Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have never ever owned or been in a kayak. Is it possible or practical for a kayaker to wear a safety tether attached to themselves and the kayak to avoid being seperated from their craft in the event of a capsize or roll-over?

Usually I just drag a small fine mesh net through the weeds. A cheap $2.00 kids net from the $2.00 shop is fine. If there's any logs in the water just lift the logs out and check to see if any mudeye are hiding on them. Put the logs back when you're done.

I've been having a read upon them and it does seem that some streams have fair numbers of them.

One of my sons and his friend were fishing a a West Gippsland location today when my sons friend caught a fish he couldn't identify. I was quite excited to receive an email from him with a photo attached. The fish he caught was a Grayling. It's not often that they get caught. So good to see a Grayli...

Hit up a carp spot today to have some fun with the mud marlin. There was nothing doing for a while until about lunchtime when somebody must have pressed the time to start biting button. A steady stream of small carp went on the chew, a mixture of commons and mirrors. Most of the carp were showing ba...
