South East Queensland

Kayak Fishing

Caloundra

Date:28th October 2005
Time:5:30am - 6:40am
Tide:High at 5:08am (Mooloolaba)]
Launch site:Moffat Beach
Water temperature:23°C
Lures/baits used:Hard bodied lure
Report:Hit the water just after 5:30am launching through a bit of weed, most of which ended up in my lap.
 Hooked up on a 9cm gold Scorpion at 6am. The fight initially felt like I'd hooked a lump of seaweed until it got its first sight of the kayak. I let it run a few times to wear it out before I brought it alongside and tailed a 54cm School Mackerel.
 I continued trolling the area until 6:40am but had no other action.
