Having only fished Werribee once I know that there is quite an area in close and reading " no motor no go " have you a problem that stops you paddling or pedalling these short distancesgreg--maka wrote:I suppose its all dependent on how people have gotten themselves in trouble in the water and misbehaved. I will be looking at a kayak and motor and battery to cover 2 straight hours at most.My use will only be 50-100 meters from the Werribee rocks on a day no more than 5 knots and less than 1/4 meter waves,as i live not far and will and able to pick my days. Speed does not worry me much,haven't made up my mind yet as, no motor no go. It's just to get onto some fish at close range,as walking on those rocks is not very safe.
if so do you think you could trip a kayak up the right way and re enter it in deep water if you did fall out ( by the way having taken an unplanned dip like many others here ) it doesn't take a lot to loose balance and end up in the drink
not being able to get back on would be the biggest thing people get into trouble with
adding a motor and battery add to this problem - we aren't against you using a motor but many of us have seen the pitfalls of not using a boat designed to carry a motor
and most kayaks fall into the not really suitable class
