I'll be in Navarre in a few weeks. Hope to take out the Lynx. If the waves don't get crazy. All the videos show it smooth. Every time I visit family, the panhandle is rough waters. I wind up using the Lynx to tow wife's paddle board up various Florida rivers and springs or to see key islands.

I will be interested to see the next couple videos with it rigged out. Rod holders, bait bucket, fish bag etc. I orginally saw this and never even thought twice about it. Now I'm almost thinking it may be perfect. I come to the gulf a couple times a year and bring my compass. This is lighter and seems perfect. I am not lauching in the rougher surf anyway. Keep up the great videos. Been following you a while. Thanks

@NavarreKayakFishing 3 года назад

It will be rigged out very soon.

@gs17youtube 3 года назад

Wow I’m impressed. Doesn’t look like a bad option esp since some don’t launch outback or predators through big surf anyways. The light weight sure would make the drag from the lots much easier.

@nathancooper4954 2 года назад

great video. Looks like a great boat. Dude you should check this bag out. It's cheap waterproof and it looks like it would slide in under the lynx seat! Look up- Ozark trail 40 liter boat bag. I use a similar bag when I fish off my revo 13 in the surf. It solved all of my lack of storage issues on my revo. Plus these types of bags float even with 20 lbs of jigs in them!

@TheKayakWarrior 3 года назад

It did surprisingly well in the surf.

@rdo6566 3 года назад

The only real drawback I see is how the water flows over the bow. I get that it runs off easily with no sides but when fishing anything on the deck would be drenched and lost for that matter if not leashed. Otherwise it looks like a great unit. Love the light weight.

@stevehogan8829 3 года назад

@tonyg3091 3 года назад

I do not think Hobie designed the Lynx for ocean fishing. The fact that this guy here is good enough to make the Lynx work in the sea does not mean everyone should try his hand at ocean fishing on a Lynx. I for once will keep taking out the Outback for sea fishing and keep the Lynx for less challenging waters.

@tmcwilliam01 3 года назад

It seems to act like a paddle board and not a kayak in the "surf". I can't wait to hear your thoughts after you get it in some rollers and wind. The fins and rudder will act like small skags but not sure if it will track well or just get thrown around.

@NavarreKayakFishing 3 года назад

We are going to find out.

@jelly_fishing 3 года назад

Looks like a nice kayak!!! How was the stability of the kayak when standing? Nice video - enjoy

@NavarreKayakFishing 3 года назад

@jamesdavis3600 3 года назад

Really good video on the Lynx. I watch you videos and appreciate the honest feedback ou provide, regardless of the brand. I was wondering, how easy or hard it would be if it flipped over with you to get it back onto the top. Did you test that off camera?

@NavarreKayakFishing 3 года назад

James, I jump out and climb back in at the 15:15 mark.

@backontheyak 3 года назад

No worries Nick you still get a thumbs up from me. I will say looks a little to light. But I'm sure if you add all your gear on that will be more steadier than without your gear. Getting a little older on getting on the seat LOL!!! I'm a little slower getting on the seat as well hahaha. But again great video. Appreciate it

@freshsaltyfries5078 Год назад

Hey nick! I finally try out hobie lynx it was a rental and turning and standing was amazing. But pedaling was not you can hear noise the harder pushed on 180drive and my legs got really burn out dosnt seem that fast is that normal?

@NavarreKayakFishing Год назад

Pedaling the Lynx is a completely different animal then something like the PDL system. The motion is a bit different and is tiring until you get use to it.

@freshsaltyfries5078 Год назад

@kenman9833 3 месяца назад

What’s the verdict after 2 years? The good and the bad of this kayak? I’m from Milton and will be retiring less than 25 min up hwy 87S from Navarre in 4 years. Looking at one of these now on FB marketplace for me to troll for salmon with in WA, before retiring back home to fish blackwater bay with and maybe hit some of the close in wrecks with.

@TheZX11 2 месяца назад

I think he moved on to bigger, heavier, propeller drive fishing kayaks. I need the kick up feature of the Mirage drive and its ability to fold up against the hull, but still propel the kayak, in the shallows. He doesn't have any obstacles for his propeller kayaks to hit when off shore so he can use the instant reverse ability of the prop. Upside it is light. Down side is it gets dented up easier. The Lynx is a foam fiberglass surf board in its construction. The final vacuum form plastic coating helps but it can't take the beating a plastic kayak can. However, the Lynx is as easy to epoxy repair as a surf board if you don't care how it looks afterwards. Also, the accessory H-rails on the side are impossible to find as production has been interrupted for years.

@jimmydrive 3 года назад

I could definitely see scenarios where I would love to have this kayak. If I can only have one boat though, this isn't the one I would choose.

NKF I know what you’re referring to but the part of the bixpy that doesn’t fit is, and l can’t think of the name of it is but it’s the shroud that fits around the prop but there’s a replacement for it with squared sides that will allow it to fit l might be wrong but I just saw it on RU-vid a couple of days ago!

the do the same when launching, but when i come back in i take it out, the surf kicks up sand into the chain of the drive..like you seen in the rudder, thats from a Outback maybe the Lynx isnt as bad.

The Lynx is so light that you can just lift the front. I never landed the PA or the Outback with the drive in. That’s way to risky haha

@waynetisue6828 3 года назад
