When I first started fishing La Jolla, my buddy had a Mainstream Jazz, which was 9' (spinning rods in scupper holes) that he would lend me as he fished off of his Prowler 13. I was hooked and ended up buying my first fishing kayak (Xfactor), then switched to a Maurader, X13, Tarpon 14, and lastly Trident 15..

The pelican castaway in my avatar. Not fun in a washing machine. Great in the bay tho.

A Hobie Mirage sport, it's capacity was about my weight. My first time fishing from a yak. Rolled it three times just outside Oceanside harbor. Lost most of my tackle and a phone, rods got tangled in the rudder so I saved those. I loved it...

I am using the hobie mirage classic. I am pretty sure the classic is the least stable of all hobies.

Not a kayak but befor I ever bought a kayak I fished of an ancient wind surfing board. Milk crate bungie corded to the front a little canoe paddle. That was a tippy SOB but I fished the shit out of that thing. Bays, LJ, I used to get the wierdest looks paddling around at the Salton Sea in August with 2 gallons of gatorade in the crate and huge corvina draggin along behind. Kinda miss the accessability that thing gave. Mike

Ride a Cobra explore & then tell me which one is easier to tip than the Mirage Sport
