Re: 2023 Snapper Season

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...

Re: My first catch on the kayak

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...

Re: Kayak Upgrades - Hobie Compass

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...

Re: Kayak Upgrades - Hobie Compass

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...

Re: South Australia Maritime Museum

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.

Re: Anything bitting around Williamstown and Queenscliff???

Fished Williamstown from 5am yesterday morning in 7m, just lots of small pinkies around. Didn’t hear or see any of the boats turn a reel either. I feel like it still might be a couple more weeks before the snapper come in. Keep an eye out for reports, won’t be long now.

Re: Can you get paddle kayaks for reasonably cheap

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

Re: Not your ordinary Kayak questions - advice needed please

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....
