Hi Have you thought of useing a loading bar? Clamps or pulls out from front bar then you lift front of yak on the bar then lift back end up.Have a look here:- http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com/Merchant2...ategory_Code=kc

Hi RS I Carry 3 yaks(1 mambo 2 P13) on my car with 1 set of uprights with no problems if you are only carry 2yaks put one each side and fix with 2 sets of cam straps for added surecurity use bow and stern straps

Yes will take a mat but will keep them in water if possible,probably be quicker and safer to use crops [ 25. July 2005, 10:57 PM: Message edited by: ***oLLy*** ]

Hi Simon Have you tried to trip this anchor system yet because it relies on you to be able to paddle up tide to set chain in right position.

Thanks newt you learn something every day

Glad I kept that dictionary Handy occlude=To cause to become closed; obstruct demon demon

For the Non sailors Outhaul = A rope used to extend a sail along a spar or boom. Better keep the dictionary handy

You sometimes have to be carefull with pixmania ive heard they somtimes send out gear with no english manuals

Good to see you posting again YY will be nice to see you on kayakfishing UK as well.It would be a good idea to have a sticky devoted to safety issues would it not

Hi martin got my rack from halfords for my focus about £70 dont worry about weight focus and rack are rated at 75KG you might want to use bow and stern straps as well as strapping it to the roof bars as the bars are quite close together I usually travel with 2 prowlers and 1 mambo on mine with no problems I used to get a lot wind noise on the straps but someone suggested twisting strap and that has cured it hope this helps

Hi. Murph They wont know what a fishing kayak looks like need educating you could just turn up and see what they say, you're between coniston and windermere any way so not too far to go

Andy try Low Wray Campsite on western shore of Windermere Link Not been but have been told it is a good site you only need EA rod licence which you can get online (day,week,year)

You will find this site usefull for fishing in the lake district. Lake district fishing

Good pics, How strong is the currant in that area and can you make any headway, trying to gauge what is maximum flow you could go against and still make headway suppose it depends on how fast you could paddle as well.Re. 3rd picture how have you sealed the hull after you have climbed in .Could we have some surfing pictures next please, thanks again for good action pics
