    That creek would of come in handy for sure.Not familiar with kayaks as I've never had one but know they weigh a fair bit.

    Have you thought about a simple roller on the rear of the car and placing the front of the kayak on that then sliding her on that way?

    Just a thougt.

    Honestly I haven't seen one that would work but I'm not super mechanically minded.

    How have you been getting it to and fro from the water?Do you live waterfront?Have help chucking it on/off the car and drive to the water?

    Both. Broughton mill creek runs through my folks property and that's where I get bass, yaks have been stored there until last week. Otherwise the misus usually comes with me and we wack them both on the car.

    Next you'll need to make one of these Rah.

    Also make sure whatever you use the brackets/hardware are secured firmly.

    Cheers.

    Not bad Fab. I have been looking into some side loaders as I'm slightly vertically challenged at 5' haha

    Yeah I think I'm leaning towards the slings. Not sure I'll get the outlander in with them up though as they will have to sit inter metal beams. Mazda 3 should fit though. 

     

    Are the fleebay ones any good?

     

    What will you miss from FR the most?

    What's not to miss?

    It's all been said. 

    It's amazing how you can be friends with people you have never actually met. 

    The generosity of raiders is astounding. I will miss that for sure. 

    I'll miss Yowies port hacking posts as it reminds me of when I was 12 and I would ride my bike with rod, tackle box and frozen prawns down to lilli pilli point from dolans bay (No mean feat as anyone who has been down there would know)

    I'll never forget all I have learnt from reading thousands of posts. 

     

    But FR has not only affected my life but my family's too. Even my mum will say, oh you should put that on fishraider. 

    My partner contacted Stew to get some ideas on presents for me. That's the kinda place this is. You don't even have to be a member to know it and enjoy it. 

    I will miss all of it.

    G'day Raiders,

    Finally have a garage to store my yaks in and was wondering what you guys do,  before I build/buy any yak storage holders.

    Have been thinking about either wall mounts or ceiling slings or good old just up in the corner. 

     

    What have you found works the best?

    Up until now they have just been up the side of my folks house. 

     

    Cheers

    FISHRAIDERS LAST HURRAH

    Thank you Stewey and Donna,Craig, past and present Mods, sponsors and everyone who has contributed to FR over the years. 

    If it wasn't for Raiders answering questions  (often repetedly) my fishing would still be mediocre. I have learnt skills, made friends and spent a small fortune to improve my passion. 

    There will be hours of the work day that I will need to fill, not with work obviously. I'll save on my phone bill, with not going over the data that I can spend on fishing gear though. 

    I will miss reading everyone's tales, story's and tips. 

    Thank you Swordies for keeping this great community alive for the last 13 years and  to everyone who has been apart of fishraider. 

    Cheers

    Tara
