[Fishing Man]

hey guys,

well I finally got my yak,
as you can see its pretty basic at the moment, hopefully that will all change soon. Thanks heaps to everyone on here for helping out with all my questions etc.

Would like to give special mention to dodge, arranging a test paddle and answering my 200 questions, you have been a great help over the past month or so mate.

Also like to thank Bill at Fishing Noosa for the yak itself and all the tips on catching/handling large pelagics offshore.

Without all the help things would have very vague.

anyways heres the pics, hopefully will be able to get into some better fish now, pity the weather ruined this weekend

congratulations Ben, glad to see your happily going to paddle a swing , i think its the best choice for where you are, no doubt about Richo , he certainly goes the extra mile to help, good fishing mate, and like the colour

What a great colour Swing Ben she really looks good mate and any blood won't be as obvious :wink:

Happy to have helped mate its very easy with plenty of time to burn and was a pleasure, and look forward to a fishing trip one day when you are organized.

So many new boats on the forum this past week its amazing

Congrats Ben

 

[Ferret]

Nice looking yak. The colour is good as well. Almost seems a shame to start drilling holes in it. Have fun

Well done Ben, nice choice mate

Look forward to seeing you out on the water sometime.

Lucky its a Perception yak in those colours!.....if it were a Wilderness Systems Tarpon she'd be nicknamed the 'Tampon' for sure :twisted:

I like the colour tho mate just couldnt resist that one.

Well done Ben. You have chosen an excellent all round kayak from offshore work to estuaries and impoundment dams. I love my swing and it's a real pleasure to paddle. You have finally been bitten by the bug and it only gets worse. Top stuff Ben and see you on the water very soon.

good stuff fiahingman. great choice, and I'm sure Bills advice was worthwhile also.

another 'unique' swing colour - I've never seen one in those patterns / colours.

Hmm, I reckon she should be named 'Pink Bits" :shock: :wink:
