Am I dreamin?

Welcome to the forum Ian and well done on considering yak fishing I cannot imagine the difficulties you have to meet in life and you have my admiration.

Some months ago billybob told of a bloke in similar circumstances, the link follows, and I would suggest if you PM Bill he may be able to put you in touch with his mate who would better be able to answer your questions re yak fishing being in the same situation

Ian, welcome to the forum mate.

Red, awesome links you are a champion.

Catch ya Scott

Welcome Ian.

Red and Dodge look to have done a great job getting you started.

Look forward to reading of your progress and seeing your fish pics.

G'day Ian, Good luck getting out there, I hope it works out for you. Love to see some reports of big fish from you down the track.
Red, you're a champion m8. 8)

Agree with Scott's comments, to date I have regarded LizardWizard as a human google but you may have surpassed him with that effort, I'll ignite his performance after this one :lol: :lol: :lol:

G'day Ian,

Welcome aboard mate. Others have said it all before me with some outstanding links.

I am sure the Melbourne Crew will look after you

If we could get two or three of the melb boys together,there has to be someone with two yaks.
Pop down near your way in the Werribee river and we could have a play to see how it goes, bloody cold though.

If we can't get a kind soul to help with a second yak perhaps i can try to get hold of a lender from somewhere :wink:

For the life of me i can't see a worry with paddling a yak , it's the on and off the car bit thats the conundrum, although a blow up yak may solve that one.

Good on you Ian, I reckon you'll be able to work out a way to do it mate.

Just one thought I had that might make your life easier was that you could maybe get a very light trailer to put your kayak on.

That way it would be closer to the level you would be at naturally when you are in your chair. Could also add rollers to further assist if needed.

Would also mean that do similar to what boatey's do when they launch from boat ramps & drop the kayak right at the water's edge where you have car access.

Just a thought...hope you work something out that works for you. I'm sure some of the forum guys down at Melbourne would be happy to help out to get you started off.

PeterJ,
Thank thats exactly what I was wishing for. Its too bloody cold just now.
I would still like to catch up and just talk over the issues with some like minded souls and keep up my motivation levels. If you are ever anywhere near Werribee let me know. In the meantime bring on Summer.

Ian

Ian , i reckon we can work something out in the next couple of weeks for a catch up. Once i get settled in my new job a bit.

QUEENSLANDER!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Red, I don't think I have that much ice in my freezer!
It does get cold up here though. The other day I got up and went outside to watch the sunrise from the veranda and thought "geez its cool, I might have to put a shirt on!" :lol:
