And my second. And my third, as a matter of fact, I caught 7 snoek in the going for bronze comc. The biggest one was 4.5 kg, my biggest fish ever!!!!!!! We had lots of fun.

Ja moet sê. We have a few kayakers that won't be kayaking too quickly again after the snoek destroyed the hands / fingers and a lot of tackle. Was lekka fun.

My tally was 8 at the end of the day and only because I ran out of spinners.

Why didn't you speak up? Ek het 'n ekstra dollie en hoek by my gehad.

Ja, die snoek het nogal die tekkel gewikkel. My snoeklyn lyk of dit met skeermes lemmetjies aangeval is. Dit was 'n wonderlike ondervinding. My linkerhand is vlenters gesny, maar ek kan nie wag om weer so iets te doen nie.

You joke TheFishingMagician and me was joking about that on our paddle back to the launch site that we might need to have a little barge build we can pull behind us with all the gear and fish.

Saturdays comp was one of the best kayak fishing days of my life. Getting dragged around by a 5kg snoek was a jol I will never forget.

Ja, being broadsided while trawling was a bit scary. I had my hand line tied to the handle on the side of Myyak. Unfortunately I lost that monster. I was also thinking my fish box was a bit small so I'm working on a trailer to tow behind me.

I was going to suggest the kayak attachment that swivel drag behind you, but that's going to look too much like a broken back rapala, you may get taken by something...

Not so funny, but what I would rather do is to space them together with two allu poles and put up a small sail, so you get a glorified catamaran. I haven't rowed since I was a kid and back then it was already less fun than fishing :-D

You can even stand on it while fishing.

Myyak is so stable I can stand on it even without a catamaran attachment. Maybe to reduce the drag I should rather consider a roof rack attachment for my kayak. T.Taxi here I come!!

Congrats Oomfaan, I heard my brother (Gert) fished with you.
We spoke for more than an hour about the catches that came out.

How far is the snoek offshore today? Been thinking of taking my 2 man fishing kayak out for a few snoek this week and heard that they where not too far offshore...
anyone keen or able to join during the week?
