  1. horses for courses mike..i fish real skinny water a lot of the time..dragging over logs rocks sandbars...my yak is 23kg  easy to portage from pool to pool in small systems..occasionally I have a paddle in local lake if not too windy..i have no intention to paddle in ocean waters..so.2.7 basic yak suits me..if going to sea with livebait tank and wanting tracking and stability  go big..the choice is there...but...I don't think there is an inbetween...if I was starting out  I would have the same thoughts  ..its like buying a boat  some suit rivers n lakes some suit traveling to the shelf  ..which one would you buy??????depends on majority of fishing intended...rick

  2. are you using a good quality 'outboard' oil and not just two stroke oil.....generally people disconnect oil pumps cause they are not providing enough oil  not too much...also check that your plugs are the correct ones and the right heat range...I had an 85 v4 johno and it only ran properly with plugs that had a round central electrode not the normal bent over electrode...rick

  3. ive caught over a dozen good jew in flood times spinning..the front ledges have produced tailor/kings/bonnies/salmon...we used to walk down to tallow beach then spin and walk our way round to the western side of box then walk straight up onto the track back along top of headland...long walk in but can be worth it..also good bream n drummer..doesn't get a lot of pressure..rick

  4. we normally catch slimies and yakkas in front of the headland towards the southern end in close  or 150 mtrs south shallow reef out from beach..normally there are slimies up at the shoals..also they can be scattered on the reef inside mermaid...hope this helps..look at google maps and you can see reef out from beach..rick

  5. nice king baz...thought I might get a few people to drag some more goldens out with this thread...the hardest part now jeff is exporting fotos to dropbox then to dumputer.hahaha  technology hey.???never even dreamed of lever drag reels back then...rick

  7. first step is to learn either an FG knot or Albright knot to attach leader material to to your braid..you don't have to use braid..i use 4lb or 6lb mono for bream...then look up various loop knots..i use a Homer Rhodes..very easy very effective...from there you have a choice of hundreds of lures...use the search function and you will find many many tips..just recently this subject has been brought up a few times..pan thru saltwater lure fishing section...rick

  8. baz there are that many there ..I think you will still be in with  a chance when the wind backs down.....im not sure how they are policing  the closure but there were schools outside the eastern markers the other day...so still worth a look..the minority doin the wrong thing has bit us doin the right thing.....rick
