Hi Guys,
new to forum. Sold the boat and taking the step into the Kayak scene. Living in Patto on the water, watch people everyday fishing from Yaks so thought I'd join in.
Cheers

Been on the water since I was a young bloke and have owned many boats over the years. But the kayaking option looks like it opens so many more opportunities to fish and spend time on the water. Also we plan on travelling around with them, I'll make sure I read up on the safety options. I'll practise falling and getting back onto before I take on anything. Tonights veiw cant wait
regards
Adrian

Nice view. As you know that launch from Patterson lakes is very busy. If you are simply going to kayak out from your house you will have issues with boat traffic. I did Altona ramp a few times (off peak) and still had some interesting idiots speeding past you or getting too close.

Thanks Guys,
no doubt lots of new experiences coming my way. Some good and some not so, however looking forward to all of it. Going to pick up new Kayaks today and having first test run this sarvo. Stay tuned for pics, hopefully with me not in the water.
Cheers
