ha 1 of the reasons i got the yak was to get some exercise, it will be a few more years before i get the geezer yak
Geezer! I get all my excercise from cranking in all the numbers of big fish that I catch.
Hey, earlier on, I read about that one week rental on that kayak. That is a good deal. I am just boat paranoid. Nothing that an orange flag won't improve. Great deal.
Congrats, the red is nice. Bright colors are best, so the boats can see you. Good luck with those big fish. Trolling will now be easier.
As soon as I can find a deal on a yellow pro angler, I am going to get a Hobie. I'll use the E-volution electric, with the peddles as a back-up and a paddle as a back-up to the back-up. Wow, speaking of redundancy.
Good Luck.
Learned something interesting yesterday while visiting with MOC, Surfdog and TJ at the easton shop. Kevin, the salesman, told us he teaches kayak skills for the YMCA and does shows for OK and old town, he says what boaters see first is your paddle and/or fishing rod flashing, not the boat. Maybe because the boat is low in the water?
He suggest reflective tape on your paddles plus your boat, might even be worth it to wrap some around your fishing rod. Of course a flag/light always helps.
the electric ones, just kidding of course, i was looking in to the torquito to go on the rudder of my revo. going to wait and see what new tec. comes out next year

I am a flag guy. I also carry a small air horn. I'll take any advantage that I can get. The brighter the hull color the better for me. Like I said, I am boat paranoid. Some of the guys at our marina, who have been boat fishing on the South River, have told me that the first thing they see of me is my visapole flag. The visapole also has relective tape. So I know that works. I use all the tricks. The one good thing is that you can hear boats comming from along way off. Advantage, Kayak!
Maryland Kayak Fishing members have been putting a dent in the inventory over there at Easton. Glad to see everyone taking advantage of a great sale, and supporting the local shop! Congrats on the new rides. Cant wait to fish with you all this summer!
Congratulations guys, looks like the hobie fleet is growing substantially this year... I'd say I would be fishing back behind you guys with Wayne, but he books out there. I'll just have to work on batting cleanup and see if I can't catch one of those lethargic lazy fish that prefers slow orange kayaks and way too many fishing rods...
I'll want to see all of these strong running kayaks out there for tropy rock season. Sounds like a deep water plastic navy now. Should be a fun season.
Thanks! Congratz Moc, that red hobie looked good ontop of your truck going over the Narrows. I cant wait to get out and break it in, will be quite a plastic armada this year..
I'm waiting to see how much hobie apparel you guys sport now. The guys in ny had shirts, hats, bags, etc. I'm afraid to peddle one, I was tempted, maybe next year...
