    One step over the line . . . to the dark side

    Folks,

    I drove my wife's new Hobie Outback today. Went out in Whitehall Bay for a little perchin and striper trolling. First impressions - hands free fishing is the only way to go, the Outback is very agile, and fast yet still quite stable . . . it is a fishing machine. Also, I was dry - no paddle splash/drip. I probably caught 25% more fish than I would have in my paddle yak and when I was done I wasn't totally knackered. I caught so many perch I stopped counting. On the way back I trolled a couple of lines with buck tails dressed with Fat Sams. I picked up two stripers a 20" and a 16" in rapid succession. It was a good day.

            Terry -

            I'm glad to hear that you got out in the wife's new Hobie. You need to work out a kayak-sharing agreement with here. Good report.

              Upside down - good thing you weren't wearing a dress....
              Terry - you SAY it's your wife's kayak, but I think we will see you in it more. Will she join us fishing?
              Congrats on the new kayak!

                  Three years in the U.K. I guess I picked up a bit of the local vocabulary.

                    It is my wife's kayak but I can use it any time she is not . . . so that's a good deal for me. She is not much for fishing so I don't think she will be joining us. She just likes to peddle around in the kayak from time to time.
