Boat Launching Procedures

So here it is.

I just bought a new boat and decided to take 'er for the maiden voyage this past weekend.

This is my first boat and I wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but I figured it couldn't be too hard.

I consulted my local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat".

What am I doing wrong?
Well, I don't know what they meant by that as I could barely get the trailer in the water at all!

Anyhow, here's a picture below. See for yourself. What am I doing wrong?

Wow this is finally a dream come true for me, I have always wondered about having a plastic fishingski. This is just like a kayak but only better if it can be more like a fishingski. I just hope they can get it to work.

Sprat Spoon

The Sprat Spoon is used to target Queen Mackerel, B0nito, Dorado and in the Surf to target Shad and a variety of Kingfish. With a length of 50mm, this spoon exactly resembles the size of the Spratfish and with it's 3D eyes and holographic shine is easily mistaken for the real deal. Popular with Deep Sea, Surf and estuary anglers. The spoon is flat on one side and rounded on the other side to give it a wounded baitfish action. The Spratfish is fitted with a split ring and 1/0 hook.

Mayday Mayhem - Saily off Umhlanga

The launch was super easy and I put out two strip baits and set off for the barge - in the wake of about another 12 kayaks or so! With about 300m left to paddle i picked up a beaut of a bonnie, about the size of a big mackerel - and quickly got him onto a circle hook trace. I got my yozurri ready and paddled over the wreck, picking up 2 nice mackerels straight a way - I put one in the hatch and the other onto a nylon trace (0.75mm with 6O Diachi lead hook and a small VMC treble). With two baits in the water I started tracking up and down the wreck, and noticed there was quite a lot of surface action about 100m north of the wreck, so I headed out there - almost straight away my bonnie went away, I paddled a few strokes, picked up the rod, and the fish was off...

Catching a wave back to the beach.

This is a short video clip of me catching a wave back to the beach after being out fishing on my fishingski.

Pinnacle Fishing Ski

(Pinnacle gives you the best chance of making it safely back to shore, through our optimum design. As you can only paddle one boat at a time, the Pinnacle handles all sea and weather conditions, allowing the paddler to focus less on paddling and more on fishing.

Suitable for advanced and novice paddlers, of all shapes and sizes. All our ski’s and accessories are of the highest quality – from our boats, life jackets to paddles etc.)

Well that is what they say on the site!! I have never tested this boat but next time I am down in durban I will see if I can give it a bash, sounds like a very good boat, but the skill of catching fish is still up to the angler. Keep thoes reels screeming until next time.

Pinnacle Fishing Ski

There has been lots of moving and shaking in the fishingski arena, lots of new boats and websites. I am going to get this ball rolling again.

Fishingcorner rocks

Fishingcorner rocks

I found the great fishing site about a month ago, it is called fishingcorner it rocks. It is very well updated and really gets the fishing community involved. It has GPS marks for fishing spots (you need to be a member) and a really cool forum with lots of banter going around. It is also good for the ski boater, spear fisherman and the fishingski fisherman. Go and check it out, I love it.

Ifafa beach

There are no logical spots to launch at Ifafa beach because of the extensive in shore reef. However the beach north of it, namely baizly is launchable (sometimes). Paddle south towards Ifafa. There is reef everywhere, pull a snoek bait as you head south as the snoek can pull in in great numbers. Further out there are couta, kingies and a host of other game fish to be had. There is some good bottom fishing to be had just off the back line.
