my old yak would stand the test but will think about it.

[Keen-as-fisho]

Bump for jords

[Surfingant]

Haha, I was just gonna do the same thing

[Keen-as-fisho]

hmmm 20 knot NE winds at this stage, hopefully that changes by then.

[Jords]

Work :'(

[fishingnut]

Work :'(

Scared? :whistle:

[Surfingant]

Work :'(

Just do what you normally do, give them your availability :whistle:

[PlasticFantastic]

If the weather looks good i'll be keen for a paddle and I might also have a crack at some speedsters if I pick up my fly combo this week.

Cheers

Mark

[Baptism]

[Keen-as-fisho]

Hmmmmm hope this changes Might have to have a re-think

[PlasticFantastic]

Yeah with a forecast like that I'm out, heading to Cressbrook dam to chase Bass and whatever else is in it instead.

Cheers

Mark

[Keen-as-fisho]

Yeah depending on how the bay looks I might head down to viccy point for a kft prefish, even though its two months away.

[Rocket75]

looks like I'll be chasing bass somewhere then... or maybe gold coast canals for trevs/jacks? anybody else got alternate plans?

My arm can be easily twisted, especially if its at a certain place where you caught a certain fish wink wink :whistle: (not the coomera barra lol)

[kreel]

Just a friendly word of warning to anyone new to yakking. Brays Rock is open ocean and as such can be subject to quick changes in conditions that are very demanding on a kayak and kayaker. Make sure you know what you are doing and have the equipment to look after yourself should anything nasty happen. If ever in doubt DON'T GO. There will always be another time when conditions are better. No one on this site will think poorly of you if you back out, and if they do they're probably over-compensating for some deficiency, (and should stop taking the roids and let their balls grow a little)

A good piece of advice I got when I started out was to get used to my yak in the estuaries and calm waters, move to more challenging conditions gradually and always go out in numbers.

[Keen-as-fisho]

Good point Kreel, would you like to come? been a wile mate

[kreel]

We'd love to have a session mate, it's been ages. Conditions are too rough for us, so we'll make a plan closer to the weekend.

We had a quick session at Huybers last weekend - a few flounder, a tuskie and a bream. But noing to write home about.

The weekends have been pretty ordinary of late. I need a good session so I can write up all the lies.

I imagine you are referring to a certain green fish ... and I'm thinking that that area will have been hit hard by recent floods and will take a while to come good.

But maybe Clear Island Waters for bream and bass?

[Keen-as-fisho]

Thats the one I might pass on CIW, I'm not to keen on the place.

[Rocket75]

i'm not set on ant spot as yet...open to ideas tho

[Surfingant]

Fresh stuff will probably still be a little too crappy next weekend, I'd be keen to tag along on a viccy point prefish to see if I'm going to fish it.

[Milan]

Is it too much to ask for some nice weather for my birthday (6/2) LOL

Whats CIW like?

Where? Somewhere near a pub for a few birthday beers at lunch ay Wello's got a cafe/bar thingy, Raby canals/cleveland ramp has that pub over looking the bay and as an added bonus visible parking for all the gear. Any ideas?
