Ahh the smell of fresh plastic

[PlasticFantastic]

Well the Stealth has been sold to a happy customer who will use it more for it's intended purpose than I did and the money from the sale didn't even last 24hrs before I handed it over to the guys at Adventure Outlet down the coast who in exchange gave me a nice new Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 in Camo. I ditched the glass because it was awesome to paddle but was overkill for 95% of my fishing and wasn't that comfortable for extended trips. So I did my research and the Tarpon came up trumps as being comfortable, easy to handle and well set up for fishing. Picked it up Friday arvo and over the weekend blooded it with two Tarpon, three Gt's, one Golden Trevally, one Bream and a Catfish to round it off so the mojo had remained with me and wasn't lost in the sale

Cheers

Nice one mate, good luck with the new yak!

[Surfingant]

Great new yak Mark, good to see the mojo is still there

[ONTHECHEW]

At least you got out this weekend, I have had two false starts in two weeks. At least this one you can chuck around a bit more. Still doesn't take away from you becoming a fluff chucker.

nice looking rig mark, out of interest did you compare and research the ocean prowler? i've been having a bit of a window shop lately and wouldn't mind something that could do the creeks river but also had offshore/bay potential.

[PlasticFantastic]

Yeah I did check out the prowler but it's no where near as comfortable and very limited with storage, if push comes to shove the prowler would be the better open water kayak but the tarpon is still able to do offshore work and is supposed to be really good coming in through the surf.

the tarpons are great kayaks! i got the tarpon 100 and its comfy as! and easy to fish in!

Great choice Mark. And by that I mean WS and the fact that you went to Adventure Outlet. Craig and the gang are great. He tried to sell me a 120 when I was getting my superlite-x, I laughed at him and then did exactly what you have done, sold the glass for more plastic. A lot more plastic....every time I walk into that shop it costs me another yak.

[billp]

I'm jealous, it would be unreal if the WS seat could be fitted to the stealths, no more wet arse :pinch: .

A couple of weeks and we should be able to test out the offshore ability, with the wind and rain this week, I don't think the Macks should be to far away, especially with the full moon soon.

Nice lookin new toy Mark, should serve you well. Any chance you can give me some of that fishing mojo? I'm willing to pay cash for it haha

[sunnydays]

Nice looking yak!

Are you going to kit it out with any other gear?

[Keen-as-fisho]

good looking yak mate and what a way to blood it

[PlasticFantastic]

Nice looking yak!

Going to be adding a sounder and putting on the rudder kit when funds allow. Also it's nice not having a wet bum the whole time when fishing, water comes in around the scuppers at your feet but it drains straight out.
