Tasmania Fishing

I was hoping to get some kayak fishing done on our recent trip to Tasmania so much so I dragged an inflatable kayak with me on my checked luggage but high winds kept me off the water. Tasmania might be the windiest place I've ever visited on planet Earth. Despite not getting out on the water we did a fair amount of shore fishing and enjoyed some spectacular wildlife and scenery which was the primary purpose of our trip. I'll be posting several videos over the next few weeks of our fishing adventures in the land of the devil.

Great Video!  I am excited to see the others that come out!

Great video, USP!

Tasmania's wildlife is as or more interesting than the fishing.

Great videos. Looks like and awesome trip. Thanks!

Really fun video!  Great adventure!

I want a pet Wombat too!

I don't think our basset  hound or our rat terrier mix would allow it  ....

Chasing the world's largest crayfish, talking extinct marsupial tigers, and tenkara fishing for Tasman Brown Trout.

Squid or Southern Calamari were abundant in coastal weedbeds and easily caught by shore bound anglers. We ate fresh squid on several occasions and also used them heavily for bait when targeting other inshore species.

This was my favorite day of fishing in Tasmania. We backpacked several miles into a remote beach in Freycinet NP and immediately stumbled upon a large school of Australian Salmon. Sidra got a treble hook driven thru her hand but after getting it out proceeded to continue on like a champ. After the salmon school moved on we caught mackeral and the bizarre and acrobatic Australian Snook.
