So bit of a different day today, I don't have the boat on the back today,
you might be able to see that though there.
I've, actually got the kayak on the roof, So just going to go and exploring a little
bit.
Hopefully find some permit or something. and something different.
The weather is looking spectacular at the moment.
Only thing is I've got to carry the kayak about 400 meters down to the water.
So I'm just going to drive down the beach a little bit and make it easier for me.
I'm going to leave the car here, and a lot of beaches have these shoe tree's,
interesting little phenomena.
Lets go fishing.
I'm not totally excited about carrying about 40kg of kayak, fishing gear and an anchor
down to the water. But I like adventure.
So I'm in this little channel here, it's definitely easier than walking,
I'm pretty sure I'll have to drag it through some very shallow bits, but I'm paddling along
ok in about 3 inches of water here.
It might seem a little odd, but I'm actually dragging the kayak up a little gutter here
so i can be on the right part of the sand bar.
The reason I've got the kayak is that when the tide comes in I don't have to swim across
a shark and crocodile infested river.
So it's literally just a way to get back, Im almost there.
Well, that's where I'm going to leave the kayak, and hopefully it's here when I need
it to go home.
And that's where I'm going.
There's a permit, looks like he's just eaten something, yep. He's cruising into the shallows
here, he's going pretty fast.
That could be in front of him. Could be. Might see it. No, I think he's too far in.
Go again.
Ok, I've just tied on another fly, I've still got that same Permit in front of me here.
He's very stationary, I'm very likely to spook him here with the cast.
That's a little short of him, don't think he's going to see that. Alright, go again.
I'll go a little further in front of him. Uh that's, very close to him, it's right on
him.
Has he seen it? Ooo I think he's on it, maybe, he could be, I think he's trying to eat it,
ok he just..... I don't know, he looks like he could be following it, but he hasn't eaten
it.
So I just spent the last 15 minutes chasing this guy, (puffing) , he's really shallow
now. Ohh, and he's going again.
I got two in front of me here, their not huge.... (sigh), their going the other way now, one
just ate.
Lets go a bit closer, oh! That's right in front of them. One might have gone over to
look at it! YEP, aww, that was a touch. That was a touch, definitely a touch. AND ON, YES
A PERMIT!! WOO HOO!!
It's a Permit! Aw yeah. Clear this line. (breath heavy)
Ahh yeah, woo hoo!
Ahh, come on little guy. Yeah they're still together, Ohh jumping Permit! Never seen that
before. WOW! Yes they are still together. (reel spins)
Oh yeah.
He's not huge, but he's still a very nice fish.
Those other two must have been huge Permit, like towards the 80-90cm.
There we go. Ahh look at that, beautiful fish!
He would be 65-70cm, nice!
Look at the colors on that fish, that's just beautiful.
Put you back in the water dude, you can swim away.
Thank you fish.....
