Hi, thanks for ideas/inspiration/help etc.

I am joining the ranks of fizz-boat fishers for the next year or so

(Bob is now under comand of another form member. )

Call in for a coffee if you see me anchored up!

Cheers,
Gordon

It's me me me! Read about it in What I got for father's day.
 
Been looking around for a second-hand welly-based fishing yak for several months and Bob fitted the bill to a tee. Ironically, I had hoped to go yak fishing with nodrog & slab at some stage but now looks like he will be leaving me in the wake of his fizz boat. 
 
Thanks nodrog for all the freebies that came with Bob and like I said, you are most welcome to borrow him anytime.

Nodrog, whatcha doin manWacko. You need to see a doctor bout that before you're completely turnedLOL. Don't let them aliens control your body man, fight back, com'on you can do it, snap out of it.Wink
 
All the best with your new fizz boat.
The solution to any problem - work, money, love, whatever - is to go fishing - the worse the problem the longer the fishing trip should be.

Hi smudge, I've got a 13'6 sea nymph, just a big yak really, with a windscreen. Old school but mint was my dads ride to the delta from tokaanu. new 4-stroke 25 and 4hp paddles on the back. Have spent a couple of weekends playing (8 years out of practice) and doing it up (multiple scotties, humminbird M70, pink shagpile etc). Can anyone help me source a 12V stainless espresso machine?

Rodderst - i'll still be doing the inshore bit as that�s my favourite, i just hope the slopping hull doesn't scare them in the shallows... also engine is fast enough to get me into a load of trouble out wide, but hull not big enough to get me out of it!

NM - long term plan is a touring sea yak - fish equipped of course (there are times when only a yak will do!). Will take a year at least, working on minor problems like money, lack of a beard, and ass way too big to fit into one anyway. Meantime I�ll do the boat-ramp thing, get my old man into some real fish over the summer, might even get the wife out (when it needs a good clean, of course) oh � and rent a yak from time to time, between fergs and dive-spot I�ll be fine for the odd yak-comp just to keep my hand in

Best of luck out on the water sooshie

I can see the upside to all this, I was looking at Steve Tapp's motorised yak in the Fishing News and thought "Why bother?". Five bucks will get me a tow line to fix to your transom...sweeeeet.

Congrats - if it's like my boat you will have a blast.  Mine is a  Sea Nymph "Sprite".  Goes hard.  Had a few fuse problems, but that is about all.  Best thing I EVER did was put a new prop and permatrim on.  The permatrim made it a new boat, and it planes better and handles rough a billion times better.  Feel safer to go further out now.

Got a pic of the boat??  Love to see it.!

Hi Kohi,

I am VERY pleased to here your permatrim is worthwhile - I just ordered one this week, will arrive monday - and I was kind of wondering if I have done the right thing..

Will do a post in a boat forum when i find my way around that
