Re: Skippies in Lake Victoria
Well done on getting your kid onto some fish. Those Taylor are pretty good eating if bled and iced. They should also get you a good gummy out the front. Good Luck and let us know how you go.

Re: Skippies in Lake Victoria
Had another great session kept what is in the pic and released about 30 odd .
I also had my sons GF in the boat and she had a ball so now she wants to get her own rod so there's another added to the fold .
It started pretty slow for her as she couldn't cast past 10m and now she is doing 30+ so that's a great effort.

Re: Skippies in Lake Victoria
Pelagic fish everywhere at the moment. Salmon along the cliffs at lakes, big ones amongst them. An odd kingfish getting caught too. Slimey mackerel are so thick offshore you get a string of them every drop on sabikis. Had a go at the pines for flatties but only small ones. Heard people did alright in 25 mts, try there next time.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Now when you say cliffs do you mean along the rock wall from North arm down towards Nyerimilang.
