I have an almost new 7x Hook2 on my Stealth. The splitshot transducer is glued in the hull. I have found it to be bigger than I need and I wish to change to the hatch lid with the built in FF pod.. so if anyone is wanting a 7" unit but wants to pay only the 5" price I will swap head units. I have th...

I have only used an anchor off a yak a couple of times , however I have 4m or more of chain. 750g grapnel was more than enough .
Nothing like in a strong current though.

The Stealth. Fishing Ski.
Puts the fun back into paddling for me.( Exept when it tosses me sideways into the drink!)

dedant

How do like the ski?

dedant

Nice fishing platform for sure.

I can endorse the Stealth kayaks. Love mine. I have the fat heavy Fisha 500,(well compared to the other models it is!)
Ryan is at Gulf Harbour and has models available to try . Be careful, they are addictive. You won't believe how light and easy handling the 460 model is.

I could be offering up my Wheeleez Mini Kayak Kart , I want the bigger full size tires to help keep my under slung non retracting rudder off the pavement. They are a good bit of gear .

Jump on the fishnhunt.com forum message boards, Aunty is the man for all the info on the Islands.

Welcome back.
North Shore Club meeting this week, Up north trip to Oakura the second weekend of June would be a good outing .

dedant

Yep. Out from Martin's Bay yesterday morning with the North Shore Kayak Fishing Club , did well. Nothing huge but the fish we're there in patches. I was lucky enough to blunder on a good area, some others not so much.

dedant

I have an order of Dr Evil lures arriving soon. They will be $20 ea plus postage or $35 for two if collected.

dedant

Yes , single hooks on the Manic Prey. When I hear a strike I paddle a few hard strokes whilst turning in the direction the rod is on , hopefully sets the hook(s) and gets the line angled out away and not directly behind when I get the rod out of the holder

dedant

The yellow pvc ones the Warehouse sold for around $25 would do you fine. Add a float, they will sink, you don't want it to end up underneath you, other retailers will stock them , MarineDeals do. 18" or 24" size.

dedant

Nice day. I only kept two around 35 cm. Could have had a limit bag of 30 cm fish and a load of sub legal snaps! I know of one decent kingi landed amongst all the rats around the saddle island reefs.

dedant

Striker plus has quickdraw contour mapping. Makes your own chart . All too techo for my low brow knuckle dragging intellect.

dedant

There could be quite a few turn up.Listen on ch 08 on the VHF. If I'm there I'll be on the Stealth with the little orange blaze.

dedant

Your $500 would get you a Garmin Striker 5 , basic GPS ( not charts) chirp and down vision. I had one on my previous kayak and think the picture and the overall quality is superior to the Hook2 unit I have now. You'll still need a battery and charger plus a few miscellaneous bits a pieces for mounti...

What time does the gate open?

dedant

Certainly more trust in those than the no name cheaper versions. There is support and warranty back up with Charlie and co. Black is not a colour I would like in the blazing hot sun however.

dedant

I can endorse the Savage Gear Manic Prey Diver as a snapper catcher. Bought recently and tried it on last weekend's club trip. Yes. Worked well . Attracted some big strikes in water to 8m deep. Dropped two good fish one after the other when the hooks pulled ( trevs maybe ? ) multiple snapper . Easy ...
