Congratulations Simon have read your article in Junes edition of boat fishing. I am waiting in anticipation on the next edition to see how you rig the yac but from some of the other photos you have posted i might be able to guess how. Some of my work colleages who have been taken the mick are also waiting so bring it on long live the kayak fisherman/person. PS when are you launching the kayak fishing monthly.(only kidding...or maybe not) GUS

Hey up mate yes the river can get busy but you have no fears of being run down 98% of people give you the respect and a wide berth so not to cause problems. On the saturday in question high water is at 10.35am so depending on what time you will be going out will depend on the best approach. Will watch the site to see if you get more details of timmings etc and will advise you accordingly.Or call me on 0777 it has a answer service on so if i dont answer leave a message i will get back as some of my work does not allow mobiles because of safety [ 15.

Hello yakity yac in reply i have a bic sport balboa.I have purchased a fishing seat for the kayak which has 2 built in rod rests.I addapted the seat with a couple of tubes to make the rod holders a bit more sturdy and added a couple of leashes so i dont loose my rods.The seat also has a pocket which i put my lure boxes etc in.If im bait fishing i just hang my buckets on the side. I stay in Holbury in the new forest Hampshire and do most of my fishing in the Solent

Hello Mate Gus here i live in Holbury just outside Southampton.Which Venturers rescue service are you going to as if it is the one in Hythe or Calshot there is a lot of good fishing around. If you can confirm which one your going to i can give a more accurate idea of what you could catch. In the area just know there are a few plaice,smoothound,flounder,pout,pollack and lots of bass. Please reply as if i can get away from work it would be good to see what sort of set up you have and maybe i could pick up a couple of pointers. Gus. PS went up the river beaulieu yesterday and had 18 bass on lures.
