Big Hobie Peddlers - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

THANKS everyone

Steve
That is what I am talking about (finally an honest to goodness big guy)
when I peddled them it felt like i was bottoming out the peddles every time...
(with them adjusted forward all the way)

I am not looking for speed
I am not looking for stability

The only reason I would consider a hobie is for those long days
fighting current or wind, trying to stay on a spot, or trying to hit multiple spots over a long distance, chasing birds, exploring, etc.
there is no doubt a good angler in a hobie can cover a lot of ground.

The Trident is plenty fast when I need it most of the time, unless I am beat at the end of a day...
and it is also more than stable enough, almost too stable

Jim,
I use an all carbon werner Corryvrecken, may have to try the bent shaft
the hand numbness isn't constant, and the elbow issues come and go...

Steve, was the adventure a "wet" ride? another thing I love about my trident.... high and dry!

any other comments / suggestions guys and gals?

p.s
I could careless about the "pussy" factor
Hell if it made me a better kayak fisherman I would go with a set of pink avets and a pink hobie complete with a rainbow sticker on the bow
Kiyo...you wanna go paddling for 14 hours with me this weekend?
