I have started preparing for next year's big paddle from Auckland to Tauranga with <a href="http://charityyakkers.com/" target="_blank">Charity Yakkers</a>.
Best practice would be to circumnavigate all the major islands around
Auckland this summer. It is amazing, when you set your mind on
something, your capabilities multiply. Just three weeks ago, my kayaking
goal for this summer was to paddle around Rangi. With summer not even
started yet, I have accomplished that and have my mind set on bigger,
more adventurous multidays paddles. </div>

Yesterday was a
beautiful day. I picked my route in such a way that I get a tail wind
for atleast half the way back. Unfortunately, on a multiday trip you
don't get to chose a nice day and weather. So ability to handle any
situation that mother nature throws at you is a must. Now I know I can
do a 40 km paddle with minimum fuss, important thing though is to be
able to do this everyday for 9 days or longer. </div>

Small work ups everywhere. I really enjoy watching Gannets dive. They are the best divers in the whole planet. Amazing that they can dive from the height of 30 meters reaching the speed of 120 km/h as they strike the water surface. Plenty of kahawai caught and some of them put on a nice fight. Snappers were shy but enough caught for dinner.<br />
<br />
Time to try my new fish smoker from 1-Day sales. Pretty cheap material of construction but the design is pretty cool and the flames kept going for 4 hours without the need to top up. Did the job well but next time would keep it little longer to dry the fish little more. <br />

It can be cooked with chicken, beef, lamb or sea food. Basmati rice is
the best rice to use in this dish. This is my version of whole snapper
biryani. I never follow a recipe <img alt=":lol:" src="http://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum/images/smilies/emoticon-0136-giggle.gif" title="Laughing" /> therefore I hope the pictures are self explanatory <img alt=":angel:" src="http://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum/images/smilies/emoticon-0131-angel.gif" title="Angel" />.<br />

A few quick phone calls to work meant that I could take a day off and go
to Kawakawa bay and paddle around the Pakihi island. Fishing was not
really on the menu but I could not resist taking a rod along. Got stock
in the motorway for quite a long time but managed to get to Kawakawa at
about 11am. I saw Kev on the way and I knew when Kev heads home early,
fish are on bite <img alt=":^)" src="http://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum/images/smilies/emoticon-0112-wondering.gif" title="Wondering" /> .<br />
<br />
Started to paddle towards Mccallum bay
where wind direction was most helpful but wind against tide made her
choppy at times. I had no problem cutting through the waves in my razor
sharp mirage <img alt=";)" src="http://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum/images/smilies/emoticon-0105-wink.gif" title="Wink" /> <br />

Fish came in quick succession. First time bagging the limit on Mirage
with 3 more released. I was back at 4 pm, thankfully the traffic was not
as bad as in the morning on the way back <img alt=":y:" src="http://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum/images/smilies/emoticon-0148-yes.gif" title="Yes" /><br />

Day started early, as soon as I launched just
outside the bay I could see a pod of Orcas making their way along the
bay. First time here so decided to head straight out where the boaties
were. Very quiet day on the water. Had a good string puller but did not
attach for some reason. Lost a few more in the early hours. Would it be
the new Barkley jigheads???? <br />
<br />
With no signs on the FF decided to
go near the rocks in 6-10m waters, some activity there but nothing
major. Decided to call it a day with one KY for some mouth burning curry
and a snapper to fry. <br />
<br />
Mint place this Matheson bay, would go back again to catch a big one soon.<br />
<br />
To sum up, a great day off work and a good day on the water.</div>

I knew I
have to do something. 10 days later and here I am with my first ever
sea kayak picked up from TM. Not surprisingly the same model as one
paddled by Andrew Macaulay. This bad boy is versatile and will allow me to cover
a good distance and have ample storage for fishing in mind. <br />
<br />
Boat
needs very little maintenance (could wait for warmer months) and few
bits and peaces to be modified to a trolling killer machine. Looking
forward to try it out on the water sometimes this week. Have no clue
what to expect as this would be first time in a real kayak <img alt=";)" src="http://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum/images/smilies/emoticon-0105-wink.gif" title="Wink" /> for me. So might just take it to mission bay or somewhere for a quick paddle. <br />
<br />
This is my shopping list to get things started. <br />
<br />
-Bilge pump<br />
-Railblaza accessories<br />
-Some kind of flat catch bag or anything to fit on the bow for storage<br />
-looking for ideas for under deck storage<br />
-A catch bag for storing fish<br />
-Anchor and running rig <br />
<br />
Missing anything? <img alt=":?:" src="http://www.kayakfishingnz.com/forum/images/smilies/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif" title="Thinking" /><br />
