Your gear doesn't make you a better fisherperson. It's kind of sad to see some of the "gear elitism" expressed in the various kayak fishing communities agree with that, who cares about a brand of fishing kayak, always thought it was about getting out there & putting food on the table in any kayak I...

If I get the bug I will probably go to a Viking GT or 400. Ha !! You will get the bug.... cheaper on your pocket if you bail out now... If you are still curious Have a look at reef kayaks, plenty bang for your buck, the same with wavepassion Also Ocean prowlers, they are a proven weapon kayak Which...

https://www.catchfishing.pro/product/waterproof-tackle-boxes/ I have a couple of these buggars, the smaller one fits in the tacklepod & under 20 bucks each, can be used without the dividers, so is basically a container, easily fits your spool of trace, sissors, secret sauce etc, trolling lures ...ve...

Yep, saw you guys on the beach
Nice haul you got there Mr Mayor of NN. If I knew that was you, would have come over for a chat instead of buggaring off like I did
Softies & sliders do it for you guys ?

Got to NN hr before sunrise, already other kayakers setting up Put fresh coffee on the ground, stood on it without having a sip....hmmmm Wind against tide for today's effort, low tide 930am pretty much flat conditions in the NW slight breeze on the outgoing Tried out a new spot for first time in 3m,...

Zoom in & out, a few ks north of your inquiry https://tinyurl.com/y5cgnnu3 You will see motorhomes parked here on this orchard property. Directly across the road theres a bunch of houses, on the outgoing last 2-3hrs before low, just beyond what a surfcasters distance would be flicking out baits, thi...

Im as long as you are, have a viking reload with the hurricane back rest, uses the hull as the seat, very comfy & tons of leg room even when you stretch out

although I got chillblains on my toes after my previous outing. Maybe need some warmer booties, or wear some wooly socks underneath for some more insulation. I can vouch for the sharkskin socks = bloody warm. Plus I always put my booties & socks on after I have left the beach...hate bloody wet feet...

Anchors have their place for those that like em You may have to be a bit more on to it in different conditions on the day at your location Personally, I would not use it in a strong current. Where at anchor, the currents rips past you, pretty bloody freaky, especially when pulling the anchor up. Thi...

Most times the wind change will happen at c...

I added more slack chain between the shackle & cable tie, seems heaps easier to snap off the tie Having said that, over the years, have never broken off the cable tie when anchored for fishing https://i.ibb.co/3YGnxcH/anchor.jpg When you mentioned your clothing. A little while ago, I purchased breat...

Far out mate, not good reading there I use a small cable tie, one good heave & its always released from the bottom. Even easier if doing the heave with a swell assisting in the release I did the sit on top kayak course that canoe kayak outlets put on One part was learning to get back in a overturned...
