I tried to join AKFF but it seems there is little to no activity there. No reply to my email. I recently joined KFDU... same user name and avatar.
yep another yakka here have a hobie pro angler with pedal power and a honda 4 stroker back up , a china made sit in , a bit heavy , and a cuppla fibreglass sit-ins the older style currently under remodification make it shorter and even lighter than the plastics reinforce the edge and bottom that may contact the rocks with either timber strips or plastic stress fractures are the problem with glass but easily repaired in the field were as plastic is a bit iffy if it gets cracked they are not as forgiving as you might think but you can get into places were a boat cant get the outboard is air cooled and saves your legs on a long journey, the mount is designed for electric so its about to be modified bought the hobie secondhand and it came with the electrics but i think the battery was too heavy for the days fishing, just have to work out how to posts pics on here

Hi mate yeah I've been bass fishing for over 30 years. Im from southern nsw and have some great waterways with being untouched if you're prepared to do a little walking.Eldorado said:
I own a canoe and yak and both work for different area's. The canoe is great going down stream when you need to tuck the rods in quickly under overhanging branches ect... the Yak is great one up. Super stealth and let's you maneuver into position for that perfect cast!
I've probably caught over 2000 bass and 1990 of those got released. Best fish 620cm smallest was 2.5 inches. Same lure! They sure aren't fussy and have a go at anything
I've heard of fisherman telling tall tales but a 620cm bass, :8 I'd like to see that, even a 62cm one would be impressive. layful:
Damn typos.

Plus it is a beautiful place around that whole area.
Mate I thought that lane was landing on your head in your piccies above.
Have to organise a fishing / prospecting expo.
Saw this on fakebook. A huge king fish takes a kayak fisherman on a wild ride. Sorry I only have a facebook link.

That's a damn big fish.
You could've almost skied behind that thing

Like the propulsion system. Wouldnt be keen to buy the reel. Cracker of a fish.
had a geek at the newer hobie pro, the 14 footer , new keg addition reverse peddling but still no fold up wheels, those stick under the yak one , you get pretty wet fitting and taking them off in the water , they have every thing else that opens and shuts but those wheels there's a new stand up model for those who want to exercise its like a stair climber but nowhere to sit down when your buggered its about 3 grand must be for those stand up ppl.
