So on Wednesday last week I was surfing Gumtree looking for a Yak and all of a sudden up comes a Wavedance Kingfisher for $900 so I had a closer look it seemed in relatively good shape so I decided to give the guy selling it a call and thank god I did. It was in Cowes at Phillip Island so I organised with Dad to go down yesterday, being Saturday to have a look and I found exactly what I wanted.
It is a 4.1m Wavedance Kingfisher in Red with all the mods I was thinking to do!
It has a Garmin 300C fish finder, a seat, a paddle which I am going to upgrade, a 2.5kg anchor, a sea anchor, 2 rod holders, 3 rod leashes and a paddle leash :a_goodjob: So after a quick run off the beach at cowes to make sure the sounder works and that it isnt going to sink I came back into shore and paid the $900 and am now the owner of what has long been a dream of mine!!!!
I cannot wait till next Sunday when I will be going to Sandy to test it out and practice remounting etc.
Then after I get the hang of it I will be out fishing and craking some PB's! :thumbsup:
Cam :sun:

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad

Re: Got a yak
It sounds like a good buy and I think you will have a lot of fun. Look forward to hearing about the PB's.

Re: Got a yak
Nice one. You should be able to practice remounts in webb dock area too. There are nice shallow areas close to the beach.
I guess that's the end of your LB fishing. Just make sure you don't pass by within our casting distance or it will rain 4oz sinkers. :haha2:
