Catch you on the water sometime Dave, fished with Tim a few times myself

Trust me, if I don't outfish him, I'll hear about it!
Don't like my chances though.

A change in life circumstances saw me sell my motorbike, and to fill the void that that left (in the garage), I went and met up with another vyak member to check out his 2013 PA14 The breaking point for me when using my RTM K-Largo was fishing out at Wendouree, having to pick up the paddling pace in...

RTM sold shortly after I posted up the price, so unfortunately IF you were to look at a longer yak, that one is no longer available. I don't see anything wrong with your purchase, it will just be a restriction in its capabilities compared to a longer yak. As I've always been told - nothing wrong wit...

All good, no rush to sell. Has been a good first yak, will wait til the right home comes along

was just thinking the same thing, sounds like a plan!

Further on the length issue, going by charts, I need a 230cm or thereabouts. Does this sound right, or should I get away with a 220?

Hey guys,
Looking at replacing my seak paddle with a carbon fibre number.
My kayak is 31inches wide, I'm 5'10. I've found a paddle that is 217cm long (pictured)
Thoughts on if this would be suitable?
any help/advice is appreciated

Thanks brother!
Cheers for the welcome guys.
Most planning to fish port Phillip and Westernport. I'm from out west so most often would be launching from altona/Werribee
