New fishing transport for next year.......................

[Wafty Cranker]

Bought this bad boy for some bass and pollock fishing round our local coasts, can't wait to get the thing out for a day at bass with fly rod. Will be next year now though (if we are not still in lockdown that is!!)

Thats a bad boy
A hole for a rod one side and another hole the other side obviously for a beer
Just make sure you know what you are doing with tides wind etc. The sea can be an unforgiving place

 

[Chicharito]

Looks like just the job for drifting down the Tweed! ??

Will be extremely careful for sure, no heroics from me no beer at sea either, not in a one piece dry suit anyway?

As long as you are only bugging for trout in the salmon pools

Ah, another yak man What do you do with it Iain, let's see some pictures then?

Looks sealed so can't capsize it?

I like the idea of a kayak but rekon i would be a big sacredy cat when it came time to take it out in the sea
They look like awesome bits of kit and i wonder if any of the larger trout fisheries like blagdon, keilder etc allow them on ?

Ive got the outback same idea as you havnt used it yet will have to wait for some calm weather.

These are very stable things and designed specifically to fish from.

That’s a nice yak, I’ve just been looking in the garage at mine, I’ve got to get one of them back on the water next year

Not sure of trout fisheries, i know a few pike fisheries allow them on mate.

What model is it tadpole, mine is a 2019 model, also have an electric motor with mine as well as the mirage drive, so 3 forms of propulsion if you include the paddles

Yak fishing is all new to me Karl, so next year is my first. I take it you have more than one then?

Mine is an Outback 2019 model, bought it with the trailer and electric drive unit, it turns on a sixpence using the electric motor positioned where the mirage drive sits. What are you doing for the electric drive?

Got a watersake trolling motor and im after a cassette which are hard to get in uk so might have to get one sent from outside uk unless one pops up here what battery is on yours for the motor.

Thought it was a pro angler the trailer threw me can see now its the new outback looks great lot more toys, You should get a good runtime with them two batteries also very handy that you have reverse with the flick of a button some great reviews on youtube about the outback.

 

[iainmortimer]

A small number of mine...

Yes, the batteries will do a whole long day no problem seemingly, it really is a great set up with the motor and having reverse at flick of buton is brilliant for sure, let me know how you get on with your motor

Very nice Iain, where are you fishing out off?
