i have been looking at this web site for the last week or so for info on what to get what to look for and what my needs were and most important take it for a test peddle it helped me make my decission because i didnt have a clue what to look for so i thank you for that.

i went out and tested the 2 i was thinking about which were the sports man and the out back and felt most comfortable in the sports so thats what i got

Mik,

Congrats on the new yak..I fish the Minamurra a bit, might see you on the water.

Interested to know how the Hobie fins go on some of the shallow parts of the river.

Cheers

oooohhhh Dude!!!!!......oooohhh Noooo...It's all about to start. The fixation!!...the voices!!! the inexplicable desire to get out onto the water and reel 'em in. The explanations/lies to the wife/girlfriend. The purchase of dozens of lures and stuff that are possibly unneccesary and may never taste salt water. The constant rounding down of prices when the significant other asks "how much was it?"....,"good question!..it was very cheap and I mean very cheap, is a hugely limited model and very special...it is the very model and possibly the very lure used by JFK when he was shagging Ms Monroe......oh and it is usually $1190 per lure considering the pedigre and I craftily picked it up for only only $1...the rest to be used on stuff to buy presents for your family this christmas".

All bollocks of course...just sell the story and blow the rest on lures.
