GreyNurse Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Now that's an idea. Can we wait till the weather warms up a bit first, though? I know there's more than the odd few Raiders out there who have yaks and might like the idea. Any particular venue in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quochuy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm in regardless of air/water temperature ;-) depending on location Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Please note: that this would not be an official Fishraider organised event unless approved by admin. Cheers scratchie mod team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Either way Scratchie, It's worth having a go and see what happens. I think a flotilla of yaks would look awesome on any waterway! I hope we get a few who are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Couldn't agree more nursie! And if you have it up this way, I'll probably get 10 more to tag along! I was just pointing out the obvious! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witha Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Definitely count me in don't be a sook nurse! Even the dead of winter this year wasn't that bad in the yak! Haha. Very keen to meet a few more yak raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynabolt Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I would love to come along and see how others go about their fishing. Just need to get some wet suit bottoms.... Cos I am also a bit of a sook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sook Schmook! I'm not as young as some of you heroes and my joints hurt in the cold. Come summer, however, and this Clark Kent dons his Superman outfit and is a different person. (Yeah, Ok the Watersnake helps), but nonetheless, I'm all for a yak gathering. Let's see if the Swordies want in to consider making this a sanctioned social. BigRod, good thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtp Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm also interested. Sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRod Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 well i was out on the hobie on sunday water temp is about 17 so its not bad plenty of Flathead about . as far as a venue im open to suggestions we would need to keep some things in mind when picking venues ie parking (no on wants to pay for parking), the size of some peoples kayaks are not safe in open water ( safety first).

GreyNurse Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Rod, As far as I'm concerned, Port Hacking and Georges River, although both good water ways, offer parking problems for large groups. However, Narrabeen Lake or Appletree Bay have plenty of good parking areas (you do get stuck with a $7 fee at Appletree, but it's probably worth it). Sydney Harbour would possibly be OK west of the bridge parking-wise. I'm not talking 100% from experience, but Google Maps gives one a good idea of parking spaces. Personally, I reckon Narrabeen Lake, as it's next door to Narrabeen itself, so last minute purchases of supplies is easy, it's not too bad to access from most places in Sydney, and it offers a good variety of fish and locations. But then again, the Georges, upstream of the Liverpool weir could also be good. I'd welcome other Raiders' inputs as my recommendation is by no means going to be welcomed by at least some would be participants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quochuy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm OK for Northern Beaches area and higher (live in Central Coast). Narrabeen Lakes is great but depending on the day it can be busy. But should prolly be OK at this time of the year. I like Apple Tree bay/Bobbin Head too. I think the National Pak there is $11 a day not $7, tbc. If you guys don't mind the travel then up the Central Coast most parkings are free :-) Terrigal if you want to fish the ocean or The Entrance or Lake macquarie for lakes.

BigRod Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I like the Narrabeen lakes idea liverpool is ok they put a new wharf in there at the flowerpower at milperra , appletree is a nice suggestion Any admins keen to support a Raiders yak day out Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quochuy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Confirmed, Apple Tree Bay is part of Kuringai Chase National Park and access is $11 per car per day: http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/Kuringgai-Chase-National-Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRod Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hmm i think apple tree will be a good spot plenty of parking and a good variety of fish to target and is a safe water way if anyone has a negative points besides jetski idiots please share Next is just to sort out a date Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnachie Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Myself and my mate would be keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthecowgodmoo Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Narrabeen, around where the football oval is would be a great spot. Plenty of free parking, loads of room to launch from near the cricket nets, and you are within easy access to loads of nice little spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRod Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Ok need some info from around the Narrabeen lakes need a spot that has plenty of free parking plenty of room sandy banks for easy launchs Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 There are three likely spots at Narrabeen Lake. Middle Creek Reserve, at the back of the lake, Billarong Reserve, on the north side of the like about mid distance between the entrance and Middle Creek. Both are off the Wakehurst Parkway. Or Lakeside Park, off Pittwater Road, near the lake entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
