As usual I spent Easter camping and yak fishing at Cape Hillsborough with my two sons along with several other (dysfunctional) family groups. Have to state straight off the bat that the fishing was crap. However the weather was really conducive to high speed trolling due to the relatively high winds we got for most of the time. We had a range of water craft at our disposal including a sit in kayak, wind surfer, catamaran and of course my AI. The cat was deposited on the beach by a friend who didn't camp, but just visited most days.
On our second day I spent most of the morning sailing with the kids on the tramps having a ball in the wind and waves. After a while the kids got cold so I came in and then let a friend take his daughter out for a sail and I went up to get the fishing gear ready. At this point B1 and B2 (names suppressed to protect the guilty) took the cat out for a sail with the permission of its owner. Well in the winds B1 & B2 made great time and once they had their act together (in their minds) set out offshore. They were flying and obviously having a great time being both experienced sailors however they only had one PFD between the two of them.

Our Fraser Island kayak fishing & sailing expedition really was one of the best kayak fishing experiences any of us have had. Watching this clip it's easy to see why we started planning for Fraser Island 2010 even before our 2009 event was finished.

Demonstrating the island tramps put to great use as passenger carriers. As always, some nice Australiana in the background as well.

This is only my second clip using the Go pro camera, demonstrating my efforts yak fishing & sailing. The fish didn't cooperate so today was really all about sailing and experimenting with camera angles. Watch the clip to see the results.
