Re: Best small kayak for inshore?
Cheers Keith. My point exactly with the rocker and the pointy scooped bow. Only serves to shorten the yak. Had a squizz around Anaconda at Fountain Gate today. Nothing grabbed me, but then the range is limited with the shorties. Was one that caused me to pause. The Lifetime Hydros Angler. 8’5”. Tunn...

Re: anchor retrieval technique in fast moving WP waters
All very interesting the responses here, I’m slightly in awe of those that anchor in such deep fast flowing waters, much braver than me after a few nightmare scenarios I’ve encountered. I just don’t think it is safe in a yak. I’ve had good results going with the flow, looking at the sounder and havi...

Re: Best small kayak for inshore?
Suits your needs then can’t ask for much more. I know what good design looks like in a big yak, but unsure what the parameters are in a shorty. Looked at a SEAK yesterday and it had a pointy undercut scooped bow. Don’t like it. Would’ve thought a ballooned bow would be the ticket for maximum time sp...

Re: Foxes in your neighborhood
They pick locks here. I’ve shot dozens, but not any more. Part of the furniture now and with those kind of smarts, have earnt my respect.

Re: Is the Hobie Revolution 11 too short for PPB?
How’s about you go for something longer. Length is always best in most every situation I can think of.

Re: Best small kayak for inshore?
Ignore previous comment. Late night brain fart. SUP’s on WP probably rarely ideal. Still looking for short arsed barges that paddle like a square.

Re: Best small kayak for inshore?
Wondering now if a SUP wouldn’t best suit my purpose? Sadly, I’m the kind of minimalist that manages to complicate everything.

Re: Best small kayak for inshore?
Good points Ianeends. Was not aware of those issues. 2.7 m Snapper from Aquayak is currently looking good.

Re: Best small kayak for inshore?
Thanks for that Seasherpa. The Scout at 3 m is maybe too long. The Ranger at 3.7 is a no show. Should have mentioned I’m really looking for a super short arsed barge, but realise I’m probably going a tad too far in handle ability and safety, but then I don’t really know how far I can go in the short...
