This week-end coming sees the first Daiwa-Hobie Kayak Fishing World Championshipsbeing held on the Camden Haven River and the Hastings River, Port Macquarie, New South Wales.
The kayak fishing championships, will see anglers from five nations for the prestige of becoming the first Daiwa Hobie Kayak Fishing World Champion angler.
If you're in the Port Macquarie area, there are two great times to check out what is happening. The start of the day at 7am Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 of October. From here you'll be able to see 67 kayak fishers head out for the day, a great sight as the sun comes up. Then later in the day buy yourself a sausage sandwich and a drink from the Taking Point Surf Life Saving Club members from 1:45pm and watch the kayaks return by 2pm. They bring their catch back live and weigh them in. After the Sunday weigh-in the AUSTRALIAN and WORLD CHAMPIONS will be announced.
Hobie Cat Australasia in conjunction with Daiwa Australia, announce that eighteen competitors from five nations, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, USA and Australia, will compete in the inaugural Hobie world kayak fishing championships.
