Re: First Yakbag Created
Very interested and $200-300 sounds reasonable. I store my yak outside so good UV material wouldbe important to me. Might be worth putting a few drain holes (where the scupper holes are and the Mirage drive) too. I mention that because when stored outside I run a bike lock chain through it for secur...

Re: Joke thread
A husband and wife are shopping in their local Coles. The husband picks up a case of Tooheys New and puts it in their trolley. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. 'They're on sale, only $40 for 24 cans' he replies. 'Put them back, we can't afford them' demands the wife, and so they carr...

Re: Transducer with silicone ??
Hi All This may not be quite in line with the topic - but how do you remove silicone froma transducer once it's been set? I directly siliconed the transducer to the hull per the suggested methods (big blob, no air bubbles etc.). It was a cheap unit and all worked like a dream. After a year in place ...

Re: SOT Kayak Safety Course
Hi there. Did this course at Sandy last year and can highly recommend it. Helped me make the decision to go peddle rather than paddle and also how to balance. Best part of the course was the self rescues which were drilled in over several roll overs. Doing it when practicing was tough and would be n...

Re: OH BOY !!! Lessons to be learnt from this video
Great video. I've only been consistently yak fishing this season as I started late last season so limited my exposures to lakes/estuaries and I also didn't think I was fit enough at the time. A couple of weeks ago I tipped out at Rickets in +15knots winds with swell & cop. It sure teaches you to...

Looking into a Drouge
Hi All Was wondering if anyone has any tips/suggestions on a Sea Anchor. This would include any mods needed to make it better for yaks. Haven't used one before and seen plenty around on the market but don't want to find out after the fact I bought the wrong thing. I can make one myself but given the...
