This is the KAYAK I would like - the RTM Mambo.

Its not the true angling type that many are using but this one is affordable and you can surf in it as well, meaning I can have fun in it with the kids during the summer.

I have been informed that it is stable, so snorkling from it and getting back on it would be ok. It will be a bit harder to paddle than one with a longer water line but it has to be multi role.

I wish I was fishing from it now!!

Edit: 3/7/07 - I bought an RTM disco in the end

I was looking at mapping options on the internet, trying to find the best one for angling. I didn’t have to look for long until I found this

Loe Bar fishing guide

Its just a search on MSN live search. I use GOOGLE maps on my fishing guide if you look at a listing, click the image, then follow the map link you will see.

MSN have done a better job, although the data is about 2 years old in Cornwall.

The satalite images give you a great idea on where to fish, you can see reefs and gullies. You can also get a lat and long from the URL and plot this into your GPS! volia.

We had very strong winds here in CORNWALL last night. I checked xcweather.com and the wind speed was reported to be 72 MPH.

I would suggest after a good storm like that it could be worth fishing once the sea has calmed a bit.

The above image is the Harbour arm in Porthleven. A good spot for Wrasse, School Bass, Pollock, Flatties and Mackerel in the summer.

Please take care when angling and do not go if there is any risk to your safety. I will do a post on angling safety at some time. Just remember its not worth risking your life for a fish, even a BIG fish. Angling is a HOBBY.
