Hi All, Yes it does get pretty rough out past the headlands, also the wind, particularly from the East funnels through the valleys. I have only yak fished from Norman bay to Squeaky beach, and then in a light North westerly. There are mobile towers on Mt Oberon, also at Yanakie. On the road out we g...

Hi All, I work down at Wilsons promontory national park, and just on knock off tonight we got a call to get the Parks boat out to rescue a kayakker who had gone missing off Norman bay. Apparently he and a friend were going to kayak over to Oberon bay to meet up with other friends who were hiking ove...

Fiction, my favourites would be the detective Dave Robichaux series by James lee Burke, and books by Jonathan Kelle...

The earliest I remember is, like Digger, in a putt-putt my dad and his mates from work hired. I remember a few trips, some from Frankston, some from Mordialloc. We always used to get flatties and couta, enough for a decent feed anyway. Went from Mordialloc with some mates from my work many years lat...

Thanks to all of you for keeping the best yak fishing forum functioning.
There would be many yaks in similar dry dock storage for less important reasons, Like f***in work,
Cheers

Jesus, I would hate to arm wrestle the guy who cast that.

I would run, but it`s undignified.
