Re: Tandem fishing kayak recommendations
Hi Mental, what is the cost of the fortress going to be, and is there going to be an angler version? That could be the Angler version... Significant other sits in the rear, rerigging, passing you rods, controlling the GoPros, paddling to maintain station over that big arch on the bottom, filleting ...

Re: Free online trailer plans
Part of the challenge with a kayak trailer is finding light enough springs. Most shocks are at least 650kg A kayak trailer, kayak and gear are nowhere near that and you end up with a trailer that is over sprung and rides rough. I bought a trailer with a 1000kg set of springs hocks that were getting...

Yeah, LPG bottle is removed and the void in the sleeping area filled with sistema boxes when sleeping.
It's amazing what condensation happens around a gas bottle.

Re: Kayak / Camping trailer
Good point paddlesnap. I hadn't given much thought to that to be honest as it has been used for hours on end with no concerning heat (feel by hand on firewall). It's nothing to do with a WOF unless it's simply insecure so not my forte There's about 200mm clearance and the heat dissipates well, it is...

Kayak / Camping trailer
I've had a bit of time off work with a new baby boy in the Family. In between changing nappies and washing piss off my face :puke: I've been doing up my trailer. The trailer is a full well side/canopy from a single cab Hilux that I picked up off Trademe a couple of years ago for $200. image.jpeg Fro...

Re: anchor advice
Chain is effective though I have no chain at all.
I put out lots more warp, approx 4 times the depth I'm in.
No issues with slippage at all.

Re: Dropping 12v to 8v
What about a 9v energiser type battery?
If you're running LED lights, it may cost you a few bucks per outing but I'd imagine it should be enough power for 4-5 hours still?

Stealth would be the first to spring to mind but some of the Barracuda SIK's could be worth checking out too.

Re: Kayak food
I have brunch bars. Cholocolate coated for a bit more sugar :) Also a diluted Powerade in each footwell. I find the, a bit sweet usually. On occasion, a big day on the water I bring a big salami stick and chew away on that too. Salami has proven a good firm and successful bait in desperation too :y:

Re: Cheap Toy Tuesday
Nice!
I love the 2000 sized reels.
I landed an 18kg Kingi on a KLabs softbait rod and a reel that I got free with a magazine subscription about 5 years ago.
Literally smoked the drag washers to dust but it was fun.
