queensland Lets go Kayak off Bribie

[pcsolutionman]

yeh its just an older tempo but has 2 flush mount holders and an adjustable up front

Lee

[fishyman]

awesome thanks for that he said that would be great but hes still not 100%

another question what time would you guys be getting off the water

[pcsolutionman]

probly depends on the fishing, wouldnt think any later than lunch

Lee

[Terry H]

20-30lbs for any pelagics on a high speed reel, then 4 and 6lbs for the other goodies on plastics/hard bodies

yeh mate the espis handle it perfectly, better than the tempos. they surf better and dont have the front well to fill with water during the launch. been out with quite a few espris

Lee

yeh the smaller yaks surf the waves better coming back in

[Keithygeorge]

hey guys any chance of using a spare kayak for the day if i cant buy one?

[Alex]

I might come and join you all as photo hog.

I need some more action Profish photos, some general kayak fishing photos of all brands of kayaks, not just Viking, for some articles I am writing, and would really like to get some photos that can be blown up to hang on the walls of the shop.

That is if some of you don't mind being models.

Cheers

Alex

[Terry H]

Good to see Alex has booked himself in as photographer. We now have the fisherman, the photographers, now wheres the fish? Sounds like it's shaping up to be a good day!

[Angus]

Yeap sure does.

And Terry I love your idea of Fish & Chips afterwards

[Terry H]

Speaking of riding waves - the OK prowler has a good bow for that, it flares outwards to help push you up to avoid digging in.

[fishyman]

oh awesome guys this is shaping up to be a really good day on the water.

alex, me and my dad are in the market for another kayak and are looking at the profish 45 as one of our contenders. Lee has said he could bring a spare yak (tempo) but i would love if i could have a go in a profish to try it out and see how i like it as the hobie will be dad's and the new yak will be my one. its a toss up between hobie or viking and i am leaning towards viking even though peddle power is really handy, the profish just seems to have heaps of little handy nick nacks for fishing plus i dont mind a paddle every now and then

so if its not to much to ask would it be possible for me to try out a profish for the day? plus then keithygeorge could have lee's tempo.

im sure there could be a 6 pack in it for ya.

Keithy ill see what I can arrange.

Alex may even be keen to come along with some demo Profish's. No promises but let me see.

If not Ill try and get a second one there for you.

Stay tuned.

Angus

[Alex]

Fishyman,

No worries I will put your name on one of the Profish demos for the day.

Keithygeorge, I have your name on the other one at the moment, but please confrim it with me asap

Cheers

Alex

[Keithygeorge]

i would really appreciate using a demo kayak. ive never used one before should be interesting maybe a roll over or 3

[fishyman]

sweet thanks a heap alex maybe i will be able to convince dad to buy a profish.

so that means Lee (pcsolutionman) still has a spare yak for anyone that wants it since keithygeorge has the other profish.

Lee, i really appreciate the kind and generous offer but this will save mehaving to try out a profish another time. but thanks a heaps mate i would give you karma but its gone

[pcsolutionman]

no worries man, I cant wait to see a profish in the flesh too

Lee

[fishyman]

Mate there are sharks everywhere. If she wont let you fish if there are sharks youll never do any salt water

Angus

[fishyman]

thats pretty much exactly what i said.

quote mum "tom your going offshore in a kayak dont you think thats a bit dangerous there are sharks out there"

quote tom" umm mum i ski and swim in the brissy river *showed her a pic of terry's massive shark*

quote mum"oh"

Hahahaha.

Well put

Angus

[fishyman]

hahahaha.

well i am now 99% sure i am coming only thing is weather.

do we have a plan B is offshore isnt looking good

[pcsolutionman]

lol yeh theres sharks, seen a couple. more dolphins than anything though, they can give you a fright when its dark and one surfaces right next to you

B Plan i reckon just hit the passage. Its a pretty good back up as its close enough by and we would still stand a reasonably shot at getting fish.

Angus

[fishyman]

sweet, both sound like good ideas to me.

im guessing plastics in the 3 to 5inch range would be suitable for the snapper. i have a few packets of gulp i have to get through. 2 x 3inch minnow, 1x 5inch jerk shads,

is it just me or do gulp packets always stink even if they are sealed up tight lol

[Angus]

3" and 5" Plastics should be perfect.

Ah GULP, you can learn to love that smell which is a worry. It means its fishing time!

Angus

[fishyman]

i think ill start to be a squidgy man myself lol less smelly and still great on the fish.

their pro range critters and lobbys are great guns on the bream, plus theres always the old school wriglers.

i have some more i just found, a packet of squidgy flick bait 3 inch , 1x 4inch power minnow, 1x 3inch GULP pogy.

so i think im set tackle wise now all i have to do is get throughthe next week and a half of school haha

[username_taken]

30 minutes ago, I could have taken the kayak around fortitude valley! Robertson/McLachlan sts were both a foot deep in places!

[Angus]

I guess It will be weather pending. But be optimisitc. It was well worth braving it up to Baroon.

[Angus]

[Angus]

Hahaha Lee thats insane. After all those clips of people being impaled made in another post, I must say id be reluctant to remove the hook myself. Let alone get out of teh yak and swim the fish which has been fighting and bleeding for quite a few minutes boat side. But power to him!!

Angus

[Terry H]

Now that's fishing.

[pcsolutionman]

thought you would like it terry :)

Lee

[fishyman]

just another silly question.

where are we meeting/launching from exactly and will i need a permit if we need to drive on the beach

[Angus]

Wont need to drive on the beach.

Lee is better able to answer this than me, among others, as i have never done a surf launch there. But im pretty sure this google link is where we are going.

Lee can you confirm mate?
