 The Victorian township of Nelson played host to the opening round of the 2009/2010 Hobie BREAM Kayak Series, with 29 day one and 32 day two anglers hitting the waters of the Glenelg River to kick start the series.
The first of 13 qualifying rounds in the series saw anglers pitted against a freshwater plagued river system that produced tough fishing and a seemingly over supply of undersize fish and an under supply of legal fish.
Claiming first bragging rights for the season was 33 year old NSW south coast breamer Greg Lewis who waiting until day two to make his mark, delivering the only full limit (3/3, 1.82kg) to the scales for the tournament to secure victory.
Fishing upriver of the tournament start line Lewis focused his attention on a section of river located half way along the ski zone.
"My original plan was to fish down the bottom near the mouth, but it was just too crowded so I decided to head upriver and find my own water", explained Lewis.
The move was spot on with Lewis sounding fishing holding tight to the bottom with his Lowrance HDS 5X sounder then using an aggressive rip, drop, and drag blade presentation to catch his bag.
Working a dark coloured Ecogear VX blade out from the edge and into about seven metres of water Lewis found the fish willing to take the lure at different stages of the retrieve.
"Sometimes they'd hit the lure as you were dragging it across the bottom, while at other times they pick it up off the bottom as it sat motionless", explained the Glenelg River Hobie champ.
Catching his first legal fish at 9.30am and his second at 10.30am Lewis then hit a slow patch with legal fishing playing hard to get.
"I struggled to get my third, so I left it alone for an hour in the hope that giving it a rest would get them back on the bite", explained Lewis.
With plenty of bait in the area and solid showings on the sounder Lewis was quickly rewarded on his return.
"I had my third legal and an upgrade by midday so giving it a rest definitely paid off", explained a satisfied Lewis.
