- This was my second time out offshore! again, the weather was very mild, and I was comfortable with the elevated risk that weather can pose going offshore.
I started heading north, up to the top section of reef and pulled up a few snapper bonito and Yakkas on the way, before getting a lot of Bonito off the surface over the top of the reef.
Again, i was sea sick and next time will have a trip to the chemist to see if it helps.
I caught a few extra fish but the video was getting just a bit long to include all the weird stuff I got.
The kayak is a Hobie revolution 13 and the sounder is a Garmin Striker 4 Plus with mapping.
Below are some links to stuff I used that are quite good value and I get a commission from it, so open that wallet, bankrupt yourself and buy some great gear!

It's so interesting to see a lot of those same species which we usually fish on a kayak here in Japan.
I feel like sport fish are very similar around the world, BUT I was very surprised to see Japanese anglers catching flathead!
Healthy session!
Thanks :) I cannot wait till I figure out kings offshore!
Awesome video mate good haul! Planning to go this coming Monday hopefully can have as much fun as you did!
It is a whole new fishing experience out there! I cannot believe it took me so long to build up the courage to get out there! Good luck, and hopefullly you find some king fish!
@@cballzoutdoors I'd love to tangle with a kingy but a spread of snapper would be awesome! I'll let you know how it goes!
Great stuff mate awesome content as usual!
Thanks Ollie, tried to make the view of the sea as interesting as possible!
Dude, that must be your new fishing spot now
It is so much fun I want to go more, it is just weather conditions are so rare it will probably be few and far between
Just popped up in my feed, great session bro I want to try a kayak out at longy myself but afraid I'll get sea sick 😂 I do from boats
I guarantee it will be 100 times worse. I do not get sea sick at all on boats and was nearly going to vomit on the yak....
next on my agenda is trying some pills out for it
@@cballzoutdoors ah shit! That's broken my dreams then haha. I'll stick to the rocks 👍👍 I'm alright on a jet ski though for an hour
@@Jayeffhi I am praying osme pills will make it go away... otherwise i sit around for an hour drifting waiting to feel better (which I obviously cut out!)
@@cballzoutdoors That sounds bloody gross mate all the best with it
Awesome fishing times. What is that map app you are using?
It's navionics
Ripper session mate well done! How much extra "range" do you reckon you get by using the food pedals/leg power compared to normal paddling? You're really making me want to get a Hobie haha.
I would say at least 10 times the range and it also means you can tolerate wind much better meaning a 20kph day is unpleasant but still fishable. I went out the other day on longreef and did 25k all up but it is more the convenience. if you want to get one and are on the edge, just go second hand, get one with a reverse drive that you can car top and I am certain you'll be happy but if you are not, just sell it for little to no loss
The reason why dolphins play with pufferfish is because they get stoned off the fish's toxins. That's a pretty awesome thing to witness!
lol, that was a seal! they must both have the same idea!! lucky a drunk seal didnt attack me!
Don't have turbo fins? Seem to be doing a lot of pumping for not much progress...Thought you catch lots more fish than I do. 😔
Maybe need to adjust the number setting on the mirage unit to a longer setting?
Do you get any fish trolling behing the yak as you travel?
SO! I have GT fins, I dont think they are turbo, BUT just realised the tensioner was all the way undone. I have tightened them to full now so that will aparently give me more speed. my top speed previously was 10k absolutely killing myself so hopefully it improves the speed a lot!
RE trolling, not really, I think the diver goes to 6m, and in 30ish m of water it ends up being more of a nuisance having to wind it back up.
what’s the shortest kayak you’d be comfortable taking out there? i have an 11ft hobie and am looking to do something similar
Length isn't so much an issue. More total buoyancy vs your size. I'm 110 kg and I'm very comfortable on the revolution 13 which is 14ft. So if you were sub 100 I'm sure it would be fine
where did you get the rod holder mount for the back of the kyack
It's just a tripple rod holder cable tied to a tacticz fordable crate from bunnings. Generic tripple rod holder off amazon
Do you ever get worried about sharks?!
Not really, I think when I gut the fish etc, I normally try to wait a while before sliding forward, and putting my legs over the side while I put the fish in the cooler because that is probably the highest chance that I attract a shark
@@cballzoutdoors went out yesterday.. caught 1 million serfeant bakers, 1 yellow tail and a trevally 🙃. Looking for that snapper fix hahaha ah well next time!
@@yakattac78 that is awesome! I'm jealous.. cant afford the time of work to get out in a good weather window at the moment :( while it may not have been a trophy day, at least you get the excitement of pulling something up from 30m!
what is the app on your phone
called navionics, supplied by Garmin and you can get the same mapping on the sounders
What app is that ?
Navionics which you can get on android/ios but it is a paid subscription at like $50 a year
