Well done. Good sizes too. :tu: How did you find it? Not too crazy on kayak? Much fun? Hey Sebb,Initially it took me a good 30 mins to get in my comfort zone , but after that i was feeling pretty safe & organised. Something i noticed which seems to be a bit of an issue is with the mirage drive when...

Great advice there Tim, and liking the setup with the raised rod holders. I've recently added a little cable tie which helps stop the esky sliding backwards and also aim to stick some Hobie Sidekick ama's behind the seat when the next come into stock (Hobie Asia Pacific reckons by early 2024). Will...

A fairly cheap mod that I use very often is a PVC removable rod rack the fits in the moulded rod holders behind the seat. This has 6 holders, typically I’ll use it to store rods as well as my net and 360 light. Even if only taking a couple of rods it is handy having the net in a holder behind that i...

That is one of my favourite museums I’ve been to. The whaling and maritime disaster history in that museum is incredible, well worth a look.

This would be a decent first kayak if the sale is legit

Fished Altona from the kayak last night with 7 others, no decent models caught just small pinkies. I Picked up a salmon and snotty Trev. There are some big schools of baitfish around. Not long now!

I agree with both Mazman and Sebbs advice. Personally I prefer the Scotty rod holders, I have found them to be very rigid and easy to adjust. I have had a ram style holder slip downward when getting a run from a large snapper, nearly pulling the rod out of the holder once the holder angled downward....

Thanks bowl - they’re just up the road from my work

Hi all, does anyone know of anywhere that sells bulk pillies at a reasonable price? I’m from out west, and need to restock the freezer for snapper season. I’ve got plenty of squid heads, but find the fish just want pillies sometimes. I used to buy them from Vancouver Bait, they had the best bait. Ch...
