I also have a 2021 Compass. It's a dream. You won't be disappointed.
I also car top and it's light and easy to manage.
Been out in some strong winds and never had any issues getting back in to shore.
It really is a great kayak!

Re: Smoked Salmon - my best effort yet.
I'm super keen to try smoking aus salmon on my weber (if I can catch any of decent size).
I'd be very keen to hear how these turn out.
Is there an internal temperature that you aim for when smoking fish?

Hobie kayak rescue step
Has anyone used one of these Hobie Kayak Rescue Steps? https://slhobie.com.au/shop/kayak-accessories/safety-lighting/kayak-rescue-step/ I've done a few manual re-entries and I'm ok with it but, not going to lie, it's hard work. These look great and super useful but would love to hear from anyone who...

Re: New to Kayaking
Thanks to all that contributed to my Sunday offer at Werribee south for my first Kayak experience i guess not many Kayak driven people live on this part of town. I missed out on the last booking on the 29 march Kayaking 3 hour safety course south of Melbourne but there is always spring time unless ...

Re: filleting stiff snook
It was fine on the plate. Some salt, pepper and garlic salt in the fry pan. We had them in tacos.
It's rather a bit plain on the tasting side by itself but with some spices and other flavours, it was good.
I wouldn't mind trying to smoke it in the weber.
I didn't notice a smell.

Re: filleting stiff snook
Thanks! I ended up sort of pushing it down until it straightened out and it was fine.

filleting stiff snook
Hi all!
I finally caught something this morning and it was a very long snook. yah! However, it didn't really fit in my cooler and thus has sort of got a bend in it.
How do I get this bend out to fillet it?

where to go - southern winds
Hi guys, Now that Christmas is over, I'm champing at the bit to go out in the yak! Living in Altona, light north winds are my friend but they are few and far between. Can anyone advise a good place to go during light southerly winds in the west? Tuesday is looking like a nice light southern wind and...

Re: which way is the fish going (fish finder question)
I'm not sure what area you are based in Dave, but if you have access to a spot like Altona it is really good for learning how to read a sounder. The section from the ramp at Millers over to the pier is quite shallow where you can see the bottom. It goes from sand at the ramp to reef out from the ro...
