Not new but back

After several years away from yak fishing, I’m back into it! Buggered my shoulder paddling back in from lysaughts a few years back, ended up having a reconstruction, sold my yak and bought a stink boat, then a slightly bigger stink boat! On the plus side I learnt a lot more about fishing WPB when ab...

Re: Western port Structure

Yep good advice.......that's why I didn't anchor out in the middle just in case :shock: Even over by the spit it was pretty damn quick but I am relatively comfortable with my procedure......that said I did make sure I had my knife very close at hand just in case, I'd have no hesitation whatsoever in...

Western port Structure

I decided it was time to graduate to a more challenging area of WPB last night, I've been fishing sand holes off of somers, balnarring and shoreham learning to set anchor and use gear without going over the side! I paddled out from stony point and headed due east almost to tankerton jetty, stopping ...

Re: Hobie Mirage Fishing Kayak Guide

Oh my, having seen one and watching a whole lot of YouTube etc........ I really really want an adventure island! I can paddle it and it wouldn't be terribly more difficult to load etc onto the ute than my current yak (only 60 cm longer) so could still do the last minute decision to head out I could ...

Re: Hobie Mirage Fishing Kayak Guide

So having read the article from page 1 of this post, it seems that if I wished to get a hobie that would be a replacement for my midway which is 4.4 m by 65cm with 23kg weight I'd be looking at either a revo 13 or 16. Both look as if they would be more than comparable speed wise, I'm assuming that u...

Re: New midway

I was actually considering some flush mounts just behind the seat facing forward and a little outwards....I think there may be just enough space both surface and void to do this. I have an interesting idea to make some accessible storage using retractable bags or plastic cylinders on bungies at the ...

Re: New midway

I had thought of something similar to that........positioning in front of my feet like in the vid would not work though....no way I could reach them to get rods out! I had considered mounting one in place of where the single one is currently (see photos on page 1 of this thread) but my legs would ha...
