Seriously, gravad lax [emoji1474]

Great looking yaks. If I was looking for another kayak, the PDL would be my first choice. I would want a trailer for it though

All trout. I grew up eating them and loved it. After 5 years in Northland and a diet of snapper, john dory, bluenose, gurnard, scallops, crayfish etc, fresh cooked trout turns my stomach. I nearly puked last time I tired it

AndrewRawlingson

Gravad lax for trout. I won't post a recipe as I just Google it, but it makes the damn things edible

I wonder how much kayak fishing-related back pain comes from dead lifting 30kg on to the roof of an SUV? Just a thought.

AndrewRawlingson

Mine still good too!

AndrewRawlingson

Indeed, or foreign retailers decide we're just not worth the hassle

Good news and well done Shimano

Back on the Christmas list!

I think this is a NZ thing - FU/poor customer service. I am genuinely surprised when this isn't the case. People make a song and dance about buying offshore and NZ warranties, but I don't think it matters, it's generally FU all the way. I hope other brands selling here are better. Any recommendations?

I am going to sell my Tagit sea anchor if anyone is interested. It's sold as a jetski anchor, but if you want something bigger then this would suit a kayak. I'm upgrading to a larger one as this one is too small for the ski. There is a pattern emerging here! https://www.fishingdirectnz.co.nz/shop/Sh...

Most fishfinder-GPS units are pretty good these days. What will set one above another is it's durability on a kayak. My Humminbird 597 has come with me from kayak to ski and still going strong. I think the integrated mounts/connectors on the 500/600/700 series is the best produced, but sadly, those ...

I like your post

Nice snaps. Blind eel? That was a new one for me. Had to Google it. They sound horrendous!

AndrewRawlingson

Trust me when I say there is no amount of money you could spend on a kayak that still wouldn’t make it seem cheap compared to anything with a motor [emoji22]

AndrewRawlingson

Good deal, and I agree, nice little yak

Looks almost exactly like a Prowler 4.3 which is a good yak. Whether the quality is there, I don't know.

AndrewRawlingson

I would add the OK Scrambler to the shortlist. It was my first yak and I did an awful lot with it. When I upgraded to an OK Prowler Ultra 4.3, I never noticed any difference in paddling performance despite it's extra weight and length, although the rudder was a luxury!

AndrewRawlingson

nice mixed bag

AndrewRawlingson

Well done

Having seen the number of boats on the road over the last 24 hours, I'm not too unhappy to be at work, despite the good weather.
