I'm overdue to go to blue rock lake on yak. Maybe summer for baas on surface.

You blokes should rebuild a boat. It ensures any money you would otherwise be saving is spent and you don’t really think about the lockdown when you’re itchy.

Ive really enjoyed your renovations posts, but its also made me realise I'll be staying with aluminium

Well this lock down just like the last hasn't really effected me apart from version 1 having the fishing ban and putting on 2 many KGs sitting around and not aloud out for my normal exercise


this time I still have my normal 5 days a week work and I will be fishing or paddling as much as I can Weather dependent of cause

However for those days when the weather is less than good enough I'll be back working on my solo skiff to get it out of the way I need the room to build another kayak
also looking at carving a greenland style paddle and have some new lures to finish some large chrome slices that I wonted to try on Spaniards next time to South west rocks if we can get pasted the border in Jan

I was going to let you know about the blue rock vid but you're onto it rb.

I'm doing mods to the yak. sorted the tackle storage situation in the round hatch so my stuff doesn't get wet as it's not sealed.

Once the weather fines up, I'll finish off the casting deck on the tinny and install the leccy and other bits and pieces on it.

Also I've changed a few dodgy trebles and cleaned up a few lures and been servicing my reels.

Cheers, Anth

What mods are you doing on the yak?

Not real significant changes, just changing small things here and there like upgrading fixings, making tackle storage solutions and organizing things to make it more fisher friendly and comfortable.

I have a milk crate behind me which holds bits and pieces but i know if i go over, it will all disappear. Aaron has an esky that he showed me which im thinking might work to replace the crate.

I made a hinge out of materiel for the front hatch so i don't lose it.

I got a plano tackle box that is for a bucket and trimmed up the edges and cut a piece out so the latch can still lock and also glued rubber pieces underneath it so it doesn't slide around. this will also hold my phone and keys and keep them dry.

I put heat shrink on the paddles for grip with wet hands and one in the middle for when i have a fish on and I'm using it with one hand.

My dog.. Making sure everything is done properly..

Cheers, Anth
