Big Tuna kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

BigTunaL · 02-21-2014, 08:27 AM

Thank you all for your replies. I would have loved going for a mirage and kept my cheap lifetime tandem for the family, but i cannot afford the extra 1K for the hobie. I think winter season it'll be used solo mostly and summer time with my kids (having 3 chairs is awesome)

I'm going to launch la Jolla shores tomorrow. I will post my test results on Sunday.

Thanks again everyone.

I hit La Jolla shores yesterday and overall I am satisfied with my new kayak.
Speed was not bad at all, we had plenty of leg room, the live bait tank was incredible and very efficient. I put in few Mackerels to test and they stayed alive the whole day. The only negative thing is stability: we could easily tip the boat with an aggressive paddle and a bit of weight shift. Next time I will try to go solo and see if it is more stable this way.
