Tide Lines Martin's fishing blog: November 2014
http://martingt66.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 November 2014. Catch of the day. It's been 6 months since our wedding so we had a look through the pictures again today. I took my rod with me for the weekend as you do when visiting an island and quite rightly took pelters for it. When we had a few pictures taken at the beach it was an ideal opportunity to get it out. We had a fantastic day and cracked it with the weather after a wet start. Wednesday, 26 November 2014. Bowing out on a blank. Saves me doing it when I get home. My uncle, John K...

Tide Lines Martin's fishing blog: Not long now
http://martingt66.blogspot.com/2015/07/not-long-now.html
Wednesday, 8 July 2015. Our trip to the Ebro was booked about 10 months ago. I've just really started to think about it this week and the hype is starting to creep in. Having been in the garage sorting gear out. Established that I have pretty much what I need, probably too much. They're will still be the odd purchase I dare say. A definite will be sun protection as it’s between 34-40 Celsius at the minute….ooof! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. UK species I've caught.

Saltwater kayak fisherman: DIY Hatch Liner / Gear Bag
http://www.saltwaterkayakfisherman.com/2013/01/diy-hatch-liner-gear-bag.html
DIY Hatch Liner / Gear Bag. The only real solution I could find was to insert a collapsible ground bait bowl. Into the hull. I originally tried to insert the large version (32cm) of the Daiwa Airity bowl into through the centre 8” hatch. I managed to break the re-enforcing hoop in the process, perhaps if I’d inserted it via the front hatch that might not have happened! To neaten the job up and to provide an even sealing surface when re-fitting the bag, I added a ring of neoprene to the top of the bag.

Saltwater kayak fisherman: Shimano Charter Special 1000 LD – Overhaul
http://www.saltwaterkayakfisherman.com/2010/12/shimano-charter-special-1000-ld-service.html
Shimano Charter Special 1000 LD – Overhaul. I’ve been absolutely itching to get out and wet a line as of late, though due to a combination of work and bad weather it just hasn’t happened. That said, I hope to hit the water within the week, fingers crossed. The original washer is a canvas type washer, though the fibre washer from a Penn HT-100 (part no. 6-5600) is virtually a direct replacement. I purchased a few of these washers from Mikes Reel Repair. The schematic for this reel can be found here. The f...

Saltwater kayak fisherman: April 2015

DIY – Hobie AI Trailer. It’s not so long ago since I put the finishing touches to the latest incarnation of my kayak trailer. Since I wrote that article I’ve extended the drawbar by a metre which basically made it ideal for my Adventure Island. I’m still awaiting the Hobie AI cradles, hopefully they’ll be here in the next month or so. Though in the mean time I placed some 110mm waste pipe on the bottom slot which permits both the Outback. It really is as simple as that! The trailer is rated at 750kg gros...

Saltwater kayak fisherman: August 2015
http://www.saltwaterkayakfisherman.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Rigging the 2015 Hobie Outback and Adventure Island for Structure Scan. I’ve fitted the Lowrance HDS 7 Gen 3. Onto my 2015 Outback and it came with a Structure Scan transducer. Structure Scan combines down scan imaging and side scan imaging. It’s certainly great technology to have on a kayak, some would say an overkill, but I’m really enjoying having such enhanced capability on the kayak. Here’s the result followed by an explanation of how I did it. The biggest issue was getting a lockable hinged joint t...

Saltwater kayak fisherman: Kayak Livewell & Dry Box (Part 2)
http://www.saltwaterkayakfisherman.com/2010/04/kayak-livewell-dry-box-part-2.html
Kayak Livewell and Dry Box (Part 2). In part 1 I covered the basic construction of my dual purpose kayak dry box/livewell. The were certain features that I wished to have with regards to the livewell, these were as follows:. Dual water level to cater to different sized bait. Internal aerator pump to minimise noise. Easy pump priming when afloat. On/off switch to be easily reachable. Alternative power source if required. External battery charging point. Ability to drain the tank when afloat. The question ...

Saltwater kayak fisherman: What cooler bag?
http://www.saltwaterkayakfisherman.com/2015/08/what-cooler-bag.html
On the Big Game I had a Flambeau marine box behind me which was ideal for storing frozen bait wrapped in paper with a couple of ice blocks. I could keep bait from for many hours, often bringing it home and straight back into the freezer. I’ve yet to find a good solution for the Hobie’s as the tankwell area is smaller and wont accommodate the dry box. And flambeau. As both the Outback. That raised the question of which cooler bag? I also decided to pick up a Grauvell cooler bag (15Litre - 30x20x22cm)....

Saltwater kayak fisherman: Hobie Mirage Outback – Initial review
http://www.saltwaterkayakfisherman.com/2012/10/hobie-mirage-outback-initial-review.html
Hobie Mirage Outback – Initial review. It’s been approximately five years since I purchased my first fishing kayak, an Ocean Prowler Big Game. Some time ago I took an interest in Hobie kayaks, I found the idea of the Mirage Drive. Quite fascinating. The Adventure. Model initially appealed to me, though I really wanted maximum stability so I soon found myself looking at the Outback. Here are the basic specifications of the Hobie Outback, I believe the one I have is the 2010 model. As mentioned earlier the...
