Malloy 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi All I've just been given a new fishing kayak with a fish finder all rigged up for fishing but I'm having some difficulty's knowing where I should be fishing and locating fish that I can target in my yak due to my lack in knowledge around the Adelaide metro area. I'm not looking for anyone's secret spots or fishing destinations I just need a hand to know what way I should be heading with kayak fishing.Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley 19 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Start with where you are located.The general direction you should be heading is out to sea... :)Anywhere metro, just head out to the weed line, throw some squid jigs around... bingo.Berley over the weed patches might attract some gar and tommies.Bottom baits in the sand patches amongst the weed, you're in for some whiting possibly.Troll some lures over the weed/broken bottom for snook....There's lots of possibilities.

wedgetail 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you are new to Kayaking stick to west lakes until you can handle your craft always wear a pfd be safe. Malloy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kayak Noob 76 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've been told pt gawler is amazing for taking the yak out from. I'm yet to try it myself its right up on my to-do list! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelvin 2,200 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 http://www.akff.net/Most guys fish Marino to West beach.Easy launch at seacliff, south brighton, somerton, south glenelg, westbeach boat rampAlso Onk and westlakes are very easy to get started as there is no surf and less wind.

MistOne 0 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Kelvin - i was wondering if you were the same bloke as on akff, love your work mate!If your not that familiar with kayaking I would most definitely back what kelvin said and encourage starting off in either westlakes or the onk, the ocean can be a powerful and dangerous place! Seacliff is pretty much a beginners paradise in my opinion, it attracts huge numbers on the yaks so if you did wind up in trouble it is probable that someone would see you!I have also heard this about pt gawler, has anyone tried one further down ( Thompsons beach maybe?) would that be safer? In port gawler I know of two areas to launch, both look somewhat risky to leave the car behind at! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
