Hello Bluewater,
Welcome to the forum. We do have a resident member "Limitless" who can add some cool stories to this thread. He's unavoidably detained at the moment. He goes as far as past the poor knights targeting Hapuka from his Kayak.
I've learned that if you value your life, don't use anything greater than 8kg braid off the yak.
There is a point where a breakoff is needed to save your life. We use 6 and 8 KG IGFA mono with 37.5 kg trace for just about everything.
Fishing a Kingie from a yak is more of pulling you to the kingie than pulling the kingie to you.
We will have to call for a Forum Kayak Fishing Day by the end of the summer. So we can all get aquainted and learn from each other. There is always more than one way to skin a fish, or "Kill a Cat"
Cheers

Only have the kayak a few weeks and have caught a few kawhai. The biggest thing I caught was about 2-3kgs but I did not recognise it so I made an on the spot decision that I did not want the spiney creature flapping between my bare legs so I flipped it out again.
Sweet Az
I'll run it past Limitless and get his thoughts on it. I'm sure he'd up for it and take us out to Harvest Spot X.
When do you think would be a good time to go? February tends to be a bit toastie I'm thinking March or April.
Sounds good,
I'll get on it shortly.
Cheers
HF
