Will try out your land marks, thanks for that. The spot x book put me on to some marks, then I found my own spots, some I can touch the bottom with my paddle Meola is an unusual place to fish, as the tide rises over the oyster rocks, the tide flow can change & go the wrong way for an hour then chang...

try this extra step next time iki your snapper like you do, then between the gill flaps, sever the main artery that sits along the backbone to bleed it, rinse it over the side to clean it..... a 30sec job the flesh becomes more whiter, the fish tastes tons better & keeps longer than what you maybe u...

no distinguishing features on the sounder, they just look like sand Buggar, thats what I thought it might be Met a local yesterday in the inner waitemata harbour, we traded some fishing spots at the beach He mentioned in a general area "over there" a worm bed, go there, easy as fishing Sweet, with ...

do worm beds show up on a ff, if so, what do you look for

Forget bait fishing. This may be a little contentious, but it isn't required. It's messy and attracts sharks. Anchoring and berley deployment are a little more complicated on a yak. Concentrate on soft baits and perhaps, slow jigs if you plan to fish in deeper water Come on mate, sometimes you need...

probably over the top, who knows, I was drawn to these 2 just after scoring my yak https://www.canoeandkayak.co.nz/shop/courses/sit-on-top-skills-course-auckland/ especially good to learn how to get back on your yak if you fall out of it, not as easy as you may think https://www.boatingeducation.org...

Into them again eh mate, nice report as usual

I did taka cliffs on a windy Friday after work for the incoming, nothing worth keeping, had a few really good line pullers that all fell off.
There were 2 charter boats between the yellow buoy & no7 & 2 others around the place, good to be out there

I bought these dry storage things for the car keys & phone. Am more worried about my car keys, with the immobilizer chip.... it would cost heaps for a call out plus a new chip for the key if they got water inside it. Then there's the value of the clever phone (cheapie) The storage thingies cost arou...

find a safe place, jump out of your yak & try & get back in it, there is a technique to do it, believe me, its not easy till you know how

seems to be tons of options to customize the unit to your liking when having a quick looksie today I couldn't find in the settings where the reverse transducer option was... any suggestions on display at the shop was the 7, 8, 10 & 12.... the 7inch version is quite a big unit compared to my lowrance...

Thanks man for all the helpful info, especially liked the reverse mount transducer option, would never had thought of being caught out on that.... the helix 7 mega si g3 is beyond my budget but worth saving for What model do you have, so I can find out if the reverse transducer option is available o...
