Awesome footage. I do kayak fishing in that area now im worried......

Well done. A great report. Nice catch on your first kayak fishing outing. Please do safety recovery test on your kayak. I got flipped on a very calm day when tug boat came too close and fast. Created fast moving waves over 1.2 meter high and repeated waves 2 meters apart and flipped my 14.2 mtr Hobie PA14. It was my first accident after fishing over a year in yak. Wear a good PFD life jacket. I managed to flip back by stepping on to boondox landing gear legs and pulling side anchor trolley line and only lost very expensive anchor rig. Be safe on the water and good luck.

Nice video. Where about you fishing?

Thanks PaddyT. The locals or fishmen uses cheap prawns there. I surely will tell them not to use it when i go there. I always use fresh Hawkesberry prawns but very pricey.

Welcome steve to fishraider. As weather is warming up there should be more fish in the harbour. Its luck and matter of repetitive spot fishing, one day you catch good feed and next day dougnuts. In late Nov and Dec go to Green point reserve at Watsons bay south side ( looking towards harbour bridge. Couple of hours before sunset there are fishmen chasing big travelly. Its great catch and release fishing if you dont like eating travellies. Use light gear its great fun. My biggest catch there was 57cm. Great numbers of travelly come into harbour maybe to spawn. Good luck. P.s use cheap coles pink prawns No sinkers and burley bread.

Good to be a live and safe. You should buy lottery ticket.... Good luck.

Hi there fellow members love to join your next hairtail session in August. I have been long time land base fishing but Not much experience in kayak fishing but kin to learn from experience members from this group. I will keep an eye on your fishing trip. Cheers.

Nice report. So where about did you catch does nice hairtails i like to try night fishing on my kayak.

Sorry mate my typing error Aus $ dollar. We will find out soon how much there sell for. As for upgrade i though converting the old mirage drive parts to new 180 mirage drive. Thanks for your correction and info.

You can get a new trolling motor design called Bixpy jet. This unit combined with lithium battery weights only 5 kg. My trolling motor and battery weights more than 30kgs. Expensive but ideal for cutting down weight. Very interesting concept. Its just manufacting the designs preorder now. Www.bixpyjet.com I liked it so much i ordered one for my Hobie pa 14 2017 model.

Hi there i preordered back in sept last year and got my Hobie PA 14 miragedrive 180 in mid December 2016. Its awesome vessel had to get a trailer and ordered a Boonedox landing gear which is permanently attached to the kayak for easy lauching. The new miragedrive is quick and easy to peddle. There is no upgrade. You have to buy a new miragedrive. Its about us $1000.

Hi there fellow fishers. I am long time land based fisher decided to get a cheap paddle 3.6m kayak and pimped up the kayak its good enough to fish in but found be unstable on rough conditions so i research alot on you tube and decided on a new Hobie PA 14 mirage drive 180. Its awesome . My advice on any boat or kayak always upgrade to couple of level up. Second hand is a great option in my case i had to get the new 2017 model with reverse peddling option fishing is so much easier. Price is an over kill on Hobies but there are one of the best kayak fishing kayaks.
