Went snapper fishing on Port Phillip Bay the other night on my 14' x 25" dugout race board. Only got 1 under sized snapper. Was all good till a massive seal as big as the board appeared out of the dark right next to me.
Lucky I had a change of underwear in the car
Trolling lures for salmon, casting lures bream and squiding from my 14x29.
Attached a small esky with rod holders and take off.
Great fun and always get a feed of squid at least. Best part is it's normally from my surf spots on flat days :)
One under size Spanish Flag on my 8'10 Allwave in Exmouth
The water was so glassy I had to give it a go
that's Ms Woo ...I think from california
Hard to overlook Annie Doyle also for her keep it simple approach

Done a fair bit of trolling and casting lures.......Be careful ....Small fish attract bigger fish.
Fishing for calamari over the weed beds is my favourite ..
lazy-man method. made this based on an idea i found here a few years ago. this was my maiden voyage on the thing. since then i've added a rod holder and caught a bunch of fish. all you need is some big pvc pipe, a milk crate, a stadium seat and some bungey cords. looks goofy but i look goofy too so, hey, it works for me!
When I go sup fishing I tie about 3m of line to thong and and a scented plastic attached to the end, seems to go alright
It's great fun. I paddle for training up my nearby river along the snags and bank and always get a feed of bream etc. my board is only a short 9' surf shape so I can't use a seat but I made a rod holder that's dead easy. Buy a large double suction cup end glass carrier from eBay which you can suck onto the nose of the board. In the middle handle part I then attached a standard rail mounted boat rod holder from bias boating etc. I made up a short rod with an alvey rod held in by a short occy strap and troll along. I use an alvey, as any eggbeater will quickly die if I get turned over. Dead easy rod mount and you just unclip it when not used. Cost about $30 all up.
