Shawn, the site administrator, is also the Malibu reseller in Western Australia. If you look at the Fishyak website you'll see a couple of pictures of Team OEX/Malibu origin. I think Malibu Kayaks provided some of the graphics. Shawn is doing a great job of building up Malibu's market share in Australia. The fishing-specific kayak market in Oz has been dominated by Perception, OK and Hobie, but Malibu is now making some strong inroads.

It's a small kayak world after all......

Hey dude whats up, if you know what I mean,. I was raised in California but love the land downunder. My wifes parents are from Bundy. I was in Australia last christmas fishing and freediving the reef at Lady Elliot Island. The best place on Earth is Fraiser Island. tell us more about fishing in Australia. P.S. to bad about John Howard!. The poor bastard.lol

yeah, I agree......poor Johnny. He was the best thing that ever happened to Australia, the economy, US relations and our military. Watch the Aussie dollar fall, interest rates go up, defence budget cut and the country go back into debt as has done under every labour government before, (the dollar is already falling)

Back to the fishing though,

Fraser is a great place and there is just so many to list. I hope to get stuck into as much as I can when the Xfactor arrives so I can show you plenty of pictures and good ol' Aussie fish.

I will get some good pics of the humble bream and flatheads (our bread and butter estaury species) as that will be the main type of fishing I do. I also do alot of freshwater fishing for Bass ( a bit different to the large and small mouth), Yellow Belly (Golden Perch) and the Iconic Murray Cod.

I will also be throwing up a few pics of the Magnificent Barramundi. I hope to do a bit of offshore stuff also, but I am new to this. Hopefully I will get some Tuna, Mackeral, Snapper, Pearl Perch and a few others to show you.

Alot of fishing ahead (and sucking up to the wife), so in the interest of keeping up international relations in John Howards abscence, I will do my best

An average size Australian Bass

I think I will mainly target the Snapper because I love eating them

But I will put heaps of effort into the Tuna and other pelagics as they are really good fun
