After years of surf-casting with limited success and being envious of the kayak fishers passing me by (and all their bigger fish coming back) I have decided to take the plunge and get myself off the beach.
So after much research and thanks to the teams at Canoe & Kayak and Fishing Direct (thanks to them both for all the advice!) my wallet is considerably lighter and I am keen as to hit the sea this summer and hopefully meet some of you guys along the way.
I plan to join the NSKFC in the next couple of weeks. I live on the shore but my wife's family all live in/around Hahei so we head down there every month or 2. I am going down to Hahei next weekend (28/29-Nov) and taking my new toys along if anyone is around that area and keen to tow a newbie along for a fish?
Thanks to a lot of you for the great advice on this forum - a lot of the stories certainly helped me to take the plunge! Looking forward to getting some more tips on the water.
Tom
