Is the Pro Angler more stable than the Hobie Outback? I'm 67 years old - not really worried about flipping the boat as much as just falling off. I'd like to be able to stand up to fly cast or throw a small cast-net for bait. In the Hobie, which is pretty wide and regarded as stable, I still felt too wobbly to stand up. I'm wondering if the Pro Angler would tip less so that I'd feel more secure standing.
Hey buddy love watching your videos. I live in San Diego and do a lots of lake fishing however I’m new to saltwater fishing. A coworker of mine that is an avid fisherman has advised me to go fish mission bay for spotted bass and Halibut. Any recommendations where I should launch my kayak and what’s the best time to go? Thanks for the cool videos, lots of great info your providing👍🤩
I can’t understand why I can’t steer at all. Launched for two mins and had to pack up everything. It just keeps going in circles. The white lines appear to be good. I feel like it’s the black line going to the rudder. Does the black line simply pull it up and deploy it or does it steer it?
I’m thinking of throwing an A-Rig surf fishing for stripers … I heard that there’s a guy in my area ( Hermosa Beach ) throwing them in the surf and catching monster stripers! 🏄🏼♂️🎣🤙🏻
As a big guy, I've been able to do the same stuff on pretty much any sit on top fishing kayak. It's not the best test of stability. Try learning, like you dropped a rod in the water and tried to grab it, that's a much better stability test. Also as a big guy myself, if I put one foot on one side of a PA14, it will flip if I don't shift my weight quickly or step off. The height of the hull combined with the extra width makes this a problem where on my old Bonafide SS127, I could put one foot on one side all day long. The PA14 has great initial stability, but once it hits the point of no return, it will go. Just be smart - some people think they're unflippable and they're always the ones who flip on the water and lose all their gear.
Yes. You can launch from there but it can get a little rough with the boat wakes. It's better to launch at the ramp. Here is how to do it without scratching your kayak... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7aHLkSJUcuU.htmlsi=0cH9ljEbhfBymWek
Hi Juan, do you mean the one in front of the kayak? The Hobie PA14 has a round slot in the front for a sail. Ram mounts has an adapter that has a part that lodges in there and gives you a 1.5 inch ram ball. From there it’s just more Ram Mount parts.1.5” to 1” adapter is the big one.
I would love to go fishing with this captain, What a great guy to learn from! He is very helpful and knows what he is doing without being a hot head! I will for sure look them up for a six pack trip!
