I agree with the side loader, I use this when trailering my kayak isn’t an option. Flipping the kayak upside down before lifting an end onto the side loader helps. When trying to load the kayak upright I found the bottom of the hull creates a rocking point when one end is up on the side loader, maki...

I fish about 4 times a week for heaps of different species Only Sharks seen or caught are 7 Gill,Gummy,Draught or Port Jackson. A load of rubbish from medias about Man Eating Sharks to frighten people and sell more papers or data The only Sharks I would be worried about are Car sharks or Some other...

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....

Fished Altona from the kayak last night with 7 others, no decent models caught just small pinkies. I Picked up a salmon and snotty Trev. There are some big schools of baitfish around. Not long now!

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
