Hobie "Outfitter" question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The Outfitter is just fine to fish from. I have one in addition to my Revolution. They are a bit slow, but are super stable: I love to stand up and fish from mine. If you are fishing solo, I would recomend putting something up front to balance it out. You will go faster, and you will stay drier. Last week my buddy went fishing with me using my Outfitter, at the end of the day it had about ten gallons of water inside it. When you go solo, the back hatch goes under water often, especially if you are a big guy. Adding weight to the front will solve this problem. Good luck out there, you'll love it.
