With the weather looking so promising couldn't let saturday go to waste, decide on gentleman's hours since the eldest has hit that lovely stage of bed sleep good. Arrived around 1 ish, with low tide at 2 things didn't look to promising but the water was like glass so great day for a paddle regardless. Trolled some plastics out echoing the crystal clear water, following a banjo shark around and playing keep the plastic away form the toady for awhile. As we got out to the 7mtr mark spotted a fin disappearing into the water and questioned telling Oli about it or not, then two more came up with a nice curve, all good the dolphin pod was out and playing. They headed our way for awhile and reminded us how awesome kayaking can be before they headed off chasing the bait schools.



 
The annual VYAK Peterborough trip is on again, weather hasn't always been kind but great times and people on each trip. Always great for a catchup around the fire with everyone staying at Great Ocean Road Tourist Park Added some photos from past trips.
 
Weather forecast looked fairly promising if somewhat cold so made a relatively late start and passed Redherring headed the wrong way(poor guy had to work)  arrived at the lake around 11 o'clock. Met up with Wokka who was having a chat to someone who'd been out earlier. After a brief chat and setup we formed a basic plan of attack and headed out.

Conditions were reasonably good with a nice bit of cloud cover and some wind to keep the surface broken up. The plan was to work through the reeded area and trees on the way to the dam wall and island region. We set out together slowly trolling an assortment of lures and plastics. I was trying a white Rapala husky jerk along with a Damiki ripper with a small spinner blade attached to the jighead, Wokka was trying a tassie devil and a small plastic.

Overview
Okay so this is one of my local waters, so not really a fishing with session, but thought I'd share some info to get the ball rolling. Jubilee is located just outside Daylesford and is one of the state government's premier fishing lakes. This means it receives annual stocking of ex brood trout in excess of 2kg. It's a relatively small water with limited shore access although two fishing platforms have been established recently opening up some new grounds to land based fishing. However it's an ideal kayaking location, sheltered from the winds and almost always fishable. Photos and techniques after the break.
