Sounds like you want an ABT ( Australian Bream Tournement ) yak.
Does anyone know if SLH has any left after the Bemm final?

I assume you've already got some roof racks?

Flag/light

Don't forget some rope for your anchor and a large handline reel (or something else) to wrap it around.
1m of chain should be between the anchor and rope too, especially in higher current areas like WPB.
Also, a float to put on the rope if you wish (handy if you need to ditch the anchor/rope to chase a fish. Mark where you ditched it on your GPS, then come back to the float later and retrieve the anchor/rope)
If you know the deepest depth of the water you'll be anchoring in, take that depth and double it, then buy that much rope.
e.g. If the deepest water you'll anchor in is 20m, get 40m of rope.

The other gear I'd highly recommend are Kokatat T3 Tempest pants (dry pants with inbuilt socks http://www.kokatat.com/products/bibs-an ... s-men.html) and some water friendly footwear to protect the socks.
