I can't make the fishing now due to moving house.

dedant

Cheers Tony, we have only just sold our house and are moving soon so the next month is going to be a bit hectic.

I had issues with the Exceed Tournament braid. 12 lb was thinner than anything else I found, but it broke very easily and had weak knot strength ,and didn't cast off the spinning reel well at all. May have been better on a baitcaster but I took it off after the first session and replaced it.

dedant

Standards vary with stated breaking strains. Better to use line thickness as a guide to what you end up with. You may find a thinner braid with a higher " breaking point" or even a thicker braid with less. You might have a damaged guide on the rod you are using that is causing failure of your line o...

UH radios are not Marine VHF . Different frequencies and criteria.
Some VHF channels have repeater stations, weather channels , established ship to shore channels etc.
UHF have line of sight and no (?) regs ?

dedant

NOT just larger boats or fixed units but ALL operators of Marine VHF radios must be licensed. Unless in a strictly emergency situation. The license is easy as to get you can apply and sit the test for it online. The VHF is first, cellphone is backup usually. Even 5-6 W units have a surprisingly limi...

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I visited The Watershed and looked over the stock models there. The scupper holes are reinforced specially for their own carts, however they are an additional purchase so I will more than likely stick to my new Wheel eez cart anyway. The new camo coloured Outback has T...

I was working in Hanene St the last two weeks. A couple of times the water looked very nice. I thought of you.
Good to see you getting out again, look forward to catching up with you over there again.

Do the supplied scupper hole wheels cause fatigue in the hull over time or are they ok?
How difficult are the Tagit type cooler bags in the rear well to access for fish storage?
We are wanting a second Kayak for my wife to use, and a peddle drive for me while my arm recovers after the surgery.

Welcome aboard. Definitely try before you buy to see what feels right for you.
I have to confess to enjoying a certain product of Tennessee myself in the past , Lynchburg' s finest

We had a club trip to the entrance of Whangaruru harbour. The fishing was slow but a few caught, mainly in close. The conditions were interesting at
times

dedant

Mine is all of the above but it is also kind of bipolar, sometimes it is a turtle!

dedant

Thanks. We are going to be in Wellard , not close to where you put in. We may do the Rockingham boat trip.
Probably no time this trip for fishing.

dedant

I will be in Perth in a couple of months. Looking forward to some sunshine

I looked at the 35 a while back as second boat. The lure bin rod storage at front is to avoid having rods in the vertical holders catching on overhanging branches when creeping through Aussie mangrove estuaries. Suggests it was not designed for offshore work . I think the 400 would be more suited fo...

Wooo.. you said "Ute Box" !

Might be your pedfle length needs adjusting. I had to add a couple of layers of yoga mat to the back of my seat to get my legs bent at the right angle for comfort. You can pad out the rudder pedals to get the same effect.

dedant

Geez thanks man. I was hoping for a quiet lonely morning off there on Saturday.
So yeah, shhhh
