To avoid the Marathon road chaos I went out at Murray’s Bay, no idea as I hadn’t been off the beach there before. Came home empty handed. I bow to you sir, you have conquered all before you once again.

I still have the moulds for the ute box, wonder what they would go for.

Did your composite fishing kayak get any momentum? I’ve fished from a Stealth now and can understand the attraction.

Sunday morning fishing will be determined by the All Blacks. If results go the wrong way I may just drown my sorrows and be unfit to drive.

Dedant, don't make the same mistake as one of my other novice pupil's, namely Doc Profit, did last year.
It's The Marathon and NN is a no go area all morning.
Obviously as Mayor I'll be cutting the starting tape and am also afforded privileged Mayoral parking.

Ok thanks for the heads up.

Sunday is looking the best so far for the week. May need to get my passport stamped and head over . Only second time out since before my fall last February, take it easy on me, please.

Rob Fort is the man for Humminbird. Excellent service and informative too.

The fishing advantages can be had with a PDL or Hobie Mirage 180 as well . I have an irrational fear of electrckery and gadgets myself. It’s a wonder if I’ll ever catch a fish with a paddle and primitive people power only non battery kayak ever again ?

Highly recommend this event to anyone who hasn’t been yet. Fantastic weekend and brilliantly run. Unfortunately due to health and financial problems I will not get there this year. My recovery following shoulder surgery is going well , I’ll be back in the saddle next year. All the best to all attend...

Keep them coming. Be safe out there.

I wondered anyone here has this model and can answer a question for me. https://www.wavepassion.co.nz/Kayak/Fishing-Kayak/Angler-14Ft-Kayak-Package I got the Fishmaster Elite 4 from these guys and am very happy with it, excepting that I'm 116 Kg now and I find that the 'yak is a little low in the w...

I can't believe how damn cheap that is for what is effectively a copy of the Prowler Ultra 4.3 BUT as others have said if you are thinking the Fishmaster sits low in the water I'd be wanting to try the kayak in the water before parting with my money as I'd think based on the design the Fishmaster w...

Propeller noise and objects dropped in the hull of a tinny have an adverse effect on shy biting fish in the shallows, but kingies will come in at the rattling anchor chain all agitated and looking to bite. Water sprayed over the surface can hold tuna up on the top water. Could be a long and involved...

I've sight dropped a lure directly onto a 10kg Snap under my yak in 2m of water, in the "wild" far north with no issues, sounder banging away. Elasmobranchs however... I've seen a bay of Eagle Rays scatter as I glided (glid?) in quietly with the sounder running. 2 meters of water, the cone of most ...

Shiny new wireless has arrived in the post. FYI Coastgaurd course for Maritime VHF Radio Cerificate is $90 for the online course or $125 for the 6 hour classroom option. Jaysus that's gone up in the last couple of years! I sat the course as part of the Boatmaster cert. around 1994 ish. Can’t rememb...

So the paddle I got with my yak is pretty rubbish, a local sports shop is having a closing down sale, as a result they have some Viking paddles going cheap. Is it a sin to paddle a OK with a Viking paddle?? Alternatively are there any recommendations for a half decent paddle under $100 No , and no :)

Will they fit euro style wing bars?

Now I have to find another client that wants to sell their Stealth, PDL or Jetski

Chase the Stealth, bro, you won’t regret it

I understand the situation with your kids. Most of my neighbours have work based in Auckland, but work from home. I seem to be the only mug that gets out of bed at 0630 every morning to go to work. Could you work from home in the future? 6:30? Luxury! I need to set the alarm for 5 to start at 7 . 2...

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