Yakabout - Australian East Coast Kayak FishingImportant update: On the 5th of Dec 2009, Josh shut down the yakabout forums and various other modules and set up Yakabout as a static website, serving partly as a content archive (of the early trip reports, videos and photos in particular). On the very same day Josh launched his new site, the spiritual successor to Yakabout, Yakass.net Yakass.net is updated frequently and is basically taking over from where Yakabout left off. Although similar in format, Yakass.net is a superior site in every way, and some of the best content from yakabout has been ported in to the archives of yakass.net. So be sure to bookmark yakass.net and check back frequently to stay up to date in the world of coastal kayak fishing About Yakabout...  Yakabout Disclaimer: Coastal kayak fishing out wide off-shore can be potentially dangerous and even life-threatening. Only those who are reasonably fit and have ample experience with kayaking, as well as kayak fishing combined with a good understanding of the sea and all required safety gear should attempt it. Seeking an accredited sea-kayaking training course is highly recomemnded... even if you use a pedal and or sail-powered style yak.
 Josh Holmes Acquiring the bug from an early age, Josh has been fishing for nearly 30 years and has been doing so from a kayak for almost a decade of that time. He is now a fully-fledged kayak fishing addict and completely beyond the point of rehabilitaion. Since being introduced to Hobie kayaks, Josh has traversed over 10000km on the water (no, not all in one go), in a myriad of ideal yak fishing destinations, from Apollo Bay Victoria to Townsville QLD, and landing some beautiful fish along the way. Josh ended his east coast yak fishing expedition 8 months after it began to work for a year with HobieCat Australasia in Jervis Bay. He now works with Maclean Outdoors, Nth NSW, demonstrating, selling and servicing Hobie kayaks. When not working at the shop, Josh can usually be found kayak fishing the rivers, estuaries or offshore waters around the Clarence coast region, or otherwise tinkering away with this site. Josh is a member of the Hobie factory fishing team, and is also sponsored by Innovator Nitro rods. This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it |
