I'm new to kayak fishing, but looking foward to the fun and exercise. I need some tips on setting up my kayak a Hobie Outback. Can anyone recomend a good place to research? Thanks Gregg

You can go back through the old posts here and see how Hobie users are doing it. There is no rigged kayaks section on this forum, but look for posts from Blackcloud9, Esdees, The Darkhorse and other Hobie owners.

The La Jolla Kayak Fishing Forum has a section for rigged yaks
http://forum.kayak4fish.com/viewforum.php?f=16

and yak reviews
http://forum.kayak4fish.com/viewforum.php?f=12

NorCal Kayak Anglers also has good stuff

Most yak fishing forums have do it yourself or rigged kayak forums. I've found plenty of good ideas by browsing through those forums

You can also give OEX Oceanside a call. They could give you some good ideas on rigging.

Sorry. Not trying to make aspersions on your character or anything. I just know that you have a Hobie.......not that there is anything wrong with that....lol

Just kidding.

I was just trying to think of Hobie owners off the top of my head.

). That other guy has a prowler.
