Matt Watson Reviews the Bixpy Jet Motor

Matt Watson's review of the Bixpy as below was taken from his full video called Kayak Fishing Review - we will leave a link to that full video at the end of this review. 

Motors on kayaks aren’t anything new but what’s been holding people back is short battery life and that they can be difficult to mount, well no longer thanks to this clever system that is revolutionizing the concept of kayak fishing.

Bixpy solves that problem by bolting directly to your rudder blade, the small football size and… more

Kingfish off the Profish Reload

Getting out on the water feels primal. I’m only a year into kayak fishing and with every journey out into the ocean I grow a deeper understanding and a connection to its powerful life force. Just like me, the inhabitants of the ocean are all looking for their next meal. Using the food chain to target the Mighty King has seen some good mid-morning catches this March.
Up until recently I hadn’t exclusively fished my local spots for Kingfish using live bait. Over the summer I pulled one into the yak from the… more

Catching Longtail Tuna

Trip report from sales manager Jason - First Longtail Tuna from the kayak – After many hours on the water last season trying to land a Northern Bluefin (Longtail Tuna) with no success I finally landed one this season.

Exploring the concept of kayak fishing using a trailer boat as a mothership

This was a test run to… more

Cove to Cape "The one that got away! "

When ask for a trip report from Cove to Cape Stephens reply was breif --"The only story I have is a fisherman's one..."
The wind on day one (30knots gusting 40) kept us from executing "Plan-A" so we headed off to our reserve location. Here the wind can make for hard work but there are more safety options if something unexpected happens. Fishing was initially slow but not without opportunities, and unfortunately I can claim the classic "one that got away" wooden spoon award...
On the sounder I saw a beautiful arch… more

Coromandel trip report with "Milkey"

"Haku gets a new owner"
I sold my Profish 440 named “Haku” to my mate John from Hamilton. It took a long 6 months before we got the chance to get out and for him to catch his first fish off the kayak. So we headed to the Coromandel Peninsula and by mid-morning he had 2 pannies in the back and he was having a ball in the near glass like conditions.

We were having some technical difficulties with his fishfinder so decided to turn it off and use my Lowrance on my kayak to put him onto fish. And fish there… more
