Re: What rods do you take?

Pete and Cheater have covered the safety/boat choice pretty well the only thing I'd add is no prefect one for everything you want to do so chose the one that suits how you see yourself fishing 90% of the time and you'll put up with it for the other 10%. As far as rods go I keep it simple. Western Po...

Re: Hobie outback upgrade

I upgraded by outback with a different seat that made all the difference. Hi, What seat did you use? I have been searching the internet like mad for a seat to upgrade my Dad’s 2014 Outback and it’s hard going. The two main seats that are mentioned are from the USA - Jackson ergo elite 1.0 - Ascend ...

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 roc...

Re: which way is the fish going (fish finder question)

An answer to that assumes the fish is standing still which is probably not the case.
But if the kayak is drifting then the image on your screen is what you just drifted over so you’d have to cast back in the direction you came from for that fish, provided it has stood still.

Re: transducer mount

Silicone on plastic kayaks, sikaflex on composites. Selly's all-clear or marine goop. If you warm it first by placing it in a container of hot water it will flow out better and gve you less bubbles.

Re: Advice on box trailer for the outback

You are better off building your trailer to avoid having to use the class O exemption imho because class O have other restrictions that are less favorable like not travelling under darkness for example. So while it might suit in some situations, it won't work in snapper season and you'll also have i...

Re: New Stealth Fusion 480

I'm keen to see what the speed difference is between the glass kayaks. No doubt the channels on the bottom will add some drag but I assume they will also add some amount of stability side to side. Yes it certainly won't be as fast as the glass skis, as well as having less glide being plastic it is ...
