All of the club members fish from a sit on top kayak, each of these yaks have been set up with there own unique style that suits each fisherman for comfort as we can spend a lengthy period out on the water.

Hi all,

We had a good turn out for our meeting 16 people with 2 new guys joining not bad when we only started with 4 keen fishos.

went out to the waimak yesterday 3 of us caught alot of kawahai (small) a few herrings, we heard of 1 salmon being caught at the mouth.

I spotted 2 good fish flash past me when i was trolling.

[Jackfish]

Getting a 10 weight loop rod in the near future.

Going to start pilaging the ocean on the ocean on the fly rod

[Yakkaman]

What did you think of the kayaks at Paddlerzone did you have a good look over them?

Also did you hear craig say he has a spare yak?

[Jackfish]

The kayaks there are pretty cool, but I didn’t really get a good look at them

A spare one to sell?

A Damn good day out at Te Oka Bay, after a 4k paddle Ollie had us fishing over his trumpeter spotx.
Ollie anchored and clipped onto his yak burley was deployed and the fishing exploded fantastic to catch so much fish alot was under size but the action never died.
A couple of big conger eels and Ollie had one at the surface that was at least 5ft long 200mm thick looked like a serpent.
I hooked onto something really big and thought i was winning the fight when oops we are getting towed, I wish that I had unclipped from Ollies yak and worn the fish out but instead I let it take about 40-50mtrs of 25lb line and ping that was it, you learn from your mistakes.

We are heading to Kaikoura for the weekend 23-25 May 2009 staying in South Bay No. 131 South Bay

Kaikoura got rained off a quick change of plans on Friday had us heading for the west coast, a batch at Okirito 2hrs past Hokitika we arrived at 11.30pm up at 5am and down past Bruce bay.
We met up with a couple of guys from the Greymouth fishing club kayak section.Al and Tim had us out on the water only a 1oo mtrs off shore huge rocks and plenty of reefs.

Biggest blue cod 45cm and largest gurnard I have ever caught 47cm. We caught Teraki, blue cod, gurnard, trevally,grey boys, oh yeah and the dog fish which make our ones here look tiny followed over too.

[Yakkaman]

Thought I would flick a couple more on for those interested.

[Miliwolf]

Cool looking coastline. Must get down there one day.

[rdeejay]

Hey bro wassup with the low res pics eh lol

[Yakkaman]

3 different camera’s and pain that you have to edit them to under 265kbs,

I am waiting for some more pic’s from the boys over the coast of shots on the water.
Our biggest problem is that we get out on the water and the fishing goes off no-one wants to stop fishing and take pic’s.
Totally different than being on the shore,If I could afford one of those flash helmet camera’s and video well that’s another story lol.

We are having a slide show on this Thursday 4th June at our next meeting.

Sign up to a pic hosting site and upload there, then you can just add a thumbnail which links to bigger versions and saves resizing like i do with my pics.
A good catch anyway and a good feed i bet.
