Kayak salt water Fly.... avoiding the spiked one...and a first on the fly..
Got to the venue and the chop was up, but do-able..
Launched and fished for a while... until a nasty squall made me dump anchor and run for cover on the slip...
Piddled down for 30 min., but i held on till it cleared, and the sea calmed...
T11 rio.
9 ft 10lb drennan leader (lots of kelp).
Bleeding clouser minnow 1/0 in chat.
Lots of Pollack, lost count... and a nice codling! A first i think??
And no Bass T.G.
Just as things really hottened up another squall loomed ... so i legged it... and it lashed again!!

Ocean to City race.

Got my Time off the Ocean to City site... 3:33min.. i guess not bad or a first over 15 miles!!! ( I am chuffed!)






















Well it was a great day on the water, and the weather was very good.The only problem was a stiff breeze from the north in our face for most of the race, but we got there in the end.
I think i came in around 3.5 hours, but i will find out later in the week.
And if i am going to do it again... i will do it in a sit inside touring kayak!
They burned me up!!!!!
(actually there was a RTM Tempo kayak which was VERY fast!)
Ah...... now .....back to the fishing........

Paddle plan
Season closed, so what to do?
A paddle will clear the cobwebs... about 3 hours in total and the paddle back was hard due to the wind in my face...
Foud a crackin mullet mark though.... will post some vid later....
So i think a try with the "Poo" fly may be in order... remember it???
