Sorry about this If you check out several differnt sites but I'm fishing for info again Anyone out there familiar with the Oban area of Scotland as I am off on me jollies for a week soon . The specific area I will be in is Port Appin within Yak dragging distance of the shores of Loch Linnhe. Any advice on species,tactics and local conditions greatly appreciated (need some practice for the coming year as I haven't been out for a paddle since Christmas ) Cheers, Nemo the Dry

Great report Jeff, Whats the legalities of fishing from a craft on this canal then? do you need a BCU licence and are any of the bank stretches run by club's.

I to am guilty of laziness when it comes to posting but that said up to press my forays onto the wet stuff have been few and far between sadly, I agree that now there are a lot of other forums set up and people tend to post more on their local sites and I am one of these but I alway's check this site out from loyalty because when I was looking into getting my first Kayak two years ago it was and still is a vast source of information. long live Anglers Net!!

Dumb question Speciman , but with the rods mounted forward and down does this not get in the way of your paddle stroke or are you using long rods? Nemo

Guy's, Just got a C-Tug myself and after a couple of DIY jobs (mostly to heavy,not collapsable and mostly failed eventually ), it works like a dream. Having a Perception Freedom storage is always a bit of a problem but the new chariot collapses down and fits thro the front hatch the wheels go in the rear tank well. Cheers, Nemo

Yes I've had a bit of that as well, so hope to see you there Sunday...

Last minute decision on the Cayton Bay trip then ?

Me to, Haven't taken a dunking yet and would prefer it to be warmer when I do

If it's Sunday I may be able to make it, which venue have you decided on. Cheers, Nemo

Got my Greenland paddle top and a pair of of paddle pant's from them, at least £10.00 cheaper than anywhere else and the turnaround time was just a couple of day's....recommended

Take a look at how well the £ is doing against the $ and think again Vol

Woooo!! There Volusian, Before you give your hard earned to Maplins check out Anson electronics down the Boulavard in Hull (http://www.ansonelectronics.co.uk/) . I am sure they will sell sealed batteries (Yausa) and possibly the chargers (used to get intruder alarm gear from them in the distant past). When I have had stuff off them they have been a lot cheaper than most in my experience so nothing ventured nothing gained . Nemo

Look at kayakfishinguk.net, Andyrocks90 had one for sale a week back, don't know if he still has it. Looks like a perception freedom to me

Space Monkey, Welcome, seem's to be an ever increasing team of yakker's turning up in the area, now I don't feel so alone. Would be interested in meeting up in the near future as soon as the weather settles a bit. Nicepix, Sorted myself with some WF 7# for my 9 1/2 footer during summer but never got the chance to use it in anger, had a bit of a practice on dry land and it seems that you can loose the knack for fly casting if you havn't done it for 12 year's . Still, managed not to impale me self . Cheers

Cost effective...you just said the magic word..
