Brought my first fishing yak and took it for its first run today. Been fishing for a long time and have done a fair bit of paddling, but was nerve racking combining the two. Just had a quick hour out from Frankston at the Olivers Hill end. Managed a 38cm flattie and a dozen pinkies, all undersized....

How's Tassie or a Murray Marathon looking.....bet they've both crossed ya mind more than once! :thumbsup: both take to much time off work - done a couple of smaller paddle challenges - Gippsland paddle challenge ( metung to lakes ) twice just the smaller 13 km event and the paddle leg of Adventuret...
