Hi mate
Best tips i can give you up to you if you want to take it or not
1st tip , Buy the 3.6m yak you will find the 2.7m is a waste of time and a pain in the ass for fishing , there is many reasons for this .
2nd Tip , make sure your the kayak you buy has a steering Rudder
those are some important features you need to consider when buying a yak
also there is a asian importer in windang south of the bridge , he sells some very nice kayaks at very good prices if you want a new one or you can look on gumtree
also standing up in those types of kayaks are very hard without modifications , bet bet is save a little more and buy a 2nd hand Pro Angler 12

Hey Mate i bought my Hobie PA14 Last year and i cant be happier with it there fast and easy to use there is very little need to pimp it most people have there preference on the hobie or the native crafts these 2 brands are by far the market leaders best bet is to keep an eye out for the try before you buy days i know penrith Bass Angler do it also there is another place in north sydney i think do it .
personally i found the pa14 had more room and was more stable and @ 120kg im no light weight and i find it very easy to stand in and cast till my hearts content
good luck with your choice and remember to post picks and brag about your new yak in the forums

Only two beaches to choose from to launch near hill60.....Fishermans and that little one behind the college. Personally the little one would be my choice as there is little to no waves but getting the Yak back up the 60 degree road off the beach after a day yaking would be tiring ?
Fishermans has small waves so you could probably launch there.
the beach next to the treament works isnt to bad with a 2 people its very doable

Sorry man, im keen to go when ever but i got to admit beach launches are going to be wet in my kayak lmao. I went out to the island to the NE of the port entrance on sunday. I got out there and a bloke in a boat kept talking about sharks and my imminent death so i lost my nerve and went back to port...
you wanna go back to willis road or just launch from PK ramp again and we dont need to worry about sharks i had a small tiger visit mine when i went to to port mac , there usually just curious we have more of a chance running in to a bull shark in sydney harbour or in the hawkesbury

I have fished the lake for a long time with soft plastics and personally squidgies live prawns with the paddle tale or curly tale have worked best for me and my style of fishing there good luck
