  6. Palm have got a new boot coming out this month at my local kayak dealer, comes to just under the knee and is supposed to be waterproof like the Chota Mudluks.I've ordered a pair for as soon as they come in. Also the chemical foot warmer pads work I have the Jobe boots and they are far better than the yauchtie type.wore them with neoprene socks last saturday evening with bootie less paddle pants and was well warm,but when the winter comes on full it'll be drysuit,merino socks and my new Palm boots.

  9. Look at her looking up in admiration I suspect a fat bloke that sells kayaks sent you the pics Snapper
  10. Wind permitting every week
  11. She makes the girl in pic two look like Jade Goody
  12. We have a couple of dealers nearby and one of them has already been fishing with us and they are starting to get a range of fishing accessories in--They are Crazy Water in Highcliffe also Bournemouth canoes have a range of fishing accessories and they have been talking about going fishing during their winter slack period P.S. I have no commercial connections with either of these companies but I do have a bit of a crush on Leanne from Crazywater
  13. plenty of fleeces Trev,you have a PM
  14. I went for the large cag too,!'m 38ins
  15. Darnsarf is your man,you should PM him. He is also a Scupper driver and he's paddled the sprinter If you enjoy paddling the Scupper you will love the Sprinter(if your bum's not too big )
  16. he certainly had his 6lb class rod bending! We all returned happy to the beach and were met by OKReally and a load of drunks, although I hasten to add that the drunks were not with him! One woman who could barely stand asked if she could have a go! And one lad said to Tratty"I didn't know you could catch fish from the sea here" We donated our catch to Mark Crame's freezer and made our way back to the Broad.When we got to the Broad I took the O.K. Sprinter for a test paddle to see how they go----and go it did, like a rocket,it literally flew from one side of the broad to the other,the faster it went,the faster and harder I paddled-it made you want to go faster.I got back to the launch point and was puffing like I'd just run 100 metres,I suppose I had -with my arms Brilliant tool for the experienced yakker to improve his rep rate/stamina or overall fitness and fun Day 3: Launched at about 0830 with Tratty and StarvinMarvin. Snapper,Mike and Gavstick had launched earlier. It was easily the warmest day with fairly calm seas.We fished slightly more south than I/we were the previous two days to take the best advantage from the tide.It was a good two mile paddle before we all anchored up in 40ft. It didn't take long before we were into fish with doggies,whiting and codling being caught even the little fellow managed a few codling We had a great day-again! Saw the local rescue boat Tried out my bite detectors Caught some nice codling Nearly got mown down by a gin palace until I stood up with my orange hat on Got a nice birdie in my Shimano(mental note to self-no more pendulums ) and on our return it seemed that half the village had turned out! Met Snapper and Gavstick on the beach along with O.K.Really on our return and we all talked yaks for a while before our return to the broad. I really had a great time Was great to see old and new members of the yakfishing family Thanks to Mark Crame for all your hard work and enthusiasm and Andrew Dron for allowing the loan of the demo yaks I think a few of us might head up there again soon
  17. Firstly thanks to Mark Crame for his hard work in organising the event and his hard work during the weekend to ensure that it was a success Day 1: Launched alone on Friday morning at about 0730 near the Lowestoft pier and headed out directly east.After about a mile (or so )I could see 2 fishing boats so decided to make my way over to where they were fishing.Had some ragworm and a box of squid (thanks Mark)and 3 rods out,one with full squid and two with rag/squid cocktail. Anchored up and was joined by a couple of birds! After about half an hour had my first fish that was a doggie that let go of the bait at the surface.I was thinking "what if that is my only fish and I didn't get a photo!".Soon my worries were eased as I brought a whiting to the yak for a pic after that it was a doggie or huss(no good asking me!) Soon after I had a small codling or two and then they started coming bigger. I ended up with seven codling and four for the table-enough to feed the troops!The biggest was about 3 1/2 lb drove back to the Broadlands holiday village and had a barbeque and a few beers with the lads and Mark(Jamie Oliver) almost cooked us all Cod & Chips Day 2: Saw a later launch,I think around 10am and joining me were Lozz and Tratty. there was a little surf,just enough to give a damp cockpit we headed out and anchored up near two fishing boats who were joined by another for a short while after about an hour and just small stuff we decided to head out further to the deeper water. As soon as we got to the deeper water things began to improve and we all caught some codling with Lozz getting the biggest ones on full squid ]
  18. Thanks Dave,you old wind up you At the end of the day,I'm proud to be associated with O.K.(u.k. )and consider it a huge honour as I'm sure Mark and David do to be allowed to trial for them.I'm on my 3rd kayak from Ocean Kayaks and each one has been slightly better (for my purpose)than the last and I see no reason for changing and heaps of reasons not to. Like many of you kayakfishing has changed my life. I love the enthuisiasm that the newbies bring to the forum and those first Kayak catch posts are a treat.I'll bet there is a newbie around somewhere now staring at his new Ocean Kayak in anticipation of his first launch this weekend----you know the feeling! and I for one am very grateful for every time that I have felt that same excitement and I know damn well you lot are too!
  19. yep but how am I going to get ready for the Eastern meet with all this fun going on?
  20. I doubt it Gareth. this was all expected when the matter of team O.K. was first discussed many months ago but we're all men and can take it A Fellow Trident Lover
  21. also free if you inspire loads of people every year whether it be by catching heaps of good fish or spending a considerable amount of money and time funding and organising a meet where all comers are welcome and spending loads of your free time including a fair part of your one weeks holiday giving advice. As far as the write a good report--- I wouldn't swap my Trident for anything that is on the market at the moment and I have been offered others since receiving it we can all tell it like it is
  22. It weighed(from memory)roughly the same as the wing but it was a touring type blade Speciman,how does it compare to the wing? All I can say is that it is a beautifully finished piece of kit and I WANT ONE! I tried his scaffold pole one day while Nifty used the wing,not only did he leave me standing but my arms hurt
