YCKFS:E6 Blades, Bibs 'n Jigs
- Written by Josh
Episode 6 of Yakass Coastal Kayak Fishing Show is now live, featuring a bunch of worthy fish - bonnies, mackies, jewie and snapper - caught using an assortment of lures; blades, bibbed and jig varieties. Watch into the credits at the end to see an absolute sterling snapper caught by Alby. It also includes a complete re-edit of the footage shown in the Monster Mulloway clip (which was a teaser for this episode), trimmed of fat and shows the action from a couple of different angles.
If you watch closely you may note that during the snapper-fest montage at the end I am reeling in one particular fish rather vigorously. Although the moment wasn't caught on the cam used in the clip and thus not at all evident in the footage, this hook up came in the vicinity of a reasonably sized shark (that looked like a great white to me), and I think XDCammer - who was on hand to witness it when it happened - would agree that the hook up came right when the lure passed over the exact position of where we watched that shark slowly submarine below.
My ama-mounted camera was filming throughout this entire sequence, capturing the moment when we saw the shark, then passed behind it and the following hook-up. Unfortunately the lens was inadvertantly zoomed in which made the footage pretty much useless. The very same thing occurred during a close-call whale encounter on the very same day, which is a shame considering how much extra spice these two moments would have added to the episode. Such are the challenges and lessons we learn while shooting video from a yak!
The next episode will be live by the end of November and will be an extra-long special on our up-coming yak fishing odyssey at Fraser Island!
