18.5lb caught on 10lb softbait gear. 7” bruised banana. Dragged me into the foul but I was able to use the swell to lift him out, line came up with clumps of weed on it. Tried to release but he was spent.

Iris shoal should be fishing ok by nw, otherwise follow the tide out along north channel and fish around Maori rock and Fairchild reef. Don’t try to fight the current, use it as a travelator.

I’ll just leave this here:

I'll be based at Tauranga Bay from tomorrow until next Sunday in case anyone wants to team up for a paddle? I am happy to drive up to an hour in any direction to get amongst some good fish.

Drop me a PM if you like.

Cheers

Nice one - I love Matauri bay too. That channel gets a lot of tidal flow and the wind really funnels thru - can get pretty nasty at times.

Telecaster

The disturbing part is you had that picture already right??

I had the gul code zero salopettes from NZ sailing and although fairly comfortable and warm with the high front and back, the waterproofing was average. I think the seated knees up position in the kayak seat stretches the fabric and compromises the waterproofing. Got worse and worse and I finally go...

Not a bad result in the end Dirk?

Awesome fish well done.

Have you got a sounder? I haven't fished Rotorua but have done a bit of trout fishing from the kayak. I usually look for smelt (usually show up as a faint row of dots in mid water) then try to lower my flies to around that depth and just jiggle them slightly every 30 seconds or so. I use a woolly bu...

Yellow if possible but I'm not fussy, it is a battle-scarred old beast.

Hi, I have a small crack on my prowler 4.5 elite and I am after a bit of plastic to melt in there. Does anyone know what type of plastic it is, and where to get it?

Thanks
Patrick

You've inspired me to drop 5kg before Matauri trip.

Telecaster

Yes please Dirk - I'll PM you my mobile number to sort out a time. I am in Mt Welly from 6.30am mon-fri.

Telecaster

Yes that is a good deal and a good kayak. I had one for 4 years and recently sold it for $1000!

Telecaster

Sounds good let me know when you are up this way next

Telecaster

Are you aware of the visa requirements to fish up here?

Telecaster

Good on you for helping out mate! Karma will sort you out soon I am sure

Hi Does anyone know where to get the hatch seal material for the prowler 4.5 elite front hatch? Mine is pretty old and compressed, and the kayak tends to fill up with rain water. My old prowler 13 had the neoprene cover that stretched over the hatch, which was a pain in the ass to put on but did a v...

I like the idea of being able to pedal slowly to hold yourself on sign, and dropping jigs etc. Also being able to safely fish in close to cliff faces while casting softies.

And my elbow is munted from too much table tennis...
