So did you end up getting a yak Greg? What sort? Did you post up some pics somewhere?

Depending on dates, I could drag one of the yaks down. One is good for me, the other is good for two, the electric, the esky and I forget what happens much after that.

Bump..... Come on you lot. A Yak M&G would be great. I have 2 extra yaks if some one wants to borrow one. (Only 8fters but they have served me well in the past)
How about 4th August 7am launch from Bells Creek at Diamond head?

I am keen, are people thinking offshore or just estuary
What happens when you fall in...I mean I always fall off my surf Ski.....You must lose all your gear?
BTW I am being serious.... Are they hard not to fall off?
Gotta Love Maroochydore.
I have not fallen off yet.... having said that you can be sure I will soon . When you 1st get on one they seem a little tippy but as you find your centre of balance you are away with suprising stability. My 11yr old paddles the 8fter around without a problem. He hasnt fallen off (yet) either.
I ensure everything is tethered and if you do it right it is easy and doesnt make the yak too cluttered. All my lures, tackle, knife, pliers etc all in one soft esky tied to yak. Lip grips, paddle, net, fish measure all tethered. Anchor..... well that is a no brainer.
I got into yak fishing by accident (couldnt afford a boat at the time) and will always have one now. Great way to fish. I am 43yrs old, not terribly fit with a bit of a beer gut yet paddled 20klms the other day. Smart use of tide and wind and there is minimal effort required.
Have a go, you wont regret it!!
A weekend meet down the southern end of the passage would be good. Ningi Creek is about to fire up in the next month or so. Out near the mouth the parrot will be foraging and the flathead will be in good numbers.

Any other suggestions for dates? keep the ball rolling
