View Full Version : Hobie Maiden Voyage!!!
BigFish 07-27-2009, 10:39 AM Un-B-Leivable!!! Amazing!! Worth every penny I paid for it!!! First time out today (after it has been sitting in my yard for almost 3 weeks while I worked on our bathroom) took it to a favorite freshwater pond and it was everything I hoped it would be!!! Wind in my face and a slight chop and it went through it effortlessly! Stability is amazing in the Pro Angler, just amazing! Yes I did catch my first Kayak fish....it was a pickeral on one of my1 oz. Rainbow Trout "Prey" swimmers......had a nice smash from a bass too!! I was so busy prowling the pond I found myself almost forgetting to fish!!! Can't wait to hit the saltwater in it!! Sorry no pics.....I was by myself so nobody to take em'!!!
BigBo 07-27-2009, 11:43 AM :buds: Can't wait to get out there with you. :soon: I hope. :uhuh:

Raven 07-28-2009, 07:54 PM great pics ....
ProfessorM 07-29-2009, 08:07 AM nice Larry. Looks to be a very heavy duty machine. I was in that exact spot on Saturday. We got skunked.
NE-Stripes 07-29-2009, 08:16 AM Man if I didn,t already have a revo I would be all over that looks super stable. Nice ride you are gona love fishing in a hobie.
Offshore24 07-29-2009, 08:45 AM Nice boat larry. I'd ask you to bring it to Maine, but there's no fish'n here.
bassackward 07-29-2009, 12:29 PM I love my outback and I'm sure now that you let the family try it, you will have to share it because everyone I let try mine has loved it as well. Those new ones are awesome and worth every penny.
BTW, have you tried to paddle it? I was wondering how they paddle because you never know when you may need to.
Best of luck Larry.
Rockport24 07-29-2009, 01:59 PM Nice pics Larry!
now how do you get it up that high on the truck? I know that thing is kind heavy.... do you just muscle it up there or what?
Slingah 07-29-2009, 08:11 PM nice Larry. Looks to be a very heavy duty machine. I was in that exact spot on Saturday. We got skunked.ya I thought you guys were going to stop by and say hello...ya drove right past my house:smash:

mikrok 07-29-2009, 10:45 PM I'm very jealous, Larry! Went fishing in a kayak for the first time with my gf's cousin a few weeks ago and the wind was blowing so hard it made it a pain while there was a hobie running circles around the bay :smash:
ProfessorM 07-30-2009, 08:15 AM sorry Matt. We went for a beer at some seaside place on our way home but I had to get home quick for a Bar B Q.
justplugit 07-30-2009, 05:31 PM Nice set up BF. :btu:
MarshCappa 07-31-2009, 03:15 PM ya I thought you guys were going to stop by and say hello...ya drove right past my house:smash:
Sorry, we were so tired from jigging our brains out that we drove right by your house and ended up at the Fairview!
Hey, forget about the kayak and get that skiff of yours in the water!:smash:
MarshCappa 07-31-2009, 03:24 PM Two more!
This is a really nice setup Larry. Congrats and best of luck!
Raven 07-31-2009, 03:41 PM i can't wait for the Nantucket sleigh ride Post.... :drool:
Pete_G 09-10-2009, 06:32 PM Always amazing to see a mirage drive powered yak underway. Especially into a headwind. Even more amazing if there happens to be somebody paddling nearby.
