It has been several years since I've kayak fished OI and boy did it feel good to be back. Prior to the Hobie Outback I fished with a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100. My 2020 Outback has been sitting for a little over a month since I had it delivered. You bet your butt the anticipation for this trip was out of the roof. The first day we worked the flats, grass beds, and the new bridge and ended up with keeper Trout and Sheeps. Live sand fleas were plenty, just had to dig for them in the surf. Second and third way we did a little bit of exploration in search of deep creeks and docks, although the grass bed we encountered along the way were productive. Most of my trout were caught trolling with an occasional red mixed in. A buddy of mine prob caught over a dozen lizard fish but thats because he was mainly using gulps. It felt really good to be on a peddle kayak, especially in that area where wind and conditions could change on the fly. Biggest trout was just under 18" and biggest sheep was about 14". Other catches included short flounders, reds, and whiting. I am 100% satisfied with the investment and am already looking forward to my next trip. Outside of WD-40, how do you guys care for the mirage drive after outings?
Would love to fish Kipto and Cape Henlopen within the next couple of months.
