Just to add to the discussion.... I’ve got a Reload (& an OK 4.3 !) and I use the front hatch to store broken down rods / reels , fish finder etc etc when I’m doing surf launches / re entries. It can be accessed from the seat as Grant as suggested by just straddling the yak... ie a leg over each sid...

Welcome back PJay.... mate certainly sounds like you’ve had a few challenges in your life in recent times but glad to hear that you’ve got through it all..

Hi all, with the recent announcements today around how a move to Level 3 will look under the current Covid19 restrictions, there is already a “ground swell” occurring as to whether or not kayak fishing will be permitted. Is a kayak deemed to be a boat ?.... Is a kayak a surf board ? Can I fish 300m ...

Hainesy

Nice...Pt Chev is not a place I’ve fish in the yak or the boat although I hear it can be quite productive

Hainesy

Good on ya !.. yep. ..I think we’re all suffering from withdrawal symptoms of something , so it really comes down to finding something to keep you sane !

Hainesy

Not seen the lanyard before..maybe try AliExpress ?

Hainesy

Nicely set up !

Keep up the great work guys.... people like me who “are removed” from direct contact with healthcare or other essential worker certainly appreciate the efforts you guys and gals are all putting in ! Meanwhile I’ll try and do what I can by staying at home, social distancing and dealing with some moro...

It’s quite likely the wiring...salt water has a bad habit of corroding and killing the wires.... aside from checking the connections and fuse (if you have one) check the wiring all the way up as the corrosion can be well up inside the plastic casing. If you’re not sure, run a couple of dummy wires t...

Looks like a very good deal for someone !

Hainesy

Nice effort !

Hainesy

Sorry Mate, I just desperately wanted this thing. Perhaps someone with the skills will see this and consider manufacturing these things. I couldn't even find anything similar in the US where there are a heck of a lot of old town ad Ocean kayaks floating around. The were designed and made in NZ by a...

Hainesy

Yep... very rare indeed !
Have one in my spare OK Trident 4.3 rig..... wonder how much I could get for it !?

... some times you might have to wait a day or two for the surf to die down. That's a long time to be sitting outside the breakers waiting to come back in... :lol: Remember this story..... waiting for the breakers on this occasion might have been more sensible ! https://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum...

These are the “bees knees” and are the proverbial rocking horse pooh.... very hard to find !

Hainesy

Used to spend a lot of time at Waipu and always just launched straight off the beach. Although in saying that, some times you might have o wait a day or two for the surf to die down..... other times it could be like a mill pond

Hainesy

Welcome aboard...... over the years I’ve done a lot of yak fishing out of Waipu and into Bream Bay with some great fish caught....unfortunately I haven’t fished there for a couple of years not... Winter isn’t a great time but it does pick up from around Labour Weekend especially before the long line...

Hainesy

Excellent..yep for sure..mothership trips are a great way to go

Hainesy

Awesome fish mate !... some fishos will go a lifetime and never catch something that big, so welcome to “the club” !

Hainesy

Cool... thanks for sharing.. will be interested to see how they go !
