I was trolling a kwikfish... lots of drag. I was able to keep whatever pace I needed. only problem was the lure was turning my yak consistently to the right....

my concern with an umbrella rig is there is a lot of algea in the lake right now and you will spend a lot of time pulling off slimy green stuff.
The quikfish has so much action that it shakes off any algae.

PA on Skinner
 

Sooooo! has anybody actually been on the water at Skinner in a Hobie PA-12 or PA-14.
So far everybody has talked about what they have heard but I'd like to hear if someone has been On The Water.

Just for kicks and my own curiosity I called the Lake and a lady told me that sit on top kayaks are not allowed only sit inside kayaks and they must be at least 10 feet long. I asked her if the Hobies would be allowed as a boat and not a kayak and she did not know.

Maybe call someone during the week and they may know more she was just reading the regulations to me.

I also called Nomad Adventures in Temecula and a guy told me that it can be hit or miss. He knows some Pro Angler owners that have managed to get on the lake because the person at the lake thought it was a boat and not a kayak. It is hit or miss but the regulations say that no sot kayaks are allowed.

Seems like calling in advance and giving them time to research could be a bad idea. If you don't live too far I would print out hobies Web page showing it's under boat and bring it along. If any issues come up take it out and tell them it's been let on the lake in the past. I would also keep the paddle out of sight.
