Hey ag and Zip

I always looked at these Hobies but I would check on the NE Kayak fishing web site and ask the guys on their forum to find one that fits the bill.

I still catch more fish out of my Jeep!

I'm with you Surfrat I catch plenty ...with sand between my toes

looks like a nice yak but at 138lbs and 2500 bucks and then 250 for a live well (8 gallons) 1900 bucks for the 1hp drop in electric motor kit....... so for about 5 grand...... it sounds more like a small boat....




Ever wanted to gain access to the next new honey-hole but just couldn't quite figure out how to get there? How about seeing that sweet spot back through the woods, brush or shallows that you couldn't reach with a traditional boat? Better yet, what about that area that you've been dying to get down to, but there was no launch ramp or road leading down to the waters edge or that absolutely perfect spot that has been closed off to traditional motorized boats? Your answer has arrived. Introducing the new Hobie Mirage Pro Angler. One of the world's lightest, most efficient, feature-filled boats on the market today. A revolutionary design breakthrough with extraordinary stability. It has everything you need to maximize your angling experience without sacrificing comfort, functionality or storage capabilities. The Pro Angler comes loaded with features that put it in a class by itself. With a capacity of over 600 lbs., you can bring it all. Protected horizontal storage for up to six rods and two additional vertical rod holders. Space for 13 Plano tackle boxes, three in-hull storage compartments, plus an additional large on-deck storage area for an optional livewell or cooler. You get a fully-adjustable, breathable Cool Ride seat, a work area/cutting board and replaceable mounting boards on each side to attach your fish finder, GPS, lights, or downriggers. The Pro Angler is powered by the Hobie MirageDrive, which allows you to enjoy fishing without the noise and expense of a gas engine.
