Cool. Enjoy. Drilling that first hole in your new pride and joy is the hardest one to drill.

Everything needed either in or on the hatch. Line clippers in pfd pocket. I also carry when softbaiting and micro jigs, small extra split ring pliers, braid scissors as back up and a knife on my pfd

dedant

I used the Catch brand pliers for a while, they lost the split ring part ( it just sort of got misshaped) Won in a spot prize some Edge brand, much nicer. Great when using kabura/slider or lucanus type things with the small assist hooks. Also releasing off jig heads whilst the fish is still in the w...

Could it have been the 5knot restriction

They are in Hexton, just down the road from where R&V is held. Some debate over “durability “ easy to repair glass, but gelcoat shows the scratches , can be repainted but. There are a couple of guys I know paddling the new 555 Fisha, absolutely rave about them. They are both 6ft though, I’m not. I’m...

Complete with rudder, four rod holders, I added a railblazer mount forward of the hatch on mine to plonk the rod into after landing fish. They have a different “ feel” but I’m too unco to ride a bicycle or skate board and are not a proficient paddler but I loved my Fisha 500, ex demo it was $2G , ne...

Considered a Stealth? Fishability , rod storage , weight on and off the car, ease of paddling, great surf ability ( depends on model) , and glass is just plain classy

Correct!

Ryan has a blue and white banded Fisha460 that I really want to put my name on.

Do not overlook stealth kayaks. They are a paddlers kayak. The most comfortable seating position Ive ever sat in. Despite what sceptics think they are plenty stable enough. And if you're not convinced... Their looks alone should turn heads :wasntme: The stealth is the perfect balance between ease o...

If you can stretch your budget a little bit. There is a really good deal going on an ocean kayak trident 4.3 , complete with everything you could want. Rod an reel, pfd, vhf, c tug etc, $1500 , it’s on Facebook, kayak fishing page.

Great back up and support too from Charlie with the reef kayaks

dedant

I can only comment on the first one , NRS Chinook is what I have. $99 on special I paid for it , five years on its still good.

dedant

There was a Stealth Surfisha 470 available a while back. Don’t know where it ending up? Looked really good though. Could be a few old goat boats pop up on TradeMe?

dedant

Second hand Viking 400 fits your criteria and budget. Also the Reef Kayaks, have a good deal usually around $1000,

dedant

Get out on the water. Seriously, there are more ways to catch snapper than I can type. Follow Rob Forts Reel Screaming Kayaks on You Tube, and jump in with a kayak fishing club, plenty of on water advice to be had.

dedant

Cheap? Don't know. It needs to be the correct fit for you. You will be in it the entire time you are out on your kayak, yes? VHF, knife,whistle are needed to be attached of carried on it, so some pockets are needed. Avoid too much bulky crap in pockets , it makes self rescue difficult. High backed s...

I’ve taken my 7X HOOK2 off the stealth before I sold it due to the thing showing the screen like that. Even tried it off the wharf with the transducer on a stick , no better. It’s never worked properly since the first time I used it. Marine Deals have $600 off me for nothing but an expensive box tha...

dedant

Nice work. Half the fun is in the tying. The natural materials really fluff and pulse in the water but they do lose their bulk a lot more than synthetic swf stuff. Way less buoyant than soft baits I find I need lighter heads to sink slow but then there’s not the weight for casting. The foam is a goo...

dedant

They can easily collect crap when there is no kayak to go on top.

dedant

Good luck with your recovery. I had shoulder surgery last April, no paddling for me for some time yet.
