[JayDee]

Hi All,

Finally pulled the trigger on a 2017 Hobie PA14 this past weekend and trying to finish rigging her up.

I'm planning on hitting mostly the bay until i can get enough experience with yak fishing then hopefully do the LJ for bigger game.

Where are you guys mostly launching from? I will be transporting my yak in my Tahoe so parking place is a must. Spanish landing are charging by the hour for parking now so any other easy to launch from places you guys can share?

Thanks much!

Tidelands Park is a cool and easy spot for a nice day on the water. Plenty of grass flats, boat moorings, and the bridge pillars to fish.

For Mission Bay- Dana Landing or the beach in front of OEX if you get there early enough

Transporting IN your Tahoe? If so, may I suggest a different method? That yak is going to be wet at minimum and likely sandy, plus if you get in a roll-over accident consider yourself dead.

If transporting ON, disregard.

Woah! I didnt even think or consider that. I have the T-Bar from harbor freight and originally will just lay down the back seat and slide her down and tiedown. Is this what you mean?

I dont think the nose of the yak will be parallel to me while driving.

Update with sand tires wheelezes or Malones . Those wheelies are back breakers in the sand .
