My second hand kayak came with the 7hdi, a very good unit. I wanted the platinum plus but found was incompatible with the 7hdi, so I bought navionics plus. This is the updated gold version... the gold was discontinued nearly 3yrs ago. For sussing out new ground, the sonar works well for contours & d...

nice one mate, as usual
what were the conditions like out there..... sliders or softies ?

SitDown

nice mixed catch there mate used to get big shrimp up at pukenui wharf by houhora, they would sit on the concrete side on walls next to the piles in the sun... from just under the surface to a foot depth in the water, scoup em up with a fine mesh landing net, fry em up whole in a hot cast iron pan, ...

that's a nice fatty right there

SitDown

So if I understand, all of what we see on the FFinder is past history, so we've got to turn around and go back to the fish, unless we are moving up current when the bait/lure will drift back to the fish its easy to stop your kayak when you see sign while going over it, usually the school you see wi...

Fantastic TR there mate, noice kingi too

I would like to import / export waypoints then edit them on my laptop
It would be better if there was some type of mapping to use with my waypoints on my laptop
I do have navionics plus on my ff, but a 15 inch screen is tons better then my 7 inch ff
What do you guys use

looking at respooling my sustain 2500

cheap as with pretty good reviews for this brand

SitDown

yeah, its the softbaits I haven't truly sussed out yet, altho I got proper dedicated gear for it... who would of thought a 2.5m rod for softbaiting would be ok on a kayak & yet I was assured this was the way to go, only time will tell probably easier to watch someone at it doing softbaiting, then ta...

good fishing there mate
might have to try my luck from kohi, not sure where to go

the second to last photo, I see you use a "chill pack" of some sort. is it a frozen pack & does it last an entire fishing session ?

SitDown

nice going guys, pretty consistent

SitDown

After avoiding fish for quite some time, also learning softies and sliders.... i`m a bait fisho from a long way back They all say, if you want to learn to do softbaiting & any type of lure fishing.... leave the bait at home & go out a do it Far out man, a very unusual feeling doing that. Anyway that...

Don't worry about a floating unit (it'll be tethered to your PFD)

where would you get a tether if you didnt get one with your vhf ?

Noice fatty you got there Doc
I went out on Sat, around no7, drifted down to almost straight off NN, nothing, paddled back stopped on some sign twice, got a snap both times, 33 & 43, couple of throw backs, that was me, using orange sliders

SitDown

went to cornwallis on the manukau this morning, paddled out to no5 buoy, anchored in 10m water about 30m off the buoy away from the main channel. Pille cubes on dropper rigs, kept 3 kahawai, let go a gummy shark then headed back in, a little under 2hrs on the water, nice to finally catch something a...

SitDown

Yeah I'm loving it! Clipping along at 8kph+ rather than 2-3kph if I was lucky!

I got 4.6kt (8.5kph) in the weekend for about 8 paddle strokes just around slack water, good for the ego, don't think I want to do that again...

SitDown

thanks man, will score me a pair soon

try baking soda in the boots, beats the stuff you're using

SitDown

These look the biz, Ive had enough of wet cold foots and toes

DocProfit, whats your assessment of the boots after a years use ?
Looking for a drier option
Are you able to beach launch with these boots on

SitDown

went out yesterday off NN around 9am, had less than 100m visibility in the fog which burnt off in the next 30mins, went into the channel, the tide just started to come in, basically just sat in one spot breeze against slow tide flow, didnt see any other paddlers. Went between no7 and yellow bouy, no...
