Slow and steady gets the Redcliffe Squire

[ar-we-ther-yet]

After reading that a few blokes in kayaks have been doing quite well with hard bodies and me not having much success with s/p's lately, I thought I would give them a good go, and have been catching a few ( for the first time on H/B's that is ).;D

I think with stealth ability of the kayak and being able to troll dead slow -very slow helps a lot. plus by trolling you can cover a bigger area. Once I get a hit I go back to the same spot and often get another of the same size.;)

BTW most of these fish were caught in the proposed "Green Zone", because they are some of the best place to catch Redcliffe Squire.:'(

Thanks guys
It was 2 sessions one arvo session last Sunday and a morning session the week before. I dont catch many, but hey one Squire at 50 cm is enough to feed the family.

Dirtysanchez one of the many good things about fishing from the kayak is I can put it in anywhere my trolly can get to, and if that fails I can carry it to the water.

Well done Paul,

Very nice fish indeed. I reckon you might be right about the stealth of the Kayaks.

[White_Steenbras]

Mate, thats a great session you had there! Well done on the troll, a pleasant way to fish I bet!

[Dirtysanchez]

Hi mate
Thats why I asked you about where you put in, coz I fish from a canoe you see and am looking for user friendly areas

Thank you

Thank you

Hey dirtysanchez
Any of the boat ramps are easy enough to put in if there not too crowded. I often put in at the one at Queens beach. Other than that the car park at Scarborough park is all right if you have a trolley, but my favorite place is the small car park at the end of Shield st only a 20 mtr walk to the water and never crowded. I also drop the kayak in at the end of Haysmouth st to get into Hays Inlet but you do need a trolley for that.

I'm planing on going out Saturday morning all going well, probably give Scarbie reef a go.

G-day Swano you legend.

The only regret I have in life is that I didnt drop out of school and become a chippy.......no mum said "stay at school and get a real job"..... thanks mum.
Could be out during the week catching all the big snapper like Swano, instead of having to work and only catching a few dregs on weekends.:-[ .......;) ;D
