Hey guys, need a bit of a hand with something. I'm doing NCEA lvl 3 Earth and Space Science, and we have an assignment to do already :( . It's an investigation on a socio-scientific issue, and I chose to do mine on the impact of sonar on marine wildlife, specifically their movement/migration. First ...

After having an Explorer, I would recommend a Navigator. It's basically the same thing as the Explorer, but longer. That extra length really helps with tracking, as I found the Explorer a bit zig-zaggy, even in good conditions. One thing you might be able to do is trial the kayaks. Take it out for a...

Just on the weight carrying limit, there are things that can make it easier to transport kayaks, like the C-Tug wheels. Just about any kayak can be modded, either by yourself or by your local kayak retailer, to be a decent fishing kayak. I myself have a Cobra Explorer that I added a couple of rod ho...

What sort of budget are you looking at? It will help people recommend you yaks. A pretty standard weight for a fishing yak (eg Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 or a Viking Profish 400) is ~24kgs.

Yeah not too sure about the, uh, "deal" part about this but sure.

Wee update if anyone's interested, saw PowerPro High-Vis Yellow was on sale on Marine Deals, so I thought bugger it, and bought 300yrds of 10lb. They're having a sale on fishing gear if anyone's interested.

Avoid cheap as, odd ball , bargin no-name stuff Yeah, I tried to start softbaiting a couple years ago, had no idea what I was doing, had a Shimano Alivio 6000FA, bought cheapo 30lb colour changing braid, and immediately went back to stinky stuff. That stuff was horrible to work with, and it was kno...

Hey guys, long time no see :hai: Anyway, I've decided to join the softbait revolution, and will be heading out with no stinky stuff in an effort to catch fish with softies. However, before that happens I need a softie setup. I"ve got an alright reel for it (Daiwa Regal Plus 3500BRi, maybe a lit...

Happy birthday man

Nice footage man, couple of good sharks

Talk about a bump
I find pretty much anything will work in the mussel farms, but my fav is squid purely for its ability to stay on the hook better than a lot of stink bait

One thing I noticed, the shopping bag is a bit in the way of the menu

Mean footage bro, they really look like they 'swim' underwater eh, incredible stuff

Dayum...
Looks real good bro

As long as it's illegal, and theres money to be made off it, there is gonna be a black market.

Congrats on the PB Onwards and upwards (or is that longways)

Thanks man, I'm sure that PB won't last too much longer
Thats tonights dinner right there, managed to stab myself on the pelvic fin spines scaling one of them

So for the first time in a while I managed to get out :whew: Lauched a couple of hours before high tide, must have been about 1:30pm or so. Cruised out for about 500m just to get into around 4m of water, awesome day, pretty much dead flat seas. First fish was a kahawai of around 30cm or so and I rea...

I see potential as an emergency tent too

Mean vid mate

Happy birthday
