Decided to really get into kayak fishing. I've had a small paddle fishing kayak I've used occasionally in the lakes of GA and got the bug about a year or two ago for a Hobie Angler and getting back into salt water fishing. I picked up a 16 PA-14 for myself a few weeks ago and decided I needed my fishing buddy to join me so I bought my son a 16 Outback for his 14th birthday. The guys at Wilderness Way really set me up well and they did a bang up job customizing the Outback (I wanted a limited edition but I think this turned out better and he loves it). I got the first catch, a nice 21" trout, but we need some fishing lessons! Got skunked the last two times out.

Re: New Hobie Angler
Great idea to get your son an Outback. Now take some trips to some of the kayak launches in the link below. Low tide is a great time to explore an area. Go for a ride with your son and discover oyster bars, deeper cuts, moving water on tide changes, and have fun. Work on being as quiet as a mouse while you are cruising along.

Sweet outback the guys at wilderness way really know what they are doing.
And I have seen Billy catch a fish or two even out of the revolution.

Great looking new outback there guys! I love the limited edition that I bought from TWW back in December so much that I'll be picking up a "Wilderness Way Special Edition" Outback for my wife this weekend! Congrats on the first Trout in the new boat.
