Thanks 😃

Cheers mate 👍 yeah it was a cracking day and great memories 🎣😎

Both taste the same to me mate, I need to BBQ some just to double check 👍😀

Such innovation , well done Wayne 😊😊

@user-pl8gy7mt3d thanks 🙏

It certainly was mate, yeah gutted, it was in fact nearly all my GoPro stuff with some really good fish getting caught as well. But hey ho there’s always next time 🎣👍

He hasn't got as much music as some do . Such a pet hate for me as ruins it . Still enjoyed the video . Some I'm forced to stop . The music drives me nuts 😂

Hi, they are military canteen holders, I store my weights, lures etc in them.

Yeah they’re just great all rounders, he walked up Cat Bells with us yesterday 😀

Cheers mate, yeah he’s settled in nicely 😎

Why not likely mate, it’s there to be used and plus I should have checked it over 🤦‍♂️. 🎣

Cheers mate, looking forward to it 😎👍

Cheers mate, he’s settling in to Waynes world quite well bless him 😂

Hi, yes next time I’m out I’ll put something together 👍

Hi it’s around £130 a year plus an initial small admin fee for the key, the ramp is in the marina which is gated and has 24/7 security it is also well maintained but steep onto hard packed sand at low tide. It can be a bit awkward launching and landing in any swell. Access is good with parking but can get busy with day trippers and school trips etc. They will ask for proof of third party insurance when you apply.

Thanks very much 👍

yeah it certainly doesn't seem high on the agenda!

It’s a Mariner 15hp EFI four stroke 👍

@@TheHopefulAngler ah nice! I've just been getting an Airdeck 310 with a Mariner 6hp 4 stroke. First boat :) Hopefully be able to get out this weekend, still looking for somewhere to launch though. I've put the kayak in on the beach between two piers at Sunderland, but I'm not sure if you're allowed to launch a motor craft there. Maybe I can just paddle out for a bit!

I used to launch the kayak there a lot and there is a sign saying no motorised craft. We aren’t blessed with launch spots in our area! Good luck when you get out 🎣

I’ve fished for rays etc in Scotland from the Kayak but not the SIB yet. I would like to catch Bass I should really go out and target them 👍

@@TheHopefulAngler yea theres a fair few in the north east these days

Definitely have to make a point of trying for them 🤞

There is the yacht club ramp which I’ve seen used at the south end of the beach.

One of the ramps in Sunderland can't be used as there is a swans nest on it. It's all fenced off.

@JamesW81 yeah it is my thoughts are if they cleaned the mess up on a regular basis the swans wouldn’t have any nesting materials and choose another place! I’ve never thought it was well maintained for the money they charged! Apparently it may be getting built on as well.

Hey Cuz 👋 nice to hear from you 😎 They are OK to eat but it all depends on your taste. Some people don’t like eating mackerel but I can’t get enough of them 😋

@@TheHopefulAngler Mackerel are good if absolutely fresh. At least there's no competition for them from your puppy.

🤣 he needs to get over it 🤣

Cheers Davey looking forward to the next trip to Newbiggin, thanks again for your help 👍😎

Champion mate I take it it’s nice and hot ☀️

35c for most of the time! Almost too hot for the shallow fish… they head off to deeper water! 😅

A lot going for it I’m looking forward to more trips 👍😎

Hello mate thanks that’s really appreciated 🙏. I still have a Galaxy Cruz which I might go out on again at some point but I moved away from Kayak fishing due to an injury which makes lifting a YAK onto roofs bars near impossible. You’re right YAKS can be simple if you steer away from carrying to much gear ( which I was always guilty of 🤣). SIB’s do come with their own set of challenges, ie they can be heavy, the inflating/deflating I found tedious, maybe because mine has a separate air deck that needs to be positioned just right, but that said once you’re out on the water in a SIB you can cover a lot of ground effortlessly, re drifting areas is quick and not tiring like padding back against the tide, plus they’re a lot of fun 😅. I certainly haven’t looked back😎

Hi it was 3mm I’ll try and measure the rest when I can to the garage 👍

They are fine on concrete or hard sand but no good on soft sand.

@TheHopefulAngler yeah mine snapped pulling outboard wondering witch ones will be strongest for what I need for pal

@Mark-ej3yf these are on my wish list www.seamaxmarine.com/collections/launching-wheels

@TheHopefulAngler I have been looking at these alot of people are recommending them .might have to get them pal out this weekend new sib doesn't have wheels atm I been debating if I should fit some or not looked at launch trailers aswell but don't know how much of a faf that would be setting up and down

I’ve looked at all sorts of options I think the seamax wheels could be the solution, just need some pennies 🤣

Bad day at sea because of the engine problem, you can see this if you watch the whole video

Hi the wheels are QuikLok transom wheels, the transducer mount I made myself

Not particularly far, a lot of the good fishing is quite close in where I go 👍

The boat can handle a bit of sea but I try and go out in the best conditions I can, I’ve fished in poor conditions many times but to be honest I prefer to be comfortable these days 😎

5 chambers, I love the boat it does everything I want. Weaker transom I’m not sure what you mean? Open bow is fine at sea, it’s a very dry ride as well 👍

Hi Thanks👍. I use a GoPro hero 5 black edition, which was on a chest harness in this video, I was also using an Insta 360 X3. For editing software I'm using NCH Video Pad Editor.

@@TheHopefulAngler Thanks so much for the mega quick reply, I fish from a Rib down in the Southwest of Devon & hope to start making a few videos. Tight lines

No problem, I’ll look out for them good luck 👍

Thanks no problem they’re all doing fine 👍

Thanks Davey 😀👍

Cheers mate, yeah hopefully soon🤞 The 360 is amazing mate I’m only just touching the surface of what you can do 😎

It certainly was mate, I can’t wait until next time 😎🎣

Thanks, it’s certainly worth it👍

Thanks, tbh it was working fine but I just don’t feel fully happy after the issues I’ve had !

@@TheHopefulAngler i heard good things about them to but the Mercury EFIs look very nice.

If I changed it I’d try a 15hp but not a Suzuki 🤣

Hi 👋 Yeah no problem at all, it’s a 3mm aluminium plate all I did was cut it to size so it fitted over the four transom wheel bolts with a piece left lower down for the transducer to be mounted on then drilled four holes to line up with the bolts and the transom wheel then holds it in place. I found that it need a few trips out to get the exact depth position of the transducer, I suppose this is dependent on weight distribution and the size of the transducer. I’m sure the idea can be tweaked to suit different needs. The trailer was built by my father in law and is basically a box section steel frame with a marine ply floor which suits the cat hull perfectly 👍

Thanks 🙂
