The unofficial AFO yak day at Wivenhoe was a great day out. Tony and I met Bommie, Wayne D, Steven M, Big Al and Paul (Username Taken) at the gate at about 06:00. Must have been Stu towing a tinny through the gate two cars ahead of us.

Got off to a slow start but the captures kept coming right through the morning. Great weather! Tony and I went north several kays and could see a red vessel (kayak) working the steep banks a few kays east of Logans. Saw Wayne land his first fish before we wandered further up the lake & saw Steve get a couple of nice bass. Tony and I got all of our fish on Boomerangs. Most on black beetle and deep purple, one on Kakadu tiger. Being in a loaner (Hobie Outfitter) we had no sounder or GPS but worked general areas that have produced fish before and did fairly well. Had to pack it in at midday just when the bite appeared to be revving up. Left Bommie and Big Al & crew to get stuck into them after we left.

Heath,

Just replied to your post on 1st yak trip. In brief, we ran B65D Boomerangs instead of B65UD which were running too deep (today). We usually start the day with one of each out until we see which is working best. This time it was the deeps, next week it might be ultra-deeps.

Stu it was probably Wayne at the gate, he was in front of us with a yellow Hobie on a little trailer.

We were in Tony's dark blue Captiva with a light blue Hobie on the roof.

We were right behind you until you passed Wayne going up Splityard hill.

Great day guys, good to catch up, the boomerangs where doing the damage. I like the way you and Tony were powering back in the hobie, I swear that the yak was just about up on plane with the amount of wash coming out the back:laugh:

Gotta love the Mirage Drive on the Hobies. I've fished from a Revo and Sport before but this was the first trip in a tandem. We were certainly scooting with two of us pedalling. That was with the standard fins too, I reckon with Turbo fins we could just about tow a tobogan:woohoo:

Terry they are awesome.

Take a close look at the right hand side of this photo. See the shadow? That's the old man standing up on the nose of the Hobie - with a couple grands worth of camera gear hanging round his neck. :ohmy: [img size=416]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/afo_7281.jpg

Dad is just a little loopy :blink: I've seen him standing up flyfishing from a roly poly old fibreglass canoe.

Make that a lot loopy. Somewhere around here is a series of slides of me standing in the Scanoe playing and landing a Tinaroo barra on fly.

If I can track them down I'll try to scan them if anyone would like to have a look.
