Kayak Fishing

Kayak Paddle Day

It's hard to make a decision on which boat to buy if you have never paddled a kayak before. Maybe your only experience in kayak is in one of those slippery white water boats that roll over if you look sideways. The large range of recreational and touring kayaks offered at Tassie Tackle and Outdoor cater to all skill levels from the rank amateur to the seasoned Sea Kayaker. Come along to the Trevallyn Dam Boat ramp.

For safe, relaxed paddling with experienced kayakers on hand to ensure your enjoyment and offer advice. Paddle a range of boats and enjoy BYO BBQ lunch to top the day off (BBQ Facilities on site). Kicking off at 11am on Sunday October 10th weather dependant, bookings are essential.
All safety equipment and kayaks provided, just bring yourself.

Test paddle day Saturday 9th October --- Turners Beach 1.00pm.
Test paddle day Sunday 10th October --- Trevallyn Dam 11.00am.
Bookings essential so we can make sure you get a paddle.

Tasmanian kayak fishing

by Nick Gust
Kayak-fishing is rapidly gaining popularity
around Australia. With appropriate equipment,
experience and favourable weather Tasmania holds
many diverse and exciting opportunities for kayak
fishing. Taswegians are getting in on the act with the
first kayak-fishing tournament held at Scamander
earlier this year. (see issue 85 for details).

Hobie Mirage Revolution Fish

Courtesy of IFS

Lately I have been thinking about the benefits of the Hobie MirageDrive and having your hands free for fishing. For those not in the know, the MirageDrive is a pedal driven method of propelling a kayak. Hobie calls it a "Revolutionary new propulsion system", and I must admit it certainly is an impressive system. The two blades look like the wings on a penguin. There is a good reason for this too.

Ocean Kayak Prowler 13

Craig Vertigan

I'm going to attempt to be as objective as possible when reviewing this kayak. I own one myself and love it to bits. But like all anglers I'm always on the lookout for the perfect bit of tackle, whether it be the perfect bream rod and spinning reel, the perfect five weight fly rod, the perfect fly reel to match, or as a kayak fisherman I am of course always looking for the perfect kayak for fishing from. I wouldn't say the Prowler is the perfect fishing kayak, but it is one that will perfectly fill the needs of many kayak anglers.

Yak Fishing Kit - What to stow when you go

John Pollard
In April-May (Issue 79) we covered what to wear on your body while on your Yak, this issue we will look at what else you may need or want out on the water with you. As previously mentioned we have very changeable and sometimes diabolical weather conditions, so what you take out with you on your yak takes some planning, consideration of your yak's storage capacity and good common sense.

Installing a fish finder on a kayak

Craig Vertigan
If you want to take fishing from your kayak to a new level you should consider installing a fish finder. All those boat owners out there using them can attest to the benefits of a fish finder. They help you locate structure, discover what depth you are fishing, the nature of the bottom structure, the temperature of the water and if you're lucky a few fish may show up too, giving you an obvious indication that you are in the right spot.

Cremorne Channel and Fredrick Henry Bay kayak fishing


Craig Vertigan reports on one of his favourite locations.
The weather is warming up and now is the ideal time to start targeting that most delicious of table fish the flathead. I met up with a group of like-minded kayak fishermen during early September in the hope of getting onto some early season flathead. Flathead and Salmon are usually a sure bet anytime from October through to April, with the hotter months providing the best action.
