queensland First successful kayak trip

[justham]

Took The kayak out for it first real trip this morning. Put it in at Whyte island ramp at 6am and went for a peddle around the Flats on the going out tide. Was getting too shallow so I went into the river. Fished along the mangroves around to the rock wall of the coal stockpiles.

Managed 2 legal flathead and a few undersize. The gulps were the food of choice today and have been having a reasonable rum on them of late.

Still getting used to fishing in the kayak but enjoying it immensely!

Just need to get a sounder now!

First legal went 38cm and the second was 45cm

Nice work. Dusky flathead have a min. size of 40cm, and bar tails 30cm. In case you don't know, I'd hate to see fisheries confiscate your yak. I'm planning to go yakking Saturday, welcome to come along, just not certain where to yet.

I only kept the 45cm one.

Could be very interested in a trip on saturday. Send me a pm if you go.

Sorry mate, it looks like you mean 38cm is legal, just trying to help

With the wind forecast from the North at 15-20knots, I think jack hunting at Raby Bay might be on the cards, or Hinze for some saratoga and Bass.

Sounds like you're doing alright without a sounder! Nice work.
