Kayak fishing comp brings nations together
THE inaugural Daiwa–Hobie World Kayak Fishing Tournament was run and won at the weekend in Port Macquarie.
Contested by anglers from Australia, USA, Thailand, Singapore and South Korea, competitors were faced with the challenge of bringing a daily bag of their three largest bream to the weigh master over three days of competition.
Given that 10 of the 18 competitors were internationals, and had never seen, let alone caught a bream before, it's surprising that the final results were never a certainty.
Ultimately, the Aussies prevailed and took out the top three places, but not before a spirited challenge from US angler, Jose Chavez, who led the event after the first day, before settling with a fourth place finish. International competitors went on to claim five of the top ten places.
Based on the format of the Hobie sailing world championships, this event allowed competitors to fly in to the event location, where they were provided with a tournament ready pedal powered Hobie MirageDrive Pro Angler kayak.

Muppet Rigs For Cod
Boat fishing and rig set up can be confusing to some beginners and understanding why on one day we catch and next day we don’t can be frustrating to anglers, and sometimes me included,
Now I don’t profess to understand all that happens under the boat and while a simple hook and bait can produce fish, if a little effort and thought is put in you can give yourself a much better chance of bigger and better catches, The tide/wind/ and water clarity all pay a major roll which we cannot alter on a given booked days fishing trip, but what we are in control of is the way we present our bait/lure to the fish,
I spend lots of my time during the school holidays with novice anglers/ day trippers,
(see my 3 hour trips under fishing news and updates from the link)
and I like to keep it simple and get them catching from the off, the system I use is my home made two hook Muppet rig (soft squid like lures) attached to 0/4 or0/5 circle hooks and tied to 30lb or 50lb clear mono line, these can then be fished over a simple lead or attached to a bar pirk, and on really hard days I like to attach long thin strips of frozen squid to add a scent and some realism, the circle hooks while more expensive offer almost self hooking abilities and a great hold, and nearly always in the corner of the mouth which aids unhooking.
