Mate!

When that pitch black eye coldly glares at you from the clear blue depths, you either make yourself very very VERY small or get the H.... out of there. I run faster than I can paddle so I thought the best option was follow His example!

Enjoying the berley discussion.

After releasing something like 200kg total of school shark at Cape Reinga and successfully boating (read measure my kayak against!) a 150kg bronzie I started to change my mind about tying berley to my yak. The final straw was visitation by a 300kg class mako off Cape Brett. After sucking the kayak up my butt and walking on water, I became fimly convinced that berley is best attached to something else.

Funny how you can see a mako's teeth as it swims along. I can't decide if it was pleased to see me or simple laughing at my antics!

Hi Andrew, Stopping generally isn't a problem. The ray will either tire after several hundred meters.. or so..., go again... stop again, then when its buggered you can retrieve the spear. or the spear will come out if you put enough pressure on... ie/ back paddle. Pays to have the paddle attached by a slight rope so that you don't loose it. Direction on the other hand.... well generally they would go away from the kayak as they perceived that as the threat... so in other words don't spear one behind the kayak.... thats better known as the flip and spin side. This is the kind of thing that I used to do in the teenage years.... when I never had a power boat.... Now I'm a Green man.]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2003 15:57:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2330&PID=24139&title=playing-fish-from-a-kayak#24139 <![CDATA[Playing Fish From A Kayak : Tomsta is stopping a problem??...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2330&PID=23586&title=playing-fish-from-a-kayak#23586 Author: Mr Bean

KingfishSi, the difference is that the Pig Feed doesn't have the blood in it which really gets a rise out of a Shark.

BFH. I like the idea!  

You try it first?

Kayak Fishing does have it's moments. A great past time up in the Rangauna Harbour where there is a heap of large stingrays was to have a harpoon or spear made up. Tied to a long 100 kg trace and inturn attached to the front of the kayak. Hold the spear and Slowly drift a long. When you see a good sized stingray plant your harpoon in near the tail and hold on tight. It's a great adrenaline Buzz and faster than paddling I can gaurantee that!! ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2003 15:42:24 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2330&PID=23528&title=playing-fish-from-a-kayak#23528 <![CDATA[Playing Fish From A Kayak : Yeehah, kayak fishing sounds even...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2330&PID=23523&title=playing-fish-from-a-kayak#23523 Author: KingfishSi

Yeehah, kayak fishing sounds even better to me now... I'm ambidexterious!

HellFish, what's the diff between the fish foul and pig pellets? Good idea keeping it away and not connected straight to the kayak!]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2003 14:31:34 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2330&PID=23523&title=playing-fish-from-a-kayak#23523 <![CDATA[Playing Fish From A Kayak : New Techniques to try.

New Techniques to try.

If you are right handed reeling with your right hand and fighting with your left, reel in on the right hand side. Vice Versa for the Left. When You net or gaff your fish you'll have full range of motion with your dexterious hand. Doing this allows for maximum balance and coordination.

I've been told countless times not to hang burly off the side of the Kayak. A Mako or Bronzie will not be as intimidated by the kayak as they would with a bigger shadow in the water from a larger boat.

Also, instead of fish foul, use pig pellets soaked in fish oil hung from a float away from the yak.

Give it a try and let me have some feedback?
