    Kinda curious to see what the ratio of of types of kayaksin out MD/VA area. Almost all of us that travelled to the TKAA tournament were riding Hobies, while not as many Virginians were using Hobies, porportionally compared to us MD guys.

    Do you think the Ocean vs. the Bay and our rivers have any thing to do with the choices? Their waves are bigger and they have a lot more open waters- maybe they have shorter distances to cover to reach prime fishing but bigger ocean-

    I have only had my Outback out once so if I vote it will have to be for my Prowler that I fished out of all year-

      Definitely has something to do with it, but they have pretty long paddles to some of the better spots as well, CBBT.

      One thing I did notice is the back bays were shallow and i hit my drive multiple times. I caught myself saying a few times... I wish i had my coosa, and then I was like nah my arms would get tired haha

        for us, we fish alot of out-of-the-water struture, pilings, docks, ships. its easyer to manuver around with a paddle.
        as for me, i like to paddle!

          i noticed in the parking lot of the tkaa event that nobody had hobies. about 90% of the kayaks were paddle. most of the hobies out there were from the mkf group. couple of us fished cbbt sat, peddled to the first island which wasnt bad at all but, the way back to shore was horrible. i just dont know how you guys do it with paddle yaks in long distances and current. i think i would die..lol
