Fished the Yarra for an hour Friday night and for an hour tonight.
Chucked my first line in the water about 5 Friday arvo small running sinker setup with a scrub worm.
Put it down and whilst setting up my other rod for some soft plastics nearly lost it in the drink. Manage to grab it
and had a decent size carp on there. Not alot after that. Hook on a turtle and got that in and got the hook out quick smart and let him go.
Headed back there this arvo and in similar circumstances got a carp with my first cast. Felt a lot bigger this time
and ran straight towards a bank direct to the right of me. I took one step to the left and needless to say went
in the drink up to my chest haha. Much to the laughs of a kayak fisherman 50 metres away. Managed to get out and
land the fish. Phone isnt the same but I'm due for a new one. Stayed for about 30 minutes after that for nothing else.

I'm lost. Some goods snags in that spot if that was you on the kayak. Have a few spots on the bank near there. Nothing but carp i've seen though.
