Looking great, they should attract a bit of attention

Looking really good so far mate

Happy to help you out mate, you know where and how I fish for them. I don’t get out as much as I used to but have helpers these day with my older boys always out there with me

I was dry wreching just watching the video think I will stick the buying them

Well done for giving it a crack, but yuck! the smell must have been disgusting

Lol auto correct that was meant to say zmans not demand

Don’t buy much these days i have a collection of hardbodies from my bream days a collection of poppers and stick baits I still use heavily for YFW and tend to only buy when I lose one or on a work trip to Lincoln where I always buy one when getting advise on what’s biting where have loads of plastics but tend to only buy and use demand and gulp turtlebacks these days would buy turtlebacks every time I go to Kmart (when they have them) or a tackleshop

I’m generally a shimano man with a bit of Diawa and Abu mostly spend $150 to $250 but look for specials my favourite reels are the shimano Stradic but have a couple of Diawas I love when it comes to rods diawa outshine shimano in the pricing I buy to contradict everything about my absolute favourite rod is my little 6 foot bream rod which is a 1-3kg Azusa it is so light but strong

You can get them in lighter versions mate I’ve got some somewhere from when I used to yak fish, 1/32 by memory

Leave it to cure mate and cross your fingers you got it you won’t know till your on the water anyway its not as hard as we make it sound mmmmm I want a yak again

Yeah that valley looks fine mate also agree with the foam I stick my foam down first, then filled with silicone then pushed my transducer into the silicone and put a weight in it till it cured just got to make sure no air bubbles then it will be all good im fairly sure I have some pics of my AI install somewhere, I will try to find them and put them up

Here you go, just got to make sure you squeeze smoothly and push the transducer in smooth and weigh it down while drying so as you don’t get air bubbles air bubbles are the enemy

Buy one of the small tubes of silicone that has the handle built in its what I used on my moken and adventure island, made it very easy

Put up a pic of the bottom of the yak and maybe inside of it flat spot under your seat?

Agree through hull is definitely easier with a yak ive had two through hull set ups and one off a ram arm off the back off my old PA as it was side scan needs to be tight enough not to kick up with swell and waves but loose enough to kick up if you hit something or beach landing have you bought a sounder yet? im thinking about upgrading my Garmin ecomap5 if your interested
