G'day everyone. Just bought myself a Hobie Outback with the intention of fishing in Port Phillip and Westernport. This looks like one of the few forums still around with a bit of activity, so I thought I'd sign up.

Can't wait to get it out on the water, despite the cold. Monday looks like conditions won't be terrible, just got to work out a launch site.

Welcome Martin, great yak. Not much activity on here atm LoL.

Welcome Martin. The depths of winter aren't that inviting but there's still a few of us getting out and about.

If you've not fished of a yak much then definitely check out some of the info on here on gear, clothing techniques etc.

Welcome Martin! Yeah it's definitely a lot quieter here over winter but it picks up a bit when the reds start to come into the bay.

As Shane said there is a lot of good information on here to get lost in so spend a bit of time going through the old posts when the weather is no good. I think I learnt everything to do with kayak fishing from here.

Monday looks good at the minute for a fish, hopefully I'll get out on Tuesday assuming I get a day pass.
