When you couldn't be stuffed doing proper tasks it's an opportune time to pretend to look like you're actually busy at work by writing up a fishing trip report from the weekend
After weeks of weather ranging from OK to totally unplayable last Sunday's weather, although bloody cold, was looking cracker and ideal to take the Blue Viper out wide for a nice long slow conditioning paddle. After a piss poor nights sleep filled with much anticipation the jarring alarm went off at 5am. A quick load up and a cup of coffee and I was rolling out of the driveway by 5.20am and heading 45km north to Marti ..read more

Its been a long time since I did a TR report but I thought i'd do one as work is tedious at the moment and I can still type away with my colleagues none the wiser of my buggering around
Not much to report really but after weeks and weeks of really terrible Auckland based fishing I coudn't take it any longer and decided to shoot up to the far north (Whatuwhiwhi) for the weekend in the hope of getting some 'satisfaction'. It turned out to be a great decision.
Managed to get to Whatuwhiwhi and on the water by 3pm on the Friday arvo. Conditions were somewhat breezier than forecast with the wind ..read more

I'm using part of a fabric tape measure... I just chop another metre off it when I need a new one.

It is relatively cheap, relatively durable and it can be tied to the kayak if you feel the need to.

The Warehouse used to sell something similar (which I have), but they may not have them anymore.
Are you able to share a photo and let me know the brand name if possible please? I'll try Google it if I have something more to go on ..read more

What is everyone using to measure their fish?
I used to use a 40cm yellow plastic ruler with a right angle on one end which they were giving away at the boat show. Was really handy but a snapper gave it a flick and sent it over for a swim. Have tried to find something similar but there doesn't seem to be much around. Not really a fan of putting a fish measure sticker on my paddle or even kayak for that matter.
Keen to hear what else is around ..read more

Gday all. After getting into fishing through land-based stuff, I think I'm ready to level up to a yak. I currently primarily have a baitunner 8000 & Shimano vortex 7'6" 10-15kg rod which I figure would be best served chucking out straylines or perhaps sitting in the rod holder with a slider lure dragging. Also have a Shimano Sedona 2500 paired with Shimano Catana 7'9" 3-6kg rod which I have used as a trout setup down south. Would it be realistic to use this setup for soft baiting and micro jigging with some heavier braid? Have caught a ~25cm snapper on this setup using a 20g microjig from ..read more
