Lobster fishing on kayak!

[004251948]

Hey guys! I got a hobie outback that I want to rig up for lobster since the season is fast approaching! Any of you guys go out? What would you recommend? For sure I need lights haha

Not much to it. Throw 4-5 nets already prep. w/bait, buoys, glow lights on back and pedal out w/ a headlamp and reflector tape on paddles. I put a 3-4' piece of PVC with a lamp on top in the sail mast of my outback but most of my buddies are content w/ only headlamp. I would recommend a lip-grabber so you can remove the occasional scorpionfish or rockfish from net. Canvas game bag is also very handy. Goes w/out saying- bring lobster gage & fishing license.

Here's how I used to rig my outback a few years ago. Couple bucks of pvc.

Good feedback! Thanks! Do you guys stay in the harbor or go out to the open ocean? Ha

Done both. Watch conditions and go with a buddy
