VIC - WE ARE BOUND, MARLO BOUND

Had a great weekend away with Ronnie Sonter and his mate Dean fishing Marlo from end to end. Wish I could say the weather was better but it wasn't, so much fresh dumped in the system. Most days it blew gusts of over 30 knots easily and rained sporadically on and off.

ANGLING ADVICE - BEMM RIVER, VIC

Introduction: 

Located 632 km south of Sydney and 427 km east of the Melbourne CBD, Victorias Bemm River boasts some of Australia's best Bream fishing. Situated in the Cape Conran Coastal Park, Far East Gippsland, the inlet itself is renowned for its big Blacks (Often called the ‘Bream Capital’). The shallow 930ha inlet itself is fed by Bemm River from the west and Little River from the east and surrounded by forest and tea tree. Mainly shallow, the estuary features a mix of mud and sandy bottoms, accompanied via prolific weed beds. The town contains a hotel, a shop, a caravan park and a number of self contained flats and bungalows. Petrol is not available in the Town and should be purchased from Orbost or Cann River before you arrive.

GAMAKATSU HOBIE FISHING SERIES - GEORGES REPORT

Recently I partook in the last Gamakatsu Hobie Kayak Series round for the year, held on the Georges River in Sydney's South. Having never fished this venue before I wasn't too sure what to expect but was warned of gnarly structure doting the shorelines. With this in mind I came equipped with a few different tools in the rod arsenal, including shorter rack rods and deeper diving lures. After receiving an updated lowdown on the arena from good mate Carl Dubois I was happy with my game plan and hoped to execute it well.

NSW - LAKE JINDABYNE 19/5/13 (TRAILER, ROO, RUDDER)

This time of year brings many a weak capital kayaker to their knees. Snapper down the coast, Trout in the mountains... It's a tough choice. Works been rather pressing so when the chance for a road trip came up on a Sunday with a few mates I offered up the kayak trailer and away we went. Was great to see the trailer full to the brim with kayaks once more with three on the bars and one on the Roof. It was a bit of a Hobie affair with a Pro Angler, a Quest, an Outback and even a Sport ready to rock a ruckus on Lake Jindabyne.

GAMAKATSU HOBIE FISHING SERIES - GEORGES RIVER, NSW

Its funny how time flies, especially when you are having fun... There has been a bit of a dry spell when it comes to kayak fishing tournaments towards these parts, luckily the drought has broken (With some rain and wind to boot). This weekend sees the Georges River round of the Daiwa Hobie Gamakatsu Kayak Fishing Bream Series, held on the waters accompanying Woolooware bay. Having never fished this region I am excited, especially given the quality of FB reports on the Bream their recently. I am, however optimistic on my chances...
