Hobie Adventure TI - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

WahooUSMA · 10-25-2010, 03:27 PM

One Pro Angler and a Revo later, I finally picked up my new Hobie Adventure TI yesterday - This is a big boy!

I Don't really know how I am going to fish with it yet, but I am sure I will figure it out. At least now, I can finally get back to work.

put a second pair of wheels in front and you can chase coyotes on the streets.
lets see how long this toy will last

congratulation bro.

A pro angler, a revo, and a .44mag! LOL. Maybe just a wee bit more.

Dana Point Jet Ski has their year end sale this weekend. I think Tim has one 2010 left...

We have had out 2 TI's for a little over month now. Although you could probably tell me more about them after one excursion, the trailer is a nice way to transport them and the trampolines are really handy. We load the gear and kids on the trampolines and sit on them to fish. Right now multiple mackerel on a sibiki rig gets us going!! These are very stable. Hubby qnd kids jump off the TI's with masks to check out things below (spearfishing anyone?). Bet it would be good for hooping, although I have not tried that yet. Trolling with the sail gives the legs a break. I bet you figure out how to attach rod holders to the outriggers to do the multi rod troll before we figure that out. ( I bet the kids figure out how to tow an innertube on windy days before you do!) So many options, this is a fun machine!!!

As an aside: the webcam, the nice folks at LJ Shores with their bounty, and all the BWE posts have motivated me to get back into fishing after four kids. Kayak fishing is nothing like surfcasting for blues and stripers back east, this is way better!!!! Thanks for helping me get my groove back.

I agree, No kayak is worth selling the .44 mag, especially in a state like CA....

Gino · 10-26-2010, 12:03 PM

nothing you could do with a 44 mag in california anyways!
You shoot a bad guy and the police take you to jail. and the bad guy gets a free lawyer.

imagine that

Roger that thing is super sweet, I still owe ya for the kayak hanger/pulley. When you going to be out fishin next?

I am going to try and go out Sunday in DP....Don't worry about the hanger/pulley....buy me a beer one day and we'll call it even......Long history on the .44. If it were a S & W, I would agree...it was an older Ruger and the sentimental attachment/value was just not there. I have a sweet Rossi .357/.38 lever action for sale....I need space in my safe. There are pic's of it on BD..

Gino · 10-26-2010, 02:10 PM

Ill be down there saterday, and i got a shopping spree at Bass Pro shops on sunday. If you make it out saterday ill get ay that beer!

dsafety · 10-26-2010, 03:55 PM

I am curious as to how you plan to maneuver a big fish around the pontoons and get it close enough to gaff or release. You will need to share some stories with us down the road.

On the other side, those boats are really fun to sail. There is this interesting effect called "virtual wind" that occurs when you peddle while sailing. The forward motion created by the peddles pushes wind over the sail creating lift. If you peddle at 3 mph when the wind is blowing at 3 mph, the boat moves through water as if the wind was 6 mph. Very cool.

Hey bob, check out yakass or yakabout on youtube. They land some tuna on their Islands, believe it's done easier with the tramps.

Roger, Congrats. If we ever go out, I'll bring a tow rope

Not that I have room in my safe but im always looking for an excuse to buy a bigger one.... Ill check it out on BD, maybe we can work something out. Probably would justs it there like my 30-30 lever action but I dont care, it adds to the collection (ive bought 4 a year on average since I turned 18).

Edit:
Hey Roger checked it out on BD but the pics arnt working. Shoot me an email or PM with pics,

Good Side Arm for hunting Bears and such though. Plus, I dont have a .44 Mag so thats a good enough reason for me to buy one.

WahooUSMA · 10-27-2010, 02:42 PM

Hey CJ. I am business travels this week in Indiana...If I can shoot over some pic's, I will. The pic's for the Rossi are on my PC at home.....Seems BD's server is down. You might try later????
