King fish attempt

King fish are some what a mythical creature in Tasmania and from good advice i was informed that they may be present at the moment in the Derwent river!So armed with a large knife jig and heavy outfit i ventured from Bellerive in my Hobie revolution kayak with Ruby (my dog) in tow!
The plan of attack was to look for any surface action and jig the lure from bottom to top underneath a feeding school of Australian Salmon. With no sign of action at bellerive bluff i noticed some bird action upriver! I put some hard yards in and ended up at the Tasman bridge greeted by clusters of birds feeding and the odd fish surfacing! After spending an hour or so jigging my large lure with little conviction or confidence the kingfish remain a myth to be broken and one i plan to put some time into!

New Adventure Island

Here is a few pics of my new fishing vessel aimed to target trout on fly! It replaces my trusty Savage Ranger which has served well as a fishmagnet for the past 9 years.I am pleased it has gone to a keen angler Nick who relocated from South Australia to further his fishing horizon!

Out with the old


In with the new Hobie Adventure Island sister ship to the Hobie Revolution!


I have taken it out twice now and am impressed with its sailing speed and ability to be used as a fishing platform. I look forward to sharing its adventures!
