Ahh yeah - I see it now. Can you stand up in it - or is that asking too much from an inflatable?

I can on flat water, but then I'm only 57odd kg and 175 or so cm so a lightweight really. They're fairly wide so have great primary stability. The only times I've flipped it unintentionally is hitting rocks in rapids and being turned side on thanks to the water flow. Hell, it got me back in to Kananook from 3km off Frankston when a 30knot unforecast westerly blew everyone off the water without once feeling like it would flip me out

Ahh - yeah I'd be a heavyweight then lol - just nudging 95kegs. They do sound pretty good to be honest. I think its going to be one of those or I have to seriously consider what I need to do to get a hard yak in terms of storage and transport. Plenty of time to think whilst I save at least ....

So how is this going? Not that well for me but still plenty of time. I have a question! When we set a goal, as in I have set a goal to catch my first yella on a lure, if I achieve this whilst targeting redfin...does it count? As in, does by-catch count? Just wondering what the FVPB association rules state! :)
cheers
