First voyage in Hobie Outback
The kids had a half day today so I figured this out:
Kids off to school at 9:15. Leave house by 9:30. drive 40 minutes to SI. In water by 10:10. Fish until 11:30. Home, gear stowed by 1:00 to pick up the kids. Yeah, i really wanted to try out the new boat! What a difference from my Stealth 12. Easier to load and what a kick in the way it will crest a wake and not just plow through it. Also, what a concept, Hull dry inside after paddling, compared to 2 gallons of water inside the hull of the stealth! The tide was flowing in nicely when I launched. Took a few minutes to adjust to using a Mirage drive. Pedaled past the pier and started to drift in 50 feet of water. Did this seven times and landed 5 sand bass. Biggest was 19 inches, smallest was 16 inches. Kept 3 for my neighbor who told me he wanted some fresh fish for dinner tonight. Love the new boat! http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/a...1&d=1339027351 http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/a...1&d=1339027352 |
