Fishing Summary, August 2016

Facebook provides an excellent and simple facility for conducting group discussions in text form, including support for still pictures and movies. As a result, with our Facebook Group page we have better media-rich communication within Noosa Yakkers than ever before, with lots of info and useful material appearing on our Group page because it's so easy to post. Not on Facebook? Don't despair. We have no intention of dropping our tried and true Google Group email or our indispensable blog of Trip Reports and general useful yak fishing info. I'd just encourage you to dip your paddle in the Facebook sea and give it a try. If the oldest members of Noosa Yakkers can do it probably you can.

We're concerned that Trip Report info which is appearing on our Facebook page but not on our Trip Report blog is not getting out to the non-FB element of our community, especially prospective new members. To try to bridge that gap here's one approach: a monthly summary, published on the blog. Any constructive ideas to improve this summary and/or volunteered editorial skills are welcomed.

Any Noosa Yakkers member who doesn't wish his or her Noosa Yakkers Facebook posts to be reproduced in this blog should contact a committee member.

Summary August 2016

This post on our Trip Reports blog is a monthly brief summary of fishing trip information which has been posted on our Facebook Group page or elsewhere. We must point out that there's much more information and banter appearing on our Facebook Group page than we can possibly summarise here. Noosa Yakkers Facebook Group

jbone posted, but removed his post soon afterward (don't know why). Anyway, he'd caught this very nice longtail at Sunshine Reef. Image recovered from email.

Twitch and Take (turn on sound). Try this, it may help you catch more snapper. Certainly my twitching outfit catches more fish than the non-twitching one. #noosayakkers #kayakfishing #stealthkayak #stealthkayaks #DiscoverQueensland #noosa #kayakspecialists #fishingnoosa #snapper
