A mini revolution is taking place amongst some groups of anglers and that is using a kayak to get into places that have never been fished before! The result is they are catching bigger fish in amazing numbers.

Bream are one of many popular species that anglers are targeting; they are available around the entire coastline and are particularly poplar with anglers in the southern half of this continent.

One example of the sort of fishing you can get is when some friends and I four wheel drove into an isolated estuary on the south coast of NSW last summer.

I won’t mention the name of the estuary; don’t need too-the map is dotted with stacks of them and the thing they share in common is that you can’t get a boat in there so a kayak is ideal.

We didn’t use any hot new techniques; there was simply more fish and less fishing pressure.
