I don't think you can share the map data across ethernet, but I could be wrong. If it was me, I would dedicate one head unit to display charts.

Thanks Bill, I've been using the Hobie Lynx for 2 years now, and the hull protection measures I implemented, have definitely made a big difference

Hi @lurekayaklrf - it’s a super stretch of coast, but conditions have to be calm, which doesn’t happen too often in the uk plus I live a long way away so don’t fish there as often as I would like

Ha ha! I must have been having a bad day

I cut up some kitchen chopping board. It’s cheap and easy to buy

It has performed really well. I am in the process of applying the same keeleazy to another boat at the moment. I kind of assumed that the adhesive would give, and it would start to peel off, but it has stayed on perfectly

Yup, it still works, but take care of the usb plug… mine is starting to show signs of corrosion

That’s a great idea Tony, I will definitely have to try that next time

Hi Pete - thanks for the comment… the cost of the protection was minimal (Berley Bumper Bro and some protective strips) when compared to the cost of the Lynx. I have used the Lynx for lots of inshore saltwater fishing trips. It performed really well - I added an anchor trolley to the Lynx as well. All in all, the Lynx has been outstanding - I also own 2 Hobie Outbacks and a Hobie Revolution. Since I have owned the Lynx I hardly ever use the Outbacks and Revi. It is lighter and quicker than both of them, and more stable. I wouldn’t want to be out in it, if it was rough, but then I wouldn’t want to be out in my outback (or any other kayak for that matter) if it was rough.

Yes, for native uk crayfish… these are invasive American signal crayfish, and it is legal to take them if you have a licence, which I do. It’s all in the video

​@@dizzyfishif I vgot a license for crayfishing,do I need any other license for to keep them and eat them?

@@kestutismarkevicius3264 his licence is only to trap them, You actually need a whole other licence to take them away from the banks alive.

@@dave311281 but if they non native?

@@kestutismarkevicius3264 Even if there non native mate, the American signal carries a crayfish plague that is deadly to native species. the problem is this plague can be transferred by boots/wet equipment and you might involuntary infect other lakes. Best to just get a licence to trap and kill them on the bank then take them home to eat. a lot of people will tell you " there invasive who cares" but that can actual makes things worse, which is why you need a licence in the first place so they can track the movements :P

@steelcurtaintd thanks, yes 6m of 2 inch keeleazy

Thanks Chris, it was the first time we had been cat fishing in the kayaks, and we wanted to treat the fish properly, but the kayak presents a whole bunch of challenges which we did not predict or fully appreciate. We learned alot and I think if we ever try again, the procedure should be quicker.

Thanks Lyle, it definitely works, but if you swap isome for live ragworm, you will catch a lot more. Best of luck.

Charlie - I ordered them online from Navarre website, and they were sent from the US. But I went back on the website recently, and it didn’t appear to work for UK orders :-(

Ssssh

I think there is alot to learn about TLM Garry. Red is definitely an important colour for them. I'm already looking forward to fishing for them this year.

@@dizzyfish hopefully see you there again, I have found mullet fascinating since I was a boy. Thick lipped under my dads boat. Just Seemed impossible to catch back then. Of course they often still can be at times 😅.

Thanks Charlie. I used hull protector strips underneath, and then used a BerleyPro bumper bro on the bow, which also provides a bit of protection… the two mods in combination seem to be doing a good job so far. I still have the Revo 11, and if I didn’t have the lynx, it would be my go to for freshwater, and I still love it. But like you say, the Lynx is just so blooming light, and I’m not getting any younger!

Hi Terry - A day ticket and launch pass for kayak fishing at Llangorse currently costs £21.50 - you can book it online. Make sure you get a bit of training and don't forget all of the safety gear if you are thinking of taking up kayak fishing. I purchased my Hobie kayak at the Shore Thing Hobie center based right on the beach at Poole. Great place, as you can try before you buy - Steve and Kris are great help and have been advising kayak fishermen for a long time.

@@dizzyfish thanks for reply much appreciate. One guy on video had a oldtown kayak. Can you buy them in UK if so how can you buy them.

@@terrylewis3365 - Hewy bought his OldTown from a boat chandler - bankrupt stock

It is lovely there Garry. I'm planning on going there tomorrow if you fancy a trip

@@dizzyfish i would love too unfortunately I have family commitments ☺️

I will drop one off 😂 Think that was the correct choice… I thought he was going to cry when he saw it was a single fun size twix… felt sorry so gave him the bonus penguin

Mario, yes it is an artificial ragworm… the red colour seems to work best

Hi Mario - if you search for Marukyu Isome, that is what I was using

I guess with all kayaks there has to be a compromise. I love how light the Lynx is, and I guess if they had made it tougher, then it would have increased the weight. I've subjected my Lynx to alot of abuse in both rivers and saltwater over the last 15 months.... the addition of the BumperBro and the KeelEazy strips I added have definitely made a big difference

Thanks guys... i've been watching your adventures - so cool!

Hi Tim - they are European Seabass. The unseasonally mild autumn weather this year has allowed us to keep catching them

Thanks Charlie - I was looking out the window at the wind and rain last weekend, and happened to find a clip from that trip... watching it, really cheered me up, and it took me back to the happy days of summer. So I decided to make the vid. It does seem like such a long time ago. I'm already looking forward to meeting up for next year's mayfly hatch. Did you see the speed with which that chub tore across the stream when I released it... let's hope the otter didn't catch it!
