Shiny new wireless has arrived in the post. FYI Coastgaurd course for Maritime VHF Radio Cerificate is $90 for the online course or $125 for the 6 hour classroom option. Jaysus that's gone up in the last couple of years! I sat the course as part of the Boatmaster cert. around 1994 ish. Can’t rememb...

So the paddle I got with my yak is pretty rubbish, a local sports shop is having a closing down sale, as a result they have some Viking paddles going cheap. Is it a sin to paddle a OK with a Viking paddle?? Alternatively are there any recommendations for a half decent paddle under $100 No , and no :)

Will they fit euro style wing bars?

Now I have to find another client that wants to sell their Stealth, PDL or Jetski

Chase the Stealth, bro, you won’t regret it

I understand the situation with your kids. Most of my neighbours have work based in Auckland, but work from home. I seem to be the only mug that gets out of bed at 0630 every morning to go to work. Could you work from home in the future? 6:30? Luxury! I need to set the alarm for 5 to start at 7 . 2...

Cool. Enjoy. Drilling that first hole in your new pride and joy is the hardest one to drill.

Everything needed either in or on the hatch. Line clippers in pfd pocket. I also carry when softbaiting and micro jigs, small extra split ring pliers, braid scissors as back up and a knife on my pfd

dedant

I used the Catch brand pliers for a while, they lost the split ring part ( it just sort of got misshaped) Won in a spot prize some Edge brand, much nicer. Great when using kabura/slider or lucanus type things with the small assist hooks. Also releasing off jig heads whilst the fish is still in the w...

Could it have been the 5knot restriction

They are in Hexton, just down the road from where R&V is held. Some debate over “durability “ easy to repair glass, but gelcoat shows the scratches , can be repainted but. There are a couple of guys I know paddling the new 555 Fisha, absolutely rave about them. They are both 6ft though, I’m not. I’m...

dedant

Complete with rudder, four rod holders, I added a railblazer mount forward of the hatch on mine to plonk the rod into after landing fish. They have a different “ feel” but I’m too unco to ride a bicycle or skate board and are not a proficient paddler but I loved my Fisha 500, ex demo it was $2G , ne...

dedant

Considered a Stealth? Fishability , rod storage , weight on and off the car, ease of paddling, great surf ability ( depends on model) , and glass is just plain classy

Ryan has a blue and white banded Fisha460 that I really want to put my name on.

Do not overlook stealth kayaks. They are a paddlers kayak. The most comfortable seating position Ive ever sat in. Despite what sceptics think they are plenty stable enough. And if you're not convinced... Their looks alone should turn heads :wasntme: The stealth is the perfect balance between ease o...

If you can stretch your budget a little bit. There is a really good deal going on an ocean kayak trident 4.3 , complete with everything you could want. Rod an reel, pfd, vhf, c tug etc, $1500 , it’s on Facebook, kayak fishing page.

dedant

Great back up and support too from Charlie with the reef kayaks

dedant

I can only comment on the first one , NRS Chinook is what I have. $99 on special I paid for it , five years on its still good.

dedant

There was a Stealth Surfisha 470 available a while back. Don’t know where it ending up? Looked really good though. Could be a few old goat boats pop up on TradeMe?

dedant

Second hand Viking 400 fits your criteria and budget. Also the Reef Kayaks, have a good deal usually around $1000,

dedant

Get out on the water. Seriously, there are more ways to catch snapper than I can type. Follow Rob Forts Reel Screaming Kayaks on You Tube, and jump in with a kayak fishing club, plenty of on water advice to be had.
