That wouldn't work. A wetsuit works by trapping a thin layer of water next to your body. Your body then warms that water and that keeps you warm. A loose wetsuit will either trap a large volume of water that will take a lot of energy to warm up or if its loose around the arms / legs, the warm water...

Glad you're OK. Shit happens and you have learnt from it. Personally, I think anchoring a kayak is an added element of risk. Kayakers in the UK do it in strong currents quite successfully, but it's a bit specialist and not something I would want to get in to. Luckily, we have numerous great eating f...

What happened to the Viking Reload in carbon?

AndrewRawlingson

It's not illegal to kill yourself. As for the rest, where do you draw the line and who decides?

AndrewRawlingson

Whatever the situation, you're still allowed to be an idiot aren't you? Legal caveat being that you are not breaking the law, and moral caveat being that you are not endangering anyone else directly.

First refusal to HookiT, then goes to Keenfisher. Let me know HookiT. Cheers.

Hi HookIt. Never got around to using the crawfish, but they look damn good, the pincers floats, so if you have a jig head or weight at the tail, they stand upright in the water, just like a crustacean in defensive posture. Yes, I'm full metal jig now :D Had a moment of clarity, realised that I've be...

I'm happy with the Kaveman 1/0 hooks on my microjigs, but have a look at livebait hooks. These come in suitable sizes, but I would want to fish them with light gear. https://www.marine-deals.co.nz/live-bait-hooks/owner-fine-wire-mosquito-live-bait-hooks Alternatively, consider inline single lure hoo...

10/10 for honesty!

AndrewRawlingson

But each to their own - I know you prefer deep water fishing. I do, very much so. No snags and lots of fish! Plus I love the buzz of seeing the fish come up to the jig on the sounder! What I try and do is decide how much "meat" I need at the beginning of each trip. Usually, it's one big snapper, al...

AndrewRawlingson

I like 45 - 50 cm fish. Nice size fillets. If you catch snapper from >20 metres it is likely that they won't survive due to barotrauma. This is based on some good studies from Australia. If I catch a big snapper >40 metres, it is usually toast by the time it hits the surface. Unfortunately, big snap...
