kayak fishing in saltwater
Ok, I have been wondering this for some time and I figured I would ask the question- what kayak do you use in the bay and ocean? I currently have a kayak but have not ventured out of freshwater yet (I have an Emotion Temptation- not the most stable for saltwater). Being that fluke season is just around the corner, I was thinking about giving it a shot. Post opinions or feel free to pm. Fish it up!!!

Re: kayak fishing in saltwater
Have to agree with the Hobie. I had the Outback Mirage for a couple of years with the drive and rudder, awesome setup.

Re: kayak fishing in saltwater
I have a Hobie Revo. It's great. The pedals enable you to hold in big currents or create your own drift in slack.

Re: kayak fishing in saltwater
Yeah if your gonna do it. The hobie outback is it. I have a buddy who owned a outback revoand sport and he says the outback is far and away the best. And he fishes that thing harder than anyone I know he chases bass up to the 3 mile limit even popped it in the boat and jigged bfts off it.

Re: kayak fishing in saltwater
Have 2 ocean kayaks
Had a prowler 13 for years and then found of a trident 11 used for a few hundred dollars. I went smaller and lighter - and I'm 6'4" 230lbs. Passed on the hobie due to weight and price. Keep it simple - a paddle - cheap fishfinder - net and a pole you can always upgrade if you find you need it.

Re: kayak fishing in saltwater
As far as peddle vs paddle???
\ I guess the peddle is a plus however I drop a bait all the time and paddle into the breeze to create a drift. My next yak will likely by a hobie......
