Re: Kayak wheels - Scupper type
Avoid them. Most scuppers cannot handle the stresses put on them from these, especially with tiny hard wheels. It is very hard to repair splits in the scupper areas . Hobie has factory fitted reinforcements to handle their own wheels for a reason. Beach Wheels Wheeleez are the ultimate, cost a bit m...

Re: Deep diving lures
Savage Gear Manic Prey Diver work well , . Still, it's not a magic bullet, you can drag Dr Evil or anything else, but when they won't bite....they just won't bite.Then you wonder why you bothered. A lot of extra effort for diddly squat in return

Mate. That is a great deal! If I didn't have my heart set on a new Stealth I'd be all over it .

Re: Paddle Shopping Auckland
Fergs kayaks in Orakei, Auckland. Sometimes have some decent specials. There is a canoe and kayak store in the Tron?
Also Viking do a nice carbon paddle, Hunting and Fishing Botany could hook you up.
Stealth kayaks have an Angler edition wing blade that looks good.

Re: Hi from Cambridge area with a with Kayak Dilemma.
Ditto, absolutely the best paddling fishing weapon on the water. I’m looking forward to get my next Stealth, you won’t regret trying one if you can.

Re: NN 27/10
Definitely well done England. And you have no idea how much it hurts to admit that! Great coaching, and a physical,thinking, athletic team, absolutely superior performance.
I’ve stayed off the water at the wife’s “ request” , digging bloody gardens is a damn sight harder than paddling!

Re: NN 20-10
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.

Re: NN The Mayor returns.
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.

Ok thanks for the heads up.Luke 1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 2:48 pmDedant, 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.

Rob Fort is the man for Humminbird. Excellent service and informative too.
Re: Bixpy
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 ?

Re: CKF Kayak Fishing Social Gathering and Competition
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...

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...

Re: Do fish react to fish finders?
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...

Re: Do fish react to fish finders?
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 ...
