@nicolascruz4009 Жыл бұрын

How does the kayak perform around shallow water and weed, meaning, around the Potomac tributaries and Blackwater refuge...? Do you have to keep the drive system most of the time up, instead of deployed. ? For snakehead fishing I think it would be a little bit difficult to do it, unless I'm gonna be on 18 inches of water at least. My Native kayak hits the bottom in less than 8inches of water and my pedal system is 90% of the time up, instead of deployed. I think it would be great for open water and not really shallow water. I saw Kambo's pedal system in the cockpit while he was fishing Back River a couple weeks ago. And back river is a very shallow river ...

@TomyTekOutdoors Жыл бұрын

It does great in shallow water. You can keep your fins against the hull and do short flutter kicks. You can also bungee your fins back, which will keep your fins against the hull and you can use your paddle to get around. Once you get into deeper water, you undo the bungee and you can use your fins again. If you get into thick weeds, you might have to take out your drive. I had to fishing in thick hydrilla fields in the lower Potomac. If you get into pad fields, you can use your fins unless they are really thick. I'll bungee my fins back and use my paddle. This is why I love the Hobie mirage drive. It's extremely versatile. I've used my PA in Blackwater fishing in shallow water way back in thick cover without remove my drive. I know exactly where your talking about in Back River. The PA will do great back there. Kambo now owns a Hobie PA 360 just like mine. He's recently used it in Back River with no problem. He loves it so far. He got it late in the snakehead season and most of the thick vegetation is gone now. I'm sure he'll have a review fairly soon. I'll have to remind him to get it done soon.

I need some advice. I purchased a 2020 hobie outback but i was thinking i should had gotten a Pro Angler. I wanted to try ocean fishing and want to know which would be better for that type of scenario? If i can get away with my outback, it would be great but if not, then i rather be safe than sorry.

@TomyTekOutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

The 2020 Outback is a great kayak. It's a wetter ride than the older Outback and Pro Angler. I can't speaker personally about fishing in the ocean because I'm pretty far for it. I've fished in the Chesapeake Bay, but the waves are different. The 2019 and above Outbacks have a new hull design and the bow is designed to allow it to cut through the water. With this new design, the bow will cut into a wave instead of rolling over it. When it cuts through the wave, water comes over the bow. This is why they added a second seal to the front hatch. Here's a video showing what happens in chop kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8CHjaSc3t_MiYk.html. I think you could safely use the 2020 Outback in the ocean if you pick your days. I personally would use either my 2016 Outback or my PA360 in the ocean. The biggest challenge is the surf launch. Here's another video showing it go through the surf kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdyad9Fo0sipqWQ.html. If you do go out in the ocean, make sure you have a bilge pump, wear your PFD, and bring a marine radio. Don't go out alone if you can. Please feel free to ask ask many questions as you like. Good luck with your decision.

No problem. I enjoy making these videos. It's a heavy kayak. It weighs 132.5lbs. I'm still up in the air about which one to sell, but I think I'm leaning towards selling the 2019. I never got a chance to take her out on one yet. The times I could take her, the weather and wind didn't work out. I'll get her on one eventually. It's getting too cold now, so it will have to wait til next year.

That 8 inch hatch is pretty useless unless you do what I did. I got the Berlypro Battarang which allows me to mount two 12v 17.5ah Batteries perfectly in that hatch while closed. One batteries for my Garmin UHD 74Cv and the other for my running lights etc. Since I have the Xl Livewell, that hatch basically covered anyway.

I know a lot of guys that have taken the regular PA offshore and are happy with it. It is very stable, but it does require more effort to to pedal. I went from a 2019 Outback and noticed the difference, but got used to it pretty quick. It's a little cold right now, so I won't be going offshore any time soon.
