Nice yak Rick, can't wait to read a few reports from your adventures in her.

Looks like you have a good place to launch her from there too 8)

G'day rik

Lovely boat in Paradise. who could ask for more?

 

[vuki]

How does the Viking pedalling system compare to the hobies? I'm thinking about buying a predator just not sure wether it will be too big.
They are a nice looking yak though.

Congrats Rik
She is a looker.

 

[Guest]

Very nice Rik great looking yak mate. Not a bad view from the back lawn there either!

Have you named her yet?

 

[Dodge]

Looks good Rik, thats the first Predator I've seen thats not granite colour

 

[Magicrik]

No its a great little spot were on here just a shame were renting, And yes ive gave her a name "India"

 

[Magicrik]

Anchor system is gone now ill post more when i rig a new one

 

[milansek]

HI RIK HOWS THAT NEW YAK DO YOU LIKE THE WAY IT HANDLES SEE YA MILAN

 

[Magicrik]

it handles great and i think once i start to get a good paddling tech shes going to fly.
I have only one problem.....the flush mount rod holder set the rod to close to the water and they get very wet

 

[WayneD]

Get some 40mm PVC pipe and extend it upwards a little. Fits in beautifully. I have done this on Dodge's advise but I am yet to trial it. About 200mm of pipe will do the trick. Check out Dodge's espri in the rigged kayaks section.

 

[Magicrik]

hey WayneD its cool ive fixed the problem now.
Ive put the tubing on my Crate.
And ive set up some tubing so i can troll my lures.
Do you guys thing the angles are right?

 

[Magicrik]

Thanks Occy
I was was trying to come up with a way of put some short of measuring tape on the yak and keep up with the idea of eveything beinng totaly removable.

Its a tailors measuring tape with blind cord at one end and bungie cord the other to take up the slack.

Rick, I know you like the removable idea, but I have one of my State's Fishcare Ruler Stickers on my Yak they produce them as 750mm Ruler Sticker with the size regulations of the major species on them. (Ihave cut mine down to 500 mm)

I am sure after checking on a couple of different states websites that they make them for all states. If your state doesn't have them I would be happy to mail you one of the Tassie ones, you might just have to adjust some of the sizes for some species. It's about 75mm wide and 750mm long ans has a white background with blue and black writing.

The offer is open to anyone who wants one.

NSW Fisheries produces such stickers - 90cm, with pics, lengths and bag limits of all regulated species. I have put them on my paddle shafts. Out of the way, no problem sticking and always available. Only problem is I creased them a little when wrapping around the shaft but the measuring edge went on fist so was unaffected. They are wearing so won't last indefinitely.
