  1. Towing behind a kayak

    I quite often do an overnighter on my kayak (hobie outback, 180kg capacity). I have no trouble getting a minimal camping kit in the hull with fishing gear and esky. Still come in well under the max weight even with all my pie, kfc and bourbon weight added in.  hiking camping gear is great for this, compact and lightweight and there’s actually a surprising amount of space inside the hull.

     

    I have towed a second kayak from time to time - sometimes with crab pots on it and sometimes with my partner when she gets bored with paddling. The drag isn’t a huge issue when it’s light but if you load it up it really slows you down - especially into the current.

    ive always been concerned about the added stress it might put on my mirage drive by towing my wife...im guessing its not actually that bad by the sounds of it then?

  9. Kingfish lures?

    id imagine the biggest problem you'd run into using small lures is casting distance. Not sure where you are fishing exactly, but land based restricts where you can fish, so casting distance is a tool you can use to cover more ground. Having said that i know of blokes who get them just using smalish plastics. 

    @samsteele115 have you ever specifically targeted them landbased? i know a few members used to get small ones land based from straddy on the rocks and even where the barges used to dock

    Technically anything with nerves and a Conscious can feel pain . I think people tend to think the smaller the fish the less live/living/complex the fish is which isn’t really true . Different speices of fish are more sensitive to feel then others some also have higher IQ and memory it really depents on a lot of things including the nervous system which is responsible for senses and the brain for consciousness. Recent evidence has shown some plants even have a nervous system and can feel pain 

    I would love for science to prove that plants feel pain...how would a vegan react to that.

    Do you keep the sharks? I caught a few when I was younger and always dreaded cleaning them. The smell inside was awful.

    I’ve eaten a few but not anymore. Nothing against the taste, just prefer to let them go. You need to bleed them correctly to get rid of that smell
