Malibu Pro Explorer to Hobie Outback peddler of death - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

mermaidhunter · 07-21-2011, 10:29 PM

quite happy with the move to the hobie. love peddling. picked an outback to take place of the pro explorer. liked the malibu but it wasnt too fishy. took 7 trips with the malibu till i caught a fish. 1st 3 trips on the outback.... lots of calicos, lots of sand bass, few cudas, 1 juvi wsb and 2 halis so far but still havent caught a spottie. many thanks to tagyak pushing me to get a hobie. im glad i made the move. ive only fished newport so far so im clueless about the other harbors and beaches. here are few pics of the new peddler of death and its ventures. look to see you all out there.

Indeed it is a dead one. I usually pick up as much trash as I can coming back in, and I spotted what it looked like to be a floating trash bag. As I got closer the stench was horrendus. Got closer I saw bird shit marks all over it and and it's head was gone.

Thought it was a bouy until you posted it was a sealion (nice catch)jk.

Makes you wonder what took its head off doesn't it?
