Hi there, my name is Fiona and I’ve been Kayak fishing for about 4 yrs but have been around fishing since I was a kid. To say that I love my yak fishing is an understatement, I generally try to get out for a yak fishing session once every weekend. I have a bright red Hobie kayak, you can’t miss it. My yak’s name is ‘Donkey’ (think of Shrek and you’ll get it), it’s my trusty steed on the water. I love to fish freshwater and saltwater. When it comes to saltwater I’ll tend to stick to the estuary’s, creeks and rivers, occasionally I’ll explore out the front in the bay areas but not too far out (too much swell and I’ll create my own burley).

Some of my fav/pb catches in the yak are: 74 cm Flatty, 53.5 cm Bass, 46 cm Murray Cod (yet I still want a bigger Cod). Half the fun of fishing is catching a fish, the other half I love is just being on the water and immersing myself with nature, even if it’s admiring a huge tree in deep waters in the Dams. You can’t not be impressed by mother nature and how she works. The other part that I love doing is going out with others for a fish and helping others that are new to yak fishing to share with them helpful tips that have worked for me (or my fellow fish buddies) or even how I have my yak set up. Others have helped me with my journey of yak fishing, and I’d like to help others that are just starting yak fishing.

Regardless of where I’m fishing, I’m always willing to help another person out if they need help. It’s great fishing etiquette and I’d like to think that if I ever needed help, that someone would be there to help me out. If you’re in the SE Qld region and just starting out fishing or just want a yak fishing buddy to go out with, let me know and we may be able to meet up.
