An effective and simple technique to learn/practice is the 'bongo slide' https://www.kayakpaddling.net/ A "Low Brace" is what you are after (technical name for your 'Bongo Slide' I suspect?), will save you a turtle 99.9% of the time if done correctly. Check out 'SeaKayakingTV' channel on YouTube fo...

Awesome report there Blair, and great photos'. I would imagine with an attitude like yours the results will most certainly come and you will be into the prizes in no time

How you go Wayne? We started slow then it went off with good sized snaps. I have seen some photos that would indicate he did pretty good Jonno :rock: Sounds like you had a good day out :y: . No fishing for me again these days off looking at the forecast, looking good for my first day back next bloc...

Lightning raid off BBK for a feed of snaps was the plan for Sunday morning, as aka A-Team, 'I love it when a plan comes together'. Back on shore at 830 with a bin of snapper. Snapper and Kahawai fighting over every bait. Nice catch there MikG. How deep are you fishing off BBK? My old man was out of...

Anyone lost a flag? Found one on the road outside NP Boys High on Sunday.

Nice TR mate. Could have been worse Jonno, like the guy behind you who left most of his kit in the surf!

I agree with Itsallablur. As we all know kayak fishing is very popular in Taranaki now and growing, especially around the Port/Islands. Mass education is the key and I guess it's about finding the best way to get it out there. I think the way to go would be do everything we possibly can, the ideas m...

Good post Mike, something everyone can learn from. Years ago I took my brand new kayak for a test paddle off the port and noticed on way back in it felt a bit 'tippy'. Got to boat ramp and could hardly drag it up the ramp. Ended up being a pin hole in a scupper. If I had gone fishing that day could ...

Just so anyone considering a PLB is aware, they are the last of the rescue options. After you hit the button you're realistically looking at a couple of hours before the cavalry come over the hill... which is a long, long time to hang onto a kayak while in the water. Just to clarify we are talking ...

Good subject to discuss. For me being that I paddle on my own 99% of the time its safety drills on a regular basis, usual safety precautions (2 x comms, flares, TR etc) and worst case I have a PLB on my person. Flick the aerial up, press a button and the jobs done. Fantastic peace of mind

I had the pleasure of paddling the new Barracuda 'Interface' a few days ago (I paddled the medium volume boat) care of Canoe and Kayak (thanks Pete!). The only thing I can really compare it to is my Southern Skua being that I have done almost all of my paddling in the Skua. Obviously a very differen...

Yeah mainly rats with the odd bigger model. There were just so many of them, really good to see

I did feel like jumping in actually! They were getting so close I reckon I could have just about netted one! Was off the cliffs Flowrider.
