Now to find the one yak thats better than others on the back.
I think I will be in one of the Ocean Kayak models this week for a few hours. Lets see how it goes.

Streak,

Bring your fly rod to the OEX tournament, I'll let you fish off my PA for a trial. I also fly fish off of it and it works great.

Any way you go, welcome to the world of kayak fishing! its a great bunch of people!

Thats very kind of you specially when you will busy with a tournament.
I have quite a hectic day that Saturday but it would make sense to pop out and see all the various kayaks.

Went for a test run today in an Outback and a Revo 11.
Outback was super stable with the narrower Revo being a little twitchy.

One thing I found in both as that if you are tall or have long legs (I am 6'1") the pedal adjustment maxes out before you can get your leg straight meaning that you are pedaling with a bent knee all the time. This is a big no no when cycling as it can result in quad fatigue and knee pain. I dont know if the same applies in the recumbent type position in the Hobies as I was not out long enough.

Would be interested to hear from the longer legged folks amongst us.!!
