Any one fishing Kayak Wars?

If so, what region and who is your team? What kind of kayak do you fish out of?

I am fishing with Team Primus in the South East Region in a Hobie Outback. Our team consists of lasts years first place winner of the SE region and the the two guys that tied for second in the region and another fellow that placed well too. Plus me of course, I didnt fish it last year but looking forward to making a good showing this year.

sounds awesome

looks like fun. I want to get a hobie for fishing. One with the pedals, hands free for fishing would be great. I use a short canoe now but the hobie would be a huge step up.

I love my Hobies, currently have four.

would they work in rivers with moderate flow? how shallow can those paddles go?

I fish backwaters/rivers with my kayak, works great, just don't flip while reeling a fish in.

They should be fine in rivers but your moderate may be different from my moderate. We do fish them in some strong currents just fine though.

They can go shallower then any other peddle drive kayak, about ten inches or so. But for a full stroke of the fins youll need close to two feet of water, of course you can always paddle until you get deep enough.

They are extremely stable, Ive caught some fish that rip out forty pounds of drag like its nothing on them and never felt like I was going to flip.
