Nice rig Slab's!

If I can work out how to send a picture from my phone to my email i'll post a copy of my sit-on.

I like your sea anchor. I was going to try one of those colapsable canvas buckets, but your idea looks a winner.

Hi ol slabs

Very nice setup how do you go casting? im interesed in the accuracy of it as being in sitting position with you legs forward would be make casting a little different.

Very nice setup. How far do you go ?

Cheers

Ps Makes for a very good option for thoes who can afford a fully decked out hornet.

hey Slab's, what brand is your sounder and where did you mount the transducer?

Mine is an Eagle and currently I have the transducer poking through one of the scupper holes, however I want to glue it to the bottom of the inside of the hull but no-one can tell me if it will affect the sonar?????

Thanks for the replies guys

Some days I just throw it in the water at the end of the street and start fishin & other days I'll do a bit of an epic, depends how much time I have...
It's stable as, ya get pulled around by bigger fish, had some rather large flathead on, but that just adds to the rush...
The sounder is a lowrance (same as Eagle)& the transducer is mounted by suction cup at the front (ya can kinda see it in the pic)...
I reckon a hornet would still come in handy (don't think I can get the minnow on the plane with a full livewell & its a bit short )

I'll get some more detailled pics up soon

Lowrance give details of "through hull" transducer installations on their web site. I undersatnd Lowrance make Eagle sounders, so it should be OK.

Thats a real nice looking set up there for sure.Well done

[Sandworm]

I dont know about you guys but do you find 2 rods two many?

when i'm spinning or soft plastic fishing one rod is all i need.

I'll send a photo of my perception Arcadia

I have a similar set up but the rod holder at the back, so i dont get water on it when i paddle and troll the splastics when moving.

She looks the part though well done!

P.S what are these depth finders worth? i want one but havn't found any i want yet.

(i also use my kayak to bait drop when shark fishing from land - not in the kayak )

I'm dumb but not that dumb!!!

Hey Slab, I liked the look of your minnow so much I went out and bought one today.

Not exactly new but got a great deal on a double minnow out of the paper.

Now I have a sit-in and a sit-on how lucky am I?

I'll also post some piccies if I can just work out this damn camera!!

[bparker]

One quick question Slab.

With the Minnow, the cockpit is pretty large so having the rod holders at the front mean that you would probably need to stretch a fair bit to reach them (or have you moved the seat towards the front).

Any problems in this regard ?

[Ol' slab sides]

I usually rig one rod SP & the other HB or one deep diver & the other shallow, guess I've got used to havin two rods ready to go...

When I'm trollin I like the rods in front so I can see if the lures workin or weeded up, I wash & oil my reels after every sesh anyhow, but they do get soaked...
