      @Giles what's the action on that lure? I see no lip so it doesn't dive, it is a sinking erratic swimmer with an open mouth that leaves a trail of bubbles as you reel?

      if you have a link to it i'd like to look into it.

          I use a similar "walk the dog" lure called a Spook. It works best on calm water in the early morning and evening for bass, and in the middle of the day on choppy waters for Northern.

          I'll add a Patchinko to my arsenal and see what i can catch

              Nice fish! Is that a shimano stradic?

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                It is.  It's a Stradic C3000 FL - Good eye….

                I have this inbound from Japan at the moment....

                Stradic SW 4000XG

                  Thanks. I have an old stradic 1000 for Freshwater that is solid as a rock. Smooth and pretty bulletproof. I abuse it TBH. You’re gonna love that 4000.

                  Just picked this up for kayak trolling for striped bass. It’s a Avet SX G2

                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                    I have a few Avets, I used to rep them in UK  😉

                      That’s awesome. I’m sure you have a “few”

                      I just installed this in the yak. I’m awful laissez faire about drilling holes in my boat.  😃

                            I've cancelled the Kayak.  My mate Rob who I normally fish with was going to get one too.  His girlfriend just found out she was pregnant, so Rob has other things to spend his money on (cots, prams etc, poor sod), so his Kayak is on hold.  I dont want to start Kayaking solo, so I have delayed buying the Kayak (got a full refund as it had not shipped).  I am sure it'll happen, just not as soon as I thought.

                            Anyone need a top of the range fish-finder  😃 😃 😃 😃 ?

                                  Ah ok. Life can change in an instant. Glad to hear you got a full refund. I think congratulations are in order for Rob and his girlfriend.
                                  Can't say I need a rangefinder at the moment, but good luck on finding a buyer.

                                    Took my 17 year old out the other day… couple of mackerel and a cod.... the mackerel got fried for supper.

                                        Thank you, although that only counts as an ok one. I'd guesstimate 6kg. 10kg is when it's getting good.
