    I get it but shouldn't the same rules go for everyone on site ?

    There are literally thousands of issues on here naming specific brands once again outboards reels and even lures 

    Freedom of speech 

    Or is that just for seasoned raiders ?

    I've said what I've had to say with no decent reply or answer 

    So I guess we will leave it there 

    Cheers

    Oh another word of advice ....

    Dealers mark up everything so if I was to to buy a second hand one from a stealer I mean dealer sorry 

    May as well buy a new one 

    My 2 cents 

    Because all they've done is got it from a trade in or whatever gave it a service and doubling what they got it for a lot of good diy threads on here and the net 

    Could probably even fix the one you got  with a bit of research 

    Just my 2 cents

    I think I'd rather go 2nd hand as new like run in etc any faults might be already fixedand mainly cost 

    Mines a 2004 model and it's presents and runs like new 

    ( 90 hours )

    And if it's FG  definately go bigger if your transoms in good solid shape

    insanity of cod fishing

    I had a short window to head out after murray cod again Dad decided to come with me to suss out the spot. I had a pre plan of being dropped upstream and kayaking down to the campsite about 2.2km of river I'd seen most of the bottom end on foot last time I was out there and had most of the rapids sussed as a nice easy run.

    Launched the kayak full of confidance water was looking good except I didn't realise the river had dropped atleast 1.2m since I was out there last. The first couple of holes didn't produce but they were a bit shallow with short portages at the end of each one, after an hour came to a decent portage with there being 20m of boulders with a tricle of water through them after a bit of teeth gritting the kaya was dragged into a beautiful looking pool

    Wasn't long before I hooked a fish only small he fell off beside the yak, now filled with some confidance kept hitting the snags with casts an eternity passes before a "hail mary" cast into a log gets smashed had to fight the fish hanging over the back of the kayak but managed to extract a beautiful little cod measuring up 50cm

    excuse the photography its hard to use auto timer and a tripod on a aya with an angry cod

    now full of confidance kept casting and casting reaching the end of the pool with no result then I saw a nasty looking portage through low branches and boulders still the fish kept me motivated. 

    Onto the next pool again no fish and another nasty portage this was the case for the next couple of pools and finally I coud see the cliff opposite the campsite the portages were nearly over. That was the moment I realised the river was down and the nice easy rapids were a atleast 300m section of boulders with a trickle around them so what was meant to take 10 minutes took about 1.5 hours so after loads of lost skin a broken rod and falling in a freezing pool of water I finally reached the end and chanted a great HALLEF#*@KINGLEAYAH and turn to see a family who had been walking the riverside trail and apparently the kids had taken great amusement in watching me curse my way along the river. With every muscle aching it was food beer and sleep for the evening.

    Up early the next morning for another crack this time heading downstream luckily only one small portage to the pool I wanted to fish and it wasn't long before a cod charged the spinnerbait down he put on quite a fight for a small fish

    never get sick of these fish beside the kayak

    kept casting for a few miss hits and then spent about 20 minutes watching a platypus go about his business with basic pain from head to toe and a 5 hour drive home decided to call it quits.

    I have never worked so hard for 2 fish and despite the pain and frustration all I can think about is when can I get back out there and have another go 

    cheers for reading 

    Dave

    I got a freedomsport check it out in members boats it's on the last page easy to find .I've had about 15 boats and this is my favourite  ....but I am aluminium biased and only had alloy boats for the simple fact of maintenance and I'm a welder so they are good for me to customise  and weld ?...I'm sure others have there preferance but this is mine and with the millenium hull it's really quiet and not slappy on the water mmmm feel like going fishing ?but if going offshore I'd get one bigger than mine and more HP ...mines setup for estuarys ,dams  I'd take it out a lil bit on a good day but wouldn't go to far out I remember when I done my boat licence a long time ago we went on a 6 m freedomsport with a 200 HP Merc I think from memory was an absolute beast and always wanted one after that but looking at a lot more than 20 k

    plan B pays off
