From memory.... 5hp or more the boat needs rego. It's legal to operate a boat at a speed less than 10 knots without a licence even if it's capable of more. I think learning the rules and getting a licence is the smart thing to do especially if the boat is capable of 10knots.

Hi Jim, I started kayak fishing around 6 months ago and have been loving it. I bought a Kayaks2fish Nextgen 10, which is paddle only. It weighs about 25kg and is fairly easy to load on the roof of my car, has good stability and seems to work well in the Hawkesbury and Middle Harbour. There are the usual rod holders, a comfortable seat and rudder straight from the store. If you are looking for an entry level yak that will let you know if you want to stick with the sport I would recommend the Nextgen 10 as its only $700. I wouldn't take it offshore, but it is great in quieter waters. Hope this helps.

Great fish on light tackle, especially from shore. Even better that the guy came back with the net and didn't steal your car! Well done mate.
-
Great fish, Nice yak as well. Thanks for sharing

Hi, Your video was great. I really enjoyed it and felt like I was playing it in. Well done mate. -
I know where you are coming from, I'm lucky that he stops the computer stuff without argument if we point out he's been on it to long. We are also pretty lucky that 90% of his computer time is taken up learning new songs to play busking or up at the old people's home. He really gets a buzz getting the oldies singing dancing and clapping to old Elvis and Johny Cash songs. He enjoys catching the odd fish but he's buzzing all night if he get the oldies on their feet.

Happy 15th! Great day out for a birthday and I wish I could coax my 15 year old away from his PC for a day like that!
-
That's a memorable fish on light gear, great camou and well done on the eventual release!
-
Congrats on cracking the metre with a beautiful fish. Worth the long paddle:)

I can see them working on jews. But i am no expert! how far could you cast that from the shore for pelagics? i use 30g jig heads on soft plastics for chasing pelagics. 17g wouldnt go far. Especially on a day with a bit of breeze

What’s people thoughts on these zerek flat shad pro lures in salt water ? I was thinking of getting a few for off the rocks chasing bonito kingies and hunting jewies with them aswell? What have people caught off them before tryed doing reaserach and can only find people using them for Barra
-
Great catch and release. Funny how often making a change pays off. Well done!
-
Great fish on the gear and good on you for letting her go. 👍

Had a few Jigmasters over the years, you could pull them to bits with a thumb screw and a twist of the side plate, pretty nifty in its day, unfortunately the gears couldn't cope with big heavy jigs and large Kingfish, so I switched to 4/0 wide Senators, with 40LB line.

Guys a few more remarks on my sled would be good Bad or good thanks Chris
-
You deserved a cracking fish after the effort you put in. Well done on sharing your method too.
-
Nice flattie on 4lb!!! Well done Adem

Went down to the rocks near Fairlight beach for quick 1 hour flick Got absolutely zero hits on the Z-Man plastics and was about to call it quits and go home with the donut, but ultimately decided to tie on an Ecogear ZX35 for a few more casts First cast on the blade and landed this big 70cm girl. It took me an age to bring her in as I was only fishing with a 4lb leader and I had no net. Ended up having to go in the water and lift her out by hand. Her head was the same as my size 12 shoe. She was pretty buggered after the fight but I got her back in the water quickly after the snaps and she swam away nicely 😊 Col

Good work there Basil.

A great fish for any time, even better from a yak.

Really old Shakespeare direct drive (1 to 1) baitcaster, the handle-side side-plate is 'imitation marble' for nice effect. Drag is your thumb!
