  9. very valid point about the drag SpeciMan, a couple of kayaks ago when I had a OK Caper I tried the Cuda 128 with the puck in the water held by a bracket I made out of an old beach tripod and the drag I got from that little puck was surprising I was keen on the side imaging unit but wanted the puck in the scupper hole

  14. With 10ft swells and 15mph+ winds predicted I decided to Launch at Lepe take the ebb down the Solent and return with the sail half way across to the island the swell got worse but no way was it 10ft,it was certainly less than on our last Portland trip reached Thorness Bay then continued westerly to Salt Mead Ledges and anchored up in 28ft.Caught a lovely looking edible crab that went back,but nothing else After an hours fishing at Salt Mead decided to continue westerly to Hamstead Ledge,on the way near Newtown gravel bank I saw a slipway that led to a farmers field?!! eventually made it to Hamstead Ledge and anchored up near the Bouy in 82ft,after an hours fishing and no bites the predicted wind had dropped to about 1mph I decided I had better return as I had a long paddle ahead without the expected wind assistance(bloody weather forecasters was certainly uttered a few times!) .Set the GPS to return to the launch point and it told me that if I paddled in a straight line it was 5.4 miles. Encountered a few boats and this small freight ship mid channel but all in all there was not many people on the water(probably due to the weather forecasters!) Tallying the miles up I covered 13 in all and with the lack of fish and lack of wind the trip didn't really go as planned but it was a real good workout and my stomach muscles feel as tight as a drum. It was also a good chance to check out more Isle Of Wight marks for my summer expedition

    Which Kayac ?

    at Berkshire canoes they hire out S.O.T.s by the hour or day,you should pop along there and look at their range and take one for a spin---here is a link to them http://www.berkshirecanoesandkayaks.co.uk/content/hire
  16. reckon a visit to the Conger Hunt might solve your Bass problem---your good friend mr.Hurst had a 7 1/2lber and an 8 1/2lber last year
  17. much better thanks Dave,got out today Decided late last night to fish Browndown.Met Tratty at about a quarter to ten,it was very cold.Rigged up and readied ourselves for launch We decided to stay quite close inshore (about 1/2 mile) Fishing after an initial slow start (where we were both getting bites but failed to connect) got quite busy with numerous pout Whiting and I also caught a small Bass But no cod At the end of our session we were joined by another yakfisherman who anchored up a small distance away but appeared to drift away before we had the chance to chat or recognise him afterwards in the car park we realised when he returned that it was v8Rob,congratulations on your first outing Rob----if you can handle a snotty sea and temperatures around zero you are well on the way to ExtremeKayakfishing Even though it was bloody cold we had a great time
  18. bet your missus will be glad it wasn't the 24ah

    Anchoring

    always use a weak link,always let plenty of rope out and always retrieve from in front of you oh and never anchor in too strong a tide or a tidal race
