Since mid 2007, members of Noosa Yakkers have been writing and illustrating kayak fishing Trip Reports and publishing them by whatever means available. This blog collects all of our early reports (sent out by email) plus the later TR published here on Blogger, and more recently, Monthly Summaries of the reports published on our Facebook Group.

Lake MacDonald
Just a quick report from the lake this arvo. I took Dad out for his first ever yak fish and he managed a couple of nice ones. He even took the largest of the day at 38cm. Not bad for his first bass AND first fish from a yak. Mango (Brian) also ventured out to join us later in the afternoon to check out the surroundings.

ADDITIONAL: Two bass each was the total for the day, but I did lose my first lure in the lake as well. Just entering the Palm Farm area I had a heavy strike amongst a lilly patch there. Whatever it was took off like a rocket and snapped me clean off down to the join for my leader. I'm not sure if I had a loop around the end of my rod or the drag was too tight, but it gave away with a PING and a sad groan from yours truly. At a guess I would say it was a big toga or eel. Bummer.
Cheers!
