Getting into kayak fishing!

Post by **TheFishstick** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 11:25 am

Hey guys,

So I finally pulled the trigger on a Hobie Pro Angler from Jenda. Bought the last one they had in stock. I've been eyeing them since they first came out in 2009. Just couldn't resist anymore! Bought a pickup truck over the winter so transporing it is no longer an issue for me (I used to drive a sunfire lol). Can't wait to get out there now. I'll be picking it up shortly. Figure I'll get out there for some spring panfishing on the rideau or some channel cats on the ottawa for its maiden voyage. Can't wait for the summer now. I keep thinking of all the diffrent places I'll be able to access with a kayak!

Anyone been out kayak fishing yet this year? Hopefully be able to meet up with a few other kayak angerls for some fishing outtings this year.

-Eric

I've been out only to test the turbo fins and sailing rudder... hope to get out tomorrow though for a fish.

Make sure Jason throws you the new drum for the steering on your PA. You'll turn alot sharper with it

Kayak is home! Went and picked it up from Jenda last night. Can't wait to get it out on the water now. I'm hoping to get out on saturday. Either go chase channel cats on the South Nation or go chase panfish on the Rideau.

Don:

Thanks for the heads up about the steering drum. I asked Jason about it and since its a 2010 boat is apparently came installed straight from Hobie.
