And all the fish:thumbsup:

The second time it went out real fast, had to hold it back a bit to clip on the baits, I think I am just not letting it go far enough out cos I dont have any grunty long...

Absoulutly nothin on the first set.all the baits gone.
Crabs?
Got it out fasterand a little further this set.
The guy down the beach got a couple car y but he must be at least a k out.

The beach I will use if the wind comes back in the right direction is very low gradient, a couple of km out is only 8m deep. If the wind is off shore there is no breakers.

Thats my son doin whatever 7 year olds boys do at the beach :D

Well had a catch up with pengy and a few beers for a trial run.
Proved the concept. With the offset bridal it actually steers accross the wind quite well...much better than expected and handles...

I hope to prove you wrong lol.
Off shore wind means bugger all waves generally and other than weight I don't think the ply would be any different to plastic or whatever as a sail.

Interesting. Will have to have a look.

No... got a photo?

Ok I sort of thought the line itself and 25 baits would be heaps of drag..... never done this before so just wingin it :thumbsup:

Will do a test run tomorrow evening.....watch the seas go mirror...

Yea I did wonder if that may be a problem.....hopefully the tension pulling the line at water level from the rear of the skids will keep it mostly upright?

May have to add some buoyancy yet too.

Yea na thats were it will end up if I lose it from Rabbit! When the wind blows from the east the fish bite the least, sort of rules out the bank.

Ideas on how to integrate this into this design? thought of making basically a picture frame the same size of light wood and stapling some plastic sheet to it but didnt have any light wood so went...

Yea kite could work but I would have to buy one or 5 till I work out how and how not to use it.
At least if I lose this it is zero dollars and will wash up on the boulder bank where it will be...

Yep I was more worried about not gettin the bugger out :oh noes:

Goin with the slight cross wind off the beach if i set on a outgoing tide i recon i will get it out near 90 deg from the beach.

I off set the clip on the bridal to try and steer it into the wind a...

Will that rolling hitch on the lolly work? And if not suggestions please.
Dairys no longer sell barly sugars or lifesavers apparently so went with a generic presumably made in china lolly.
