Pulling the trigger on a new 2016 PA(need advice) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

sparky · 02-15-2016, 05:59 PM

First thing let me say hello, my name is Gabe and i am an alcoholic wait wait a fishaholic. Been fishing on boats my hole life and recently tried a hobie pa 14' and fell in love. Now for some advice from the pro's, I'm 5' 10" and can't decide on a 12' or 14' being that it's only a $100 difference money is not the issue. I've also tried the 12, I plan on fishing in the bay at first but I'm buying it to try and catch those yellowtail and whitesbass I keep seeing on your guy's posts. Any and all advice will be great fully appreciated. Pros and cons launching, fighting fish, anything you guys can think of, thanks a lot in advance. Can't wait to see everyone on the water!

14 period!

No explanation needed.

I've never fished off a 12 so I can't say it's a bad kayak but I do know some PA12 owners that regretted not buying the 14.
