Gummy hunt at Lang Lang with video
I recently picked up a cheap $50 gopro knockoff video camera and was keen to try it out.
So a gummy hunt was needed to be done.
The plan was to launch on a rising high tide at 6am, and be back in before midday, otherwise there wouldn't be enough water to come back in on, as there is a lot of thick gooey mud here if you don't pay attention and respect to the tides when launching or coming back to shore.
Luckily though I picked up my 2 gummy sharks pretty quickly and was back in by 9am.
Here is my first attempt with the new video camera. Of course the quality though looks crappy when uploaded to YouTube. Straight off the camera it wasn't too bad!
Need some tweaking with the positioning of the camera to get the results, but it came out ok I think.
To provide a bit more excitement I tried lifting them into the kayak when they still had plenty of life... They then just went nuts and took off on a run again instead! :lol:
It goes for about 9 minutes... Enjoy! :thumbsup:

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish

Yeah! I am pretty sure I need to get a little yak. Looks like a great way to spend the day fishing. Great effort on the gummies.

Re: Gummy hunt at Lang Lang with video
about time you pulled the yak out again Phill - like a few other punters we know I thought the blackberries maybe growing over your yak
Good to see you get some fresh flake - I headed down further and picked up a good feed of whiting ( 18 of them )and big gars
I droped past LL on the way home but you had well and trully gone by then

Re: Gummy hunt at Lang Lang with video
The kayak was over due for a swim, and I haven't had much spare time lately.
Where are you going tomorrow. I'm keen for another gummy hunt, although a feed of whiting would be yummy!
