Hobie Kayak Help/Advice - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have seen a couple guys, (usually large guys), out there single handing a tandem Hobie. I cannot comment on how well it works but if it were me, I would go with the Oasis for its lighter weight and potentially better handling when going solo.

There is one thing that could be a bonus if you end up catching something big. It looks like there would be a lot space to stack up some fish in the front passenger well on that very lucky day. I bet you could hold a big WSB plus a couple of yellows and even have room for a nice 'but without having to head to the beach.

We can dream, can't we?
