G'day from Brisbane Australia - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

joe tuipala · 12-03-2007, 08:42 PM

Hey dude whats up, if you know what I mean,. I was raised in California but love the land downunder. My wifes parents are from Bundy. I was in Australia last christmas fishing and freediving the reef at Lady Elliot Island. The best place on Earth is Fraiser Island. tell us more about fishing in Australia. P.S. to bad about John Howard!. The poor bastard.lol

yeah, I agree......poor Johnny. He was the best thing that ever happened to Australia, the economy, US relations and our military. Watch the Aussie dollar fall, interest rates go up, defence budget cut and the country go back into debt as has done under every labour government before, (the dollar is already falling)

Back to the fishing though,

Fraser is a great place and there is just so many to list. I hope to get stuck into as much as I can when the Xfactor arrives so I can show you plenty of pictures and good ol' Aussie fish.

I will get some good pics of the humble bream and flatheads (our bread and butter estaury species) as that will be the main type of fishing I do. I also do alot of freshwater fishing for Bass ( a bit different to the large and small mouth), Yellow Belly (Golden Perch) and the Iconic Murray Cod.

I will also be throwing up a few pics of the Magnificent Barramundi. I hope to do a bit of offshore stuff also, but I am new to this. Hopefully I will get some Tuna, Mackeral, Snapper, Pearl Perch and a few others to show you.

Alot of fishing ahead (and sucking up to the wife), so in the interest of keeping up international relations in John Howards abscence, I will do my best

An average size Australian Bass

A good size Bass

Hope it worked this time

Here is some video footage from one of our members on one of our other great kayak forums (AKFDU Australian Kayak Fishing Down Under) of some great Aussie freshwater fish. Just click on the link.

Greetings and welcome. When you say off shore... what will you target? What will target you

Beach pics with an occasional redhead are greatly appreciated

I think I will mainly target the Snapper because I love eating them

But I will put heaps of effort into the Tuna and other pelagics as they are really good fun

Watch out for the crock holes up north.Read a kayaker got taken by a salty up in Gladstone i believe a year or two ago.I lived in Noosa for 2yrs & can't wait to go back.Talking about politics though,look up the Fabian society.com.au......... If you dare!They infiltrated the labor party back in the early 1880's.Only one word (Marxist's)fits them.In the second or third paragraph you'll see the statement (to build a social collective society)code words for communism.

well lads, she has finally arrived. Feast your eyes on this......

steveooo · 01-18-2008, 06:44 AM

Nice ride. Can't wait to see some

in it

dgax65 · 01-18-2008, 01:07 PM

She looks very nice James. Wow, you got the mango, huh? I thought Shawn had to get you a substitute yak. You know that Malibu will mold them in pink if you ask? I know you've been waiting a long time. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Now get out there and fish. Moreton Bay for the shakedown cruise?

Hope to see some reports soon.
