Welcome back.
North Shore Club meeting this week, Up north trip to Oakura the second weekend of June would be a good outing .

dedant

Yep. Out from Martin's Bay yesterday morning with the North Shore Kayak Fishing Club , did well. Nothing huge but the fish we're there in patches. I was lucky enough to blunder on a good area, some others not so much.

I have an order of Dr Evil lures arriving soon. They will be $20 ea plus postage or $35 for two if collected.

dedant

Yes , single hooks on the Manic Prey. When I hear a strike I paddle a few hard strokes whilst turning in the direction the rod is on , hopefully sets the hook(s) and gets the line angled out away and not directly behind when I get the rod out of the holder

The yellow pvc ones the Warehouse sold for around $25 would do you fine. Add a float, they will sink, you don't want it to end up underneath you, other retailers will stock them , MarineDeals do. 18" or 24" size.

Nice day. I only kept two around 35 cm. Could have had a limit bag of 30 cm fish and a load of sub legal snaps! I know of one decent kingi landed amongst all the rats around the saddle island reefs.

Striker plus has quickdraw contour mapping. Makes your own chart . All too techo for my low brow knuckle dragging intellect.

There could be quite a few turn up.Listen on ch 08 on the VHF. If I'm there I'll be on the Stealth with the little orange blaze.

Your $500 would get you a Garmin Striker 5 , basic GPS ( not charts) chirp and down vision. I had one on my previous kayak and think the picture and the overall quality is superior to the Hook2 unit I have now. You'll still need a battery and charger plus a few miscellaneous bits a pieces for mounti...

What time does the gate open?

dedant

Certainly more trust in those than the no name cheaper versions. There is support and warranty back up with Charlie and co. Black is not a colour I would like in the blazing hot sun however.

I can endorse the Savage Gear Manic Prey Diver as a snapper catcher. Bought recently and tried it on last weekend's club trip. Yes. Worked well . Attracted some big strikes in water to 8m deep. Dropped two good fish one after the other when the hooks pulled ( trevs maybe ? ) multiple snapper . Easy ...

The Phoenix Hornet new, including seat and basic paddle is right on your budget. Made local and fantastic after sales .Another well priced but larger and heavier option is a Reefmaster , has good support from the local operater.

Check out the Viking website. Search " kayak loading" . Two videos show easy technique for loading on to roof racks.

I am still interested in trying the GP out. But the thought of turning right back on to sh1 on good Friday with all that traffic put me off. Coming north again next Friday, possibly call in then if I'm not too late.

I have the wheeleez mini. Cost less than the Sandtrax C Tug. Fantastic over sand! The full size ones are even better. The smaller wheels on mine mean I can store them onboard if I wanted ,to I prefer to run them back up to car though. The cost will be long forgotten after you start using them! They ...

Bright coloured mono was great for deckies and skippers on game fishing boats . See the line easily

dedant

Minister or NO relented! I am shocked and pleased to be getting a new one.

dedant

Any charts at all? I am Keen to have a look. My Minister of NO said I could .
