Hi Noodle. Sounds like a challenging project Just my oppinion...but....I think it would cost you a few bob to do it, and you wouldnt be able to guarentee the end product, or trust it?

Hi poledark ( Dan ) Cheers me dear .....sorry to hear you have problems too.....bunch of old knackers we are Have to dust of the beach gear again .......just hope I can fit it all on the Zimmer Frame . Take care. Bill.

Hi All. After a lot of thought, I have decided to hang up my paddle. I have a re-accuring back problem that puts me on my ar**e for days. I do not want to be a liability on the water, and have my family to think of too. I recently imported a South African Ski STEALTH X2010 ( Fibreglass)....not even been in the water. It cost me £1200 with import duties, customs etc......will accept £900.00 if any one interested. Buyer will have to collect from Devon. (Appolagies Newt....I know its in the wrong place, but I wanted it noticed. ) Cheers all. Bill.

Hi Richi. Yes, Anglers Net was the No1 Kayak Fishing Forum......infact it was the only one in the u.k. at the start. (although Not a dedicated forum ) hosted in the beggining, by the Sea Fishing Section, before Elton set up the Kayak forum later on. I think the interest in the sport, and the speed at which it grew, made Anglers Net Kayak Fishing forum, a victim of its own success. What was once a friendly place to share ideas and oppinions , soon became a marketing free for all, that went unchecked for to long. With more and more members joining the forum, it became a race to be No1. Only to be expected, because nobody had set any records, the sport was in its infancy in the u.k. at the time, so much was out there to do, and to be be taken, and exploited. Arguments and petty bickering dragged the forum down, and I think, put a lot of people off of posting, and visiting. We lost the spirit of the forum, and some great charactors too. Hopefully one day, we can get that back. All very sad really, because at the end of the day, we all enjoy what we do, we need to learn how to share it again. I hope that 2009 will see the old spirit and friendship come back, and we see a few of the old posters return, along with some good old banter.

Richi. What a shame. You have done some great work to promote the sport of Kayakfishing, i.e Demo days. Some of your exploits have been a credit to you. But dont get above your station, and start to judge others on thier performance and the amount of launches they can manage during a seaon. A lot of people have very busy lives to lead, and family commitments too, so are not lucky enough to get out as often as they would like. Its not about how many fish you catch,or the amount of launches you can achieve, but rather the quality time you can fit in and enjoy. There is much more to being an ambassador for the sport, than the amount of time you spend on the water,or how far,and how often you can paddle. You had a lot of help from Anglers Net when you started Kayak fishing, so a bit of respect to its members wouldnt go a miss, infact to all fellow kayakfisherman dont judge them, I hope Santa brings you some smaller boots, the ones you have seem a bit big for you Merry Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone, and a happy and safe NEW YEAR

Hi Davey Welcome to Anglers Net. I can vouch for the Stealth Drrive, great piece of kit, worth the money. The drive propels a yak along very nicely indeed, I was very impressed with it. Some like motors, some dont......same can be said about sails too. If i adds to what is already a great way to fish.....go for it. Good luck. Bill.

Hi KenL Welcome to Anglers Net. Interesting reading, nice post.

Hi Dan The Cag and pants look good. The cag being breathable is a good thing. The Dive boots will be fine, try wearing a pair of woolen socks with them too, as daft as it sounds, they will help retain heat aswell. Bill.
