I don’t see much discussion about Kakus on here. This would be my first kayak and only for fresh water (small lakes, big reservoirs.) I’ve been looking at the Kaku Zulu pedal drive and tbh after all the videos and reviews I’ve seen, they seem to be an excellent bang for the buck. 500 lb capacity, the seat is apparently extremely comfortable/stable, lots of storage space and plenty of room to add anchor or trolly motors. I think the biggest selling point for me is to be able to take out the pedal drive and add a 2nd chair to take out the wife or one of my kids. For 2,300 shipped, it seems to b ..read more

just got my first fish finder (garmin 4cv), question on using it to target fish: do you see the fish below you and immediately try to target them? or do you more generally try to find areas specifically? how much lag is there between what i pass over and what i see on the screen typically? should i be casting behind me? i fished with it the first time last sunday and i was seeing big fish as i was crossing the middle of the lake to get to the coves but didnt have any bites by casting behind me as i was passing by. i caught fish in the cove but i was seeing NOTHING on the finder there (because ..read more

I’m looking to get my first used hobie. I had a vibe sea ghost and I loved it, but it was pretty big imo for a non-pedal drive. I’m looking at a Hobie sport 9 ($800) and a passport 10.5 ($1200, hopefully less). Any opinions on the sport 9 for fishing? I’d mainly be fishing canals, and the intercoastal in Florida. I’d love to be able to launch from the beach and fish the ocean. Can the 9 handle this? A big question I have here too is how easily can I mod the seat? I don’t kind a nice DIY, but I’m not familiar with hobies and what’s out there. The sport im looking at doesn’t have a raised stadi ..read more

I have been keeping an eye out for a used kayak with pedal drive for both fishing and recreational use. I came across this local listing and not sure if it's a fair price or wait and hold out for abother model or brand. I have not purchased nor do I have any experience in other kayak make/models. So I was wondering what people's general thoughts were on the Hobie Compass. I know it doesn't have all the bells and whistles when compared to other high end angler models especially when it comes to fishing. But it does have a good foundation to build on or atleast I feel that way. Just need someth ..read more

So went out kayak fishing today 11-3 in FL. Wore full covering of clothes. But noticed my shoes and feet getting hot, kayak paddle would get super hot from sitting while i fished. Got a new wilderness systems crate with clear top, everything in the top of it was melting hot. Damn near burned my hand getting my hook remover out. Do they have kayak sun shades? Any other ideas? submitted by /u/J82nd [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey guys so I tend to jump into things and later wish I had knew things before committing (trying to work on that) Do you think I would have any regrets jumping into a pedal drive oldtown? My main concerns are transporting. I have a pickup truck with a A.R.E camper that has ladder racks on it that I use for work would I be able to transport on that?as of now I have no where to store a trailer. Am I ok to just go in a store and buy one or should I be looking to buy a used one? And if used what type of price range is good for them I’ve been looking at pdl 106 and 120s mainly. Also if I buy one ..read more
