Love your work. I’d love to do one of my own one day when I’m back on my feet. Do you have plans for an Aleutian design?
Keep us posted.

I stick it in rudder 1st right up to the windscreen now so it doesn't hang out as far. You are actually allowed 4m of overhang past the rear axle by law - which is pretty much the whole kayak. Anyway, I find this system much easier that racks - zero lifting, just slide her in and out. With hindsigh...

I have not had any experience with that boat, but , 3.0m seems very short to me for an open water kayak, there is a slightly longer version, could be more suited. (I know of one guy that transported a cobra marauder in a long wheel base hiace, with the doors tied together,) don’t be worried about go...

Well done champ. Welcome to “the club”;

I have the warehouse as seen on tv one, bought during a sale. It has been ok but some of the other club guys have more expensive models that do seem to be better . I have done a lot of fish and venison with mine and two tips are remove all bone and spines where possible , they can puncture the bags ...

Answer to your question, yep they are good..for the money.
Next step, try a few different paddles if you can. An upgrade will improve your enjoyment hugely. And you can keep your new paddle if you ever see the need to change your kayak in the future.

Couple of years ago I bought mine from Canoe & Kayak North Shore.

dedant

Yep. Made a few. This one is Zonker strip, bucktail, feather and synthetic.

I have tried small inline singles , the trebles give much better results though. Double hooks seem to maintain the correct action that the snapper seem to like. Don’t go too small in Hook size, the maniacal undersized snapper that hit these things will surprise you! I flatten the barbs for my own pe...

dedant

Awesome. They work good

Squashing the barbs down is safer too. Looks like you swapped to double hooks from the trebles?
You would have to be brave to run diving lures without a depth reading fish finder ay .

I have a Dr Evil you can have for $20. It has seen the water on one trip out so has some scuff marks on the bib.

I need to post on there after I’ve been drinking, bound to get banned too.

I have a Berley Pro on the Lowrance I’m selling. Does all that Hainsey says it does. The Rob Fort cover I had on a previously owned Garmin unit protected the cables and plugs from most of the water water splashes and dunking. Trade off was a slightly more difficult to read display due to the plastic...

Could be nudging 20. My big ones have had the tail wrist too big to close my fingers around. Good indicator. Sometimes long but slender doesn't weigh as much as you'd expect
All depends on the condition. Bloody good fish

I have purchased clam covers, machine screws ,nuts and washers etc from the chandler at WestPark Marina before. I think he’s closed now, so Smart Marine in Glenfield might be the closest for you. Clam cover either side , nuts and bolts , and filled with Selleys Allclear or Holdfast MS Clear or the S...

The fish finder screen absolutely lights up when you cross behind the big boats in the channel!
