Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies. I wanted to check out with local yakers, how easy or not as the case maybe, paddling against the tidal race around our shoreline and the ease of anchoring in such conditions. Also on a good day how far out would be wise to venture to fish. I would also like to know and share any tips you may have for rooftop loading onto a Jeep 4x4. How easy would it be to do single handed for a chap past his prime. Thanks once again. Cheers, Josh.

I am considering buying my first fishing kayak when I noticed a couple of yakers fishing off Ogmore by Sea yesterday Sat 3 May. If you gentlemen read these posts I would be glad to contact you to discuss my options and for some general advice. Any help from yakkers in the Bridgend Porthcawl area would be appreciated. Cheers Josh.

Thanks lads for all your advice I will take it all on board before choosing a Yak. You are right John very fast rips around Porthcawl area. If anyone is heading down to Newton Bay or mouth of river Ogmore perhaps we could meet to look at your Yak. By the way when I was over South Africa recently, dealers near the Indian Ocean were selling Pelicans £460 and Dorados £580 inc taxes, add approx £200 shipping costs. I do not know what UK dealers are quoting I cant seem to find any firm prices over here. Cheers Josh.

Hi I would like help in choosing a fishing kayak. I am a newbie and will be fishing off Porthcawl South Wales in fast waters of the Bristol Channel. I aim to travel around about 3 miles to various fishing marks. Also I would be tranporting on my own on top of high 4x4. I am 5.10. 13st aged 60. I am considering Prowler13, Elite or Kaskazi Dorado. or any others that might fit the bill. Thanks in antgicipation Josh
