what one to buy - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Like any kayaks, hobie have their good and bad.

Had a Navigator, outback, and revo (plus a bew others). If you dont think the navigator has enough room, you will not be happy with the revo... That boat has even less usable deck space than the Nav.

Had outback as well, if going with a Hobie, I would take that instead.

I am one of the few that went to a Hobie, then went back to paddling. I started off paddling for a few years, then went peddling for a few years, now back to paddling.

I do miss the hands free fishing of Hobies, but do not miss the extra weight, extra gear, extra maintanence of the drive and rudder, tricky launch and landings, storage issues of Hobies.
