I’ll have to give this one a miss, I’ve got plans already. Post again when your next outing is and hopefully I’ll catch you on the water. Good luck tomorrow, with some surface disturbance from the wind, high tide and cloudy conditions around 8am it should be good time for squid

Anchor update ! so last minute Friday arvo i decided to get an anchor system sorted out so i could use it on Sat morning (today), was a bit unsure which way i was gonna go in terms of which method i was going to use, so i kind of made it up while i was out buying parts.. I ended up getting the Hobi...

Well done. I'm jealous.
I had to accompany my wife in the carboot sale. Would be out there on kayak otherwise.

I’ll post on this thread next time I am heading out there if anyone wants to join

Glassed overcast conditions while targeting squid, closed the bag then picked up a few whiting and a flathead before heading home around lunchtime.

Also worth trying to make sure the actual dive reel spool is not under tension, as they are made of plastic parts and are designed to wind up slack line rather than be under pressure. Cleat the line that comes out of the reel t...

Also worth mentioning (you may already know this), is to connect the end of the chain to the head of your anchor via a shackle, then clip the chain to the top of the stem with a small cable tie. The cable tie should be strong enough to not snap when at anchor in current or wind, but weak enough that...

Hi Tangles, this is a cut and paste of a previous post of mine regarding anchor trolleys, it might not suit everyone but has served me well. I use the full length Hobie anchor trolley, had it for 8 years and the ropes and fittings are still in good condition. Using an anchor trolley properly can mak...

Well i feel like we must be getting closer, i cant work out if were the only ones not catching big ones at the minute. 4 pinkies around 35-40 today if i had to guess. This time i sounded up around a contour line but didn't bother looking for marks, just watched where the reef dropped onto sand at a...
