The Queensland saying “Beautiful one day, perfect the next” held true for Round 10 of the Hobie Kayak Bream Series in what was an exceptional weekend’s kayak fishing! Almost the entire field of 27 anglers returned to the Daiwa event site with full bags of 4 bream on both days and total of 196 bream were brough to the scales with a combined weight of 91.07kg.
Competitors took off from the Power-Pole starting line in near perfect conditions with a light breeze and good cloud cover on the first day of competition. Spreading out across the arena, many anglers worked the canals in Sovereign Island, while others went further afield, as far as Sea World, near the Narrang River, and even a few bagged out directly in front of the launch site under Ephraim Island Bridge.
The bream were on the bite early with many anglers getting their bag of 4 bream by 11:00am and then spent the rest of the day working the numbers and upgrading. At the end of day one, 23 anglers returned to the Hobie Event Trailer with full bags of 4 bream. It was
Kendal
Soo, from Brisbane, who was the TT Lures Leader of the day with 4 bream weighing 2.54kg, a 500g lead over nearest competitor, fellow Queenslander, Michael Maas with 4 for 2.23kg.
Only 500g separated the top 5 going into day two of the competition when a tight field of anglers would battle it out for one of two qualifying spots in the Hobie Kayak Bream Series Australian Championship to be held on Lake Macquarie later this year.
The quality conditions continued into day two and we saw another great day on the Gold Coast with 25 anglers bring full bags to the scales for weigh in.
At the end of the weigh in it was Kendall
Soo from Brisbane, Queensland who took the top prize of Round 10 and qualified for the Australian Championship. Kendal caught 8 bream over the two days weighing a total of 4.79kg and received $810.00 plus a Daiwa sponsors prize pack for his efforts.
Kendall fishes the Gold Coast often and had a good idea of his plan of attack going in to the competition.
“I knew coming into the tournament that they’d been pulling good bags out of Sovereign in the last few comps and
that there’s always big fish in there too. I fished it all day! “
“Coming in to day two with a 500g lead I was quietly confident but a bit edgy out there when I couldn’t catch them
this morning. Today was a bit harder than yesterday but I’m just stoked that I got them and qualified for the
Australian Championship. “Winning Tackle
Winning Ways
“Just consistently working the canals. I just went up and down it for the whole two days.”
Mark
Young from the Central Coast of New South Wales took second place with 8 bream for 4.72kg closing the day one gap, giving Kendal a run for his money and securing himself a place in the Australian Championship.
Fishing the Gold Coast for the first time, Mark had no real plan of attack coming in to the comp but got some advice off a mate that paid off!
“Bryce Beechy, who’s a local here, gave me a bit of advice and told me I’d find the bigger fish out in the running
water on the east side of Sovereign Island. I fished the canals of Sovereign Island early and got a small bag and
then headed around the back where Bryce said and focused on upgrading and it paid off”.
Tackle Used
Warren Cossell held on to his Hog’s Breath Café, Boss Hog Big
Bream from day 1 and walked away with $100.00 for his his efforts. He landed the 820g bag kicker on a Berkley Crabby, in Chocolate Sparkle, fished on a 1/60th hidden weight jighead.
“I was just flicking it up against the pontoons, letting it slowly sink down and the bream were taking it as it got
to the bottom.
Next Round
Round 11 of the Hobie Kayak Bream Series will be on Sunday the 9th of August on St Georges Basin on the New South Wales, south coast. The event will be run by Southern Bream Series and you can enter online at: http://www.basinlureandfly.org.au/skeeter-powerpole-round-7-entry/

Gold Coast, Queensland, 25TH July 2015
Round 10 of the Hobie® Kayak Bream Series presented by Daiwa on the Gold Coast in Queensland saw 27 anglers take off from the Power-Pole Start line in what was to become a great day on the water.
23 of 27 anglers returned with full bags of 4 bream after the first session and ultimately, it was Kendal
Soo, from Brisbane, who was the TT Lures Leader of the Day with 4 for 2.54kg. Kendal was followed closely by, fellow Queenslander,
Michael Maas with 4 for 2.23kg and Mark
Young, from New South Wales, who is currently in 3rd place on today’s Lowrance Leaderboard with 4 bream for 2.20kg.
Competitors took off in near perfect conditions with a light breeze and good cloud cover bringing on the bite. They spread out across the arena, with many anglers working the Canals in Sovereign Island while others went further afield and even a few bagged out as close as Ephraim Island Bridge directly in front of the launch site.
The bream were on the bite, early with many anglers bagging out by 11:00am to spend the rest of the day working the numbers on upgrades. After day one, the chase for the
Hog’s Breath Café Boss Hog Big Bream, the biggest fish of the tournament, was headed by
Warren Cossell, from Queensland, with an 820 gram specimen.
With only 500 grams separating the top 5 and a tight field of competitors still with in reach of qualifying for the Hobie Kayak Bream Series Australian Championship, we are in for what looks to be another excellent session tomorrow.
