Episode 11 underscores the mid-winter kayak fishing experience around the nth coast of NSW with a varied collection of commonly encountered fish. This 10-minute segment covers action spanning 2 days shared between Shark Bay and Brooms Head with Doug and Alby. Some nice whale watching included capped off a reasonably action packed day, that although without producing any monster fish, kept us all eating pretty well. 

Flatwater fishing for flat-headed fish

War on Fish kayak fishing show, episode 10: Flatwater fishing for flat-headed fish on my local waters on the Clarence river Maclean. Featured species, flathead, with a couple of guest species appearances. Plenty of fish caught in this clip, all of them on soft plastic lures - Gulp minnows running hot one day, tiny squidgy flickbaits on the other.

Clarence Coast overnighter expedition: Launching from Woody Head I sail 18km nth through Shark bay up past Black Rock and back again (camping on the beach in between legs), trolling a lure the entire way. A few fish caught, including tailor, stripey tuna and longtail tuna. Great sailing conditions for the Hobie Adventure Island

War on Fish kayak fishing show - episode 8: offshore antics. Using the Adventure Island fully rigged as a trimaran to troll around offshore at Brooms Head & Woody Head, resulting in catches of small mack tuna, not small snapper and average-sized tailor (one of which came perilously close to being sharked next to the yak). Also features the recent marlin hook-up by Louis Swart, condensed down and with some sfx trickery to bring the jumping fish a bit closer into view.

Episode 7 of War on Fish takes place entirely on the Clarence river, predominantly at Rocky Mouth, Maclean (bass, bream & flathead) followed by a few minutes footage from Copmanhurst, where Holger swamps his Adventure Island with water and experiments with a newly installed electrical bilge pump. This river is about 100 metres from my doorstep... I don't know why I don't fish it more often.

Episode 6 of War on Fish is now live, fittingly titled 'Monster hookup at Sth West Rocks'. The name of this episode gives much of the content away, and although the fish isn't sighted, this footage will show you what it's like to hook up to an unstoppable beast from the deep (most likely yellowfin tuna). Small fish aren't totally neglected either, with a few small bonito showing up, as well as a massive school of eagle rays. Somewhere along the line I manage to sneak in a few words about how and why I use the RAM revo rod holder, and if you look real close, you might just spot last weekend's east coast tsunami roll quietly underneath me.
