Sovereign Harbour Kayak Fishing New Sport

Out of my window overlooking the beach on a quite sunny day, I noticed this man walking toward the water with a light Kayak over his head, rack sack on his back and carrying a fishing rod.

I was intrigued to how he is going to attach the rod to the kayak.

The man took his Kayak from over his head.

To the back of the Kayak, he made a wooden platform with a whole to fit the rod.

He put his rack sack over the platform and away he went into the water.

He peddled far away from the beach then he turned round his back, cast the rod into the water and away he peddled again.

With my binoculars I followed him and it did not take much time, the fishing rod started bending - this is a sign that a fish come to the end of its life ready for dinner tonight.

I couldn't beleive my eyes - the man took the fish from the rod and put it in an improvised net which was attached to the wooden platform and based into the water.

I thought what a wounderful idea for others in the Harbour to start a Kayak Fishing Competition or for those keen fishing enthusiasts to start a new trend of Kayak Fishing in Sovereign Harbour.
