Hi thanks 👍 I have 4x4 pick up, on this trip I drove the SIB on its trailer down to the waters edge then parked up in the main carpark. Are you talking about the bollards at the bottom of the footpath that leads down from the carpark?

@@TheHopefulAngler yeah thats the one - as beadnell is grand to unpack the sib, inflate and wheel down. Didn't seem possible here - or many other places locally

If you head back out of the carpark and turn immediately left you can drive down the bank and set up at the side of the road opposite the play park then take your car back up to the carpark. However it’s a nightmare to get over the soft sand with transom wheels

@@TheHopefulAngler champion cheers marra, looking forward to the next vid! Hopefully some good cod kicking about after this spell of strong northerlies

No problem, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for an opportunity to get out 🎣👍

Hi, it’s a Standard Horizon HX270E. I’ve used it for a long time now I got it back in my kayak fishing days 👍

@@TheHopefulAngler thanks for that 👍

It’s the way forward 😋

Cheers Davey, aye it was a cracking day mate 😎🎣

🤣 cheers mate, yeah it can’t come soon enough

Thanks it certainly was a day to remember 🎣 Yes that would be great 😎👍

She’s already ate it 😃👍🎣

It was mate definitely one for the memory bank 🎣😎

@@TheHopefulAngler That's what TH-cam is for!! 😎

Aye 🎣👍

Cheers mate 😎🎣

Cheers mate, yeah we were definitely lucky. Hopefully our planets will align again soon and we can get out together again 🤞🎣😎

Fingers crossed for next time 🤞🎣

🤣 we were very lucky

Thanks 😃

Cheers mate 👍 yeah it was a cracking day and great memories 🎣😎

Both taste the same to me mate, I need to BBQ some just to double check 👍😀

Such innovation , well done Wayne 😊😊

@user-pl8gy7mt3d thanks 🙏

It certainly was mate, yeah gutted, it was in fact nearly all my GoPro stuff with some really good fish getting caught as well. But hey ho there’s always next time 🎣👍

He hasn't got as much music as some do . Such a pet hate for me as ruins it . Still enjoyed the video . Some I'm forced to stop . The music drives me nuts 😂

Hi, they are military canteen holders, I store my weights, lures etc in them.

Yeah they’re just great all rounders, he walked up Cat Bells with us yesterday 😀

Cheers mate, yeah he’s settled in nicely 😎

Why not likely mate, it’s there to be used and plus I should have checked it over 🤦‍♂️. 🎣

Cheers mate, looking forward to it 😎👍

Cheers mate, he’s settling in to Waynes world quite well bless him 😂

Hi, yes next time I’m out I’ll put something together 👍

Hi it’s around £130 a year plus an initial small admin fee for the key, the ramp is in the marina which is gated and has 24/7 security it is also well maintained but steep onto hard packed sand at low tide. It can be a bit awkward launching and landing in any swell. Access is good with parking but can get busy with day trippers and school trips etc. They will ask for proof of third party insurance when you apply.

Thanks very much 👍

yeah it certainly doesn't seem high on the agenda!

It’s a Mariner 15hp EFI four stroke 👍

@@TheHopefulAngler ah nice! I've just been getting an Airdeck 310 with a Mariner 6hp 4 stroke. First boat :) Hopefully be able to get out this weekend, still looking for somewhere to launch though. I've put the kayak in on the beach between two piers at Sunderland, but I'm not sure if you're allowed to launch a motor craft there. Maybe I can just paddle out for a bit!

I used to launch the kayak there a lot and there is a sign saying no motorised craft. We aren’t blessed with launch spots in our area! Good luck when you get out 🎣

I’ve fished for rays etc in Scotland from the Kayak but not the SIB yet. I would like to catch Bass I should really go out and target them 👍

@@TheHopefulAngler yea theres a fair few in the north east these days

Definitely have to make a point of trying for them 🤞

There is the yacht club ramp which I’ve seen used at the south end of the beach.

One of the ramps in Sunderland can't be used as there is a swans nest on it. It's all fenced off.

@JamesW81 yeah it is my thoughts are if they cleaned the mess up on a regular basis the swans wouldn’t have any nesting materials and choose another place! I’ve never thought it was well maintained for the money they charged! Apparently it may be getting built on as well.

Hey Cuz 👋 nice to hear from you 😎 They are OK to eat but it all depends on your taste. Some people don’t like eating mackerel but I can’t get enough of them 😋

@@TheHopefulAngler Mackerel are good if absolutely fresh. At least there's no competition for them from your puppy.

🤣 he needs to get over it 🤣

Cheers Davey looking forward to the next trip to Newbiggin, thanks again for your help 👍😎

Champion mate I take it it’s nice and hot ☀️

35c for most of the time! Almost too hot for the shallow fish… they head off to deeper water! 😅

A lot going for it I’m looking forward to more trips 👍😎

Hello mate thanks that’s really appreciated 🙏. I still have a Galaxy Cruz which I might go out on again at some point but I moved away from Kayak fishing due to an injury which makes lifting a YAK onto roofs bars near impossible. You’re right YAKS can be simple if you steer away from carrying to much gear ( which I was always guilty of 🤣). SIB’s do come with their own set of challenges, ie they can be heavy, the inflating/deflating I found tedious, maybe because mine has a separate air deck that needs to be positioned just right, but that said once you’re out on the water in a SIB you can cover a lot of ground effortlessly, re drifting areas is quick and not tiring like padding back against the tide, plus they’re a lot of fun 😅. I certainly haven’t looked back😎

Hi it was 3mm I’ll try and measure the rest when I can to the garage 👍

They are fine on concrete or hard sand but no good on soft sand.

@TheHopefulAngler yeah mine snapped pulling outboard wondering witch ones will be strongest for what I need for pal

@Mark-ej3yf these are on my wish list www.seamaxmarine.com/collections/launching-wheels

@TheHopefulAngler I have been looking at these alot of people are recommending them .might have to get them pal out this weekend new sib doesn't have wheels atm I been debating if I should fit some or not looked at launch trailers aswell but don't know how much of a faf that would be setting up and down

I’ve looked at all sorts of options I think the seamax wheels could be the solution, just need some pennies 🤣

Bad day at sea because of the engine problem, you can see this if you watch the whole video

Hi the wheels are QuikLok transom wheels, the transducer mount I made myself
