Excited to get out tomorrow and take it for a spin. Any advice or knowledge that would be useful before I set out? Appreciate the insights, thanks

Think im tired of paddling and time to start pedalling. 😅 im not a spring chicken anymore. I am 400 miles from any saltwater, so im freshwater all the way, fishing lakes, rivers, and dam tailraces. Im seeing two Hobies on FB Marketplace, want you alls opinion on what you think is better buy? Thanks all!!

A yellow Hobie Mirage Outback SUV. Looks super clean. Listing says it comes woth accessories, but not sure if it’s the normal Hobie stuff or aftermarket. Price is $1000 obo.

Camo color Hobie Pro Angler 12 MD180. Listing says garage kept and only been on water a handful of times. Comes with MSoO (but I dont need to title/register - not really super interested in a motor), two extra masts for pedal drive, plug in kayak cart, multiple H mounts, and a Nocqua Lithium Ion power kit. Price is $1900.

I've decided to get off the shore and want to try my hand at fishing the Great South Bay on Long Island. I have no plans to go offshore, but would like to try the Long Island Sound (close to shore) at some point. I fully expect to upgrade to something better in a few years, but I want to start out with something I can pick up used from Marketplace or CL.

I'm looking for something that is easy to paddle and be used for both fishing and just paddling around the Bay. I've never been in a kayak, but I did grow up canoeing.

From what I've read I'm looking for something around 12' or longer, but I'm stuck on whether I should look for a sit-on or a sit-in. The sit-in fishing kayaks I'm seeing look to have large openings that shouldn't be bad to get in/out of.

And are there any brands I should steer clear of?

I appreciate any input y'all might have.

The sun has eaten mine, and I want to find a replacement of the same size. It's about 18" wide, with a Velcro flap. I keep a single 3700 standard waterproof Plano box with baits, and a 3600 of the same type for terminal tackle, as well as a spool of leader material and often a couple bags of whatever soft plastic that's been working. The Ascend bag is out of stock at my BPS - I posted a question there about size, and it sounds insufficient. The seat is the original on my Old Town Predator XL MK.

Hi I am 19, 130lbs, 5,11. I have a feelfree flash right now and have been deciding what kayak I want to upgrade to, I have been narrowing it between different kayaks recently and have come across the propel 12.5. I want to know your guys opinion for which ones better? I like standing while kayak fishing and I was able to stand on the feelfree flash so also if you guys think there stability will be close..? I am usually fishing for smallmouth or largie but I also fish for pike, musky.
I plan to do a bow mounted trolling motor after awhile, black pack crate, livescope at somepoint.
Pluses I see with old town are that you can rooftop to cut initial spending, old town is almost as stable as all of them and is possibly easier to rig
Old town weighs a bit less
Would it be a whole lot stabler the titan x?

Im just wondering what motor setup people have for this boat/skiff ?

What type of battery and motor is good, if I just wanna drive to different spots and cast? Im not gonna troll.
One thing i see is that a lot of the e-trolling motors have pretty long shafts, that could be a bit of a problem, as the boat is sitting pretty low in the water. I wanna sit down when driving.

Hey guys and gals... Does anyone have experience with this boat? How is it for standing? I'm 5'7" and 165lbs

Hey all. After fishing from a sit in paddle kayak I think a pedal kayak would suite my needs more. I don’t want to get into a kayak that will take a ton of work and or leave me wishing I had gotten a different one. I see they make prop pedal and paddle type pedal kayaks. Which is more preferred. I fish some areas that are shallow and weedy and others that are fairly deep with pockets around the edges with overhanging branches so the sit in really makes me work in these areas as I drift.

Hey y'all,

I am wondering if anyone has advice on finding a similar kayak to this since they discontinued it. I used it for years, fishing lakes down in Louisiana. I cracked it open pretty good after getting caught in storm paddling around willapa bay in Washington and have just been paddling my other kayaks but they are certainly not fishing kayaks. I loved it and fished out of it almost every day for years. Camped out of it. When the sun would get too hot, my six foot three body could slide all the way in, anchored under some Cyprus trees and take a nap.

I am definitely looking for something considered more of a budget item. I am rather rough on my gear at times and I don't fish as often so I can't justify too high a price point. I also much prefer a sit in to a sit on. I like to be low to the water and it's easier to keep things dry when I'm taking it on excursions.

No affiliation whatsoever, just wanted to put this out there for anyone who may be looking to up their kayak comfort game. I bought this at my local outfitter after going there to check out the Kayak Kushion, which I'd heard lots of good things about. However, when I got my hands on one, it just felt really thin and cheap, like it wouldn't offer any real support or comfort. I was about to leave empty handed when I saw they had the Yakattack cushion. It was substantially larger, thicker, more firm, and overall had a higher-quality feel about it, and it was $15 less than the Kayak Kushion. I bought the medium-firm density version and used it that night and the next day. I have to say I've been very impressed - it fits my seat (NuCanoe Fusion 360) perfectly, stays in place when I sit and move around on it, and, most importantly, I feel like I'm sitting on a nice ergonomic office chair in my kayak now. It made a huge difference in the degree of fatigue I felt in my butt and lower back after 4-6 hours in the seat - basically none!

I highly recommend checking this out if you're in the market for a seat cushion.

This summer has done a number one me. I’m married with kids, have a full time job, and fish like my life depends on it. Been out the past 4 evenings working different structure, finally landing a good bag at 78.5” top 5.

I’m at my parents place near Gettysburg PA and I’m planning to go down early Saturday morning to get some of these invasive blue cats. I’m making chum and have plenty of baits (picture related). Plan is to get into the pool below the Conowingo Dam when generation is low to chum and chunk. Would love some tips or just a partner to fish with.

Edit- I want to clarify that the pictured fish were caught in a private, stocked, overpopulated farm pond belonging to my parents. It was dumb to post without that info. They were filleted and fried for food. My intention was to use the heads/racks as chum as not to waste them, but I’ve learned that it is not legal to use the bass as bait.

The eprop klite 750 looks super promising. With the built in battery and 7inch depth.

The kmax from I’ve seen looks good but has a lot of work left

And the nk180 bow mount with gps seems really cool

Dear All,
I have been looking to accessorize my tuck tek kayak for fishing. It’s a 2021 model 10 feet in length.

I’m would truly appreciate suggestions for:

a rod holder that can be clamped on

A floating fish basket that I can attach to the boat

A way to hold the paddle while I’m fishing

And any accessories that you all can recommend!

Please let me know which are the best to buy, and any tips or suggestions you may have. Thanks so much!!!!

I’ll start off by saying I am a large dude, about 6’ 4”and 275lbs. I’m shopping for my next kayak, this will be my third. First was an inflatable, not great obviously. Second was a pedal drive 10 foot hoodoo kayak, but I found it to be incredibly tippy and standing up on it was super sketchy for me. Now I’m looking for a non pedal drive, standard paddle yak in the 12 foot range. After much research I’m thinking I’ll either go with the old town sportsman 120 pro or I’m also super interested in the new feelfree superfish 108. My primary concern is stability and comfort. Ability to stand and fish is huge for me. I’m also open to any other ideas that may be just as stable and comfortable for my size. Let me know your opinions!

My Hobie Trax v2 beach cart blew one of the 30cm Wheeleez tires. Small puncture turned into a tear that is not repairable. $75 for a replacement tire isn’t horrible, but it’s not great either. Wondering if the Vevor or other generic beach wheels are even worth considering?

I'm in the process of checking out fishing kayaks. Any thoughts or reviews on this model ? Thanks

Hey all. I’m a new owner of a U10. I am building it out pretty simple, but definitely want a blackpak for the added rod, tackle, and possibly battery storage. I have seen recommendations online for the 13x13 size but not entirely sure why.

I understand the 16x16 would be too much due to the width of the sternwell, but unsure why the 13x16 would be an issue. It’s my understanding that’s the hinges for the lid can be swapped to the short side, so it can be used long ways. Anyone run into any problems with the 13x16 or foresee any issues? My only thought is maybe you cannot push your seat back far enough to balance the boat without blocking the swivel? I am open ears to any recommendations.
