Re: Lang lang first timer

Thanks again for all the advice I may head out again during the week to fish the low tide if the wind forecast remains relatively low. It will mean a very early start but I want to give it a go. Northerly wind 6-8 km, & a low Low tide to a high High tide. Yep, I probably need navionics as my sou...

Re: Lang lang first timer

Thanks Happyas. My anchor is on 2 metres of 8mm chain, which seems pretty heavy. I was using shorter, lighter chain in PPB. I have anchor trolley and usually position rope to the stern. I just looked up anchor techniques & realised I should review the length of my anchor line. I think I have 50m...

Re: Lang lang first timer

Went to Lang lang today as planned & had a pretty successful day. We landed 2 small gummies on the flats, & then a decent size one in a small channel, in about 5m depth 1hour after high tide. One was caught on prawn & the other 2 on salmon chunks. Launched & retrieved without inciden...

Re: Lang lang first timer

Thanks guys, the advice is much appreciated. The tide concerns make WPB a bit intimidating for newcomers. I certainly don't want to sit through a tide change, which would also take me well into the night. Sounds like the ramp is the logical place to launch. If 1.8m tide is the minimum to launch/retr...

Lang lang first timer

Hi guys, I would really appreciate some advice before fishing lang lang. I have done most of my kayak fishing in PPB & I'm keen to get familiar with WPB to chase some gummies. I am looking at heading there later next week, as the wind is forecast a bit lower. I will be in Oasis tandem with my 13...

Re: G'day All,

I only got it a few weeks ago. The guy I bought it from is local to that area so probably him that you have seen.

Re: G'day All,

Thanks guys.
Craig, I expect I'll be at black rock a fair bit in the next couple of months. I'll be in a blue oasis with a kid in the front seat, so if you see me out there please give me a yell.

G'day All,

Hi guys, I joined the forum a while ago but only recently got kayak - an oasis tandem - for my son & I. Ultimate goal is to chase big snapper, gummies, & squid. For the moment we are still excited just catching pinkies off black rock as we get familiar with yak, sounder, etc.. Looking forwar...
