Yak Fisher Magazine Sept-Nov YAK 31 Vorige editie

Issue 31 of Yak Fisher bursts into Spring with some crackerjack reading. From the wild west, the annual salmon migration along the Western Australian coast is a major event for many anglers. The heavy reduction in commercial salmon netting has fuelled an increase in W.A. thumper beast numbers, and as a result has been given the thumbs up from recreational fishermen. Damian Bowman recounts a day to remember, and details the methods required to experience similar salmon madness. It’s easy to take certain lure designs for granted, particularly when the base shape hasn’t changed for four hundred years. Robbie Waller catches up with Paul Carter to discuss the evolution of squid jigs, and what to look out for the next time you’re faced with a wall of options at your local tackle store. Kayak fishing expeditions can be a lot of fun, provided the correct planning and preparation takes place beforehand. Josh Holmes provides a detailed explanation of all the things you need to consider before organising your trip of a lifetime. For many kayakers, the idea of targeting sharks doesn’t come across as all that appealing; however Shane Esmore embraces the seven gill challenge and suggests more kayak anglers do the same. If you aren’t from Tasmania, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Ansons Bay, but as Gard Saxon explains, it’s well worth a look. The species are numerous, the waters are safe for kayakers, and there are plenty of places to camp... it doesn’t get much better than that. There’s also plenty of news, regular columns, and reviews.
