Second trip on the new Lynx from Hobie. In and out of the water in an hour and a half. Trying to make bait, saw a quick meter mark and started casting a colt sniper- got this on the second cast. 33.5 after bleeding out. Thanks to the guys o the beach that took the pics.

How’s the stability on that Lynx vs a PA?

Congrats on the nice Homeguard. Looks like we were both, in the "right place at the right time" yesterday. I'm still downloading video and picts to post. You spend a lot less time on the water and did not have to deal with the wind that picks up almost daily around 11. I no longer have much of an issue because of the advantage of the Solo Skiff and Tohatsu 6HP outboard. You had an extremely productive short trip, I guess it makes up for all those extra long days on the water. Thanks for sharing. Tight Lines!

Yea. I though I saw you out there! Nice to get a good one- it has been awhile

It's very stable, just a little more squirrelly. It does not seem as prone to get out of control is you get sideways like the PA, but there is a huge difference when coming in with extra weight on the front- It would be better to have two the same size to balance the boat out.
