Report:
have been keen to have a go at the kayak fishing for a while now and eventually got the chance. 3 of us managed to get some time off work and so met up for a day targeting pollack. no real monsters caught - i reckon i got the biggest of the day at maybe 4lb - but an enjoyable day nonetheless 8) 8)
think im ready for the tope now :wink:

cheers hurler. those other guys had the fly rods with them too and were getting plenty. great fun indeed
i didnt bother as it was pretty much my first day out. i kept it simple with just the spinning rod and reasonably big soft plastics deterred the smaller fellas. i was goin for quality over quantity.. :wink:
mind you, they had on big flies on at times too.. :lol:
