Birthday Present - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I did it for both my sons and it has been great! Even if he doesn't care for the fishing its cool to be able to go out and paddle. Some one on one quality time is always a good thing! My only regret is I don't have enough money for two hobies I bought one for me and usually end up letting one of the boys use it when we go out sometimes they argue about who should get it. But its all good. Xmas time is probably one of the neatest times to get out and take the family for a paddle tour look at all the xmas decorations and stuff in one of the harbors its awesome on a clear and non-windy night.

I bought a second kayak for my grandsons, and daughters actually. I purchased an Outback (Hobie) as it seem to be the right size for kids and wider then most for stability. It also has the Mirage Drive system which I figured is a good thing for them as they can peddle or paddle. You can find some real good deals on a used one if you are patient.
