  • Getting slime on the GiftHorse II

    I received an amazing gift of a Hobie Outback earlier this week. Such an amazing surprise....now Ron and Bill won't have to wait for me ......as long.

    Took it out today on St Jerome's Creek, to get acclimated....I have never even test drive a Hobie thinking owning one was beyond my means, even used.

    I won't go into detail, but after a couple hours adjusting, I landed a couple keepers on a popper. Lots of breakers once the tide turned, but bigger fish wanted the top water stuff.

    I'm happy, grateful, humbled.....I'm sure a few of you will recognize the boat.

              Congrats Kevin. Way to go, keeping the Fishing "MOJO" going on your new Yak

              Don't worry Kevin, I can't keep up with Ron in my Outback, so it's not you. That Ron is a fishing machine

                      Hobie hit it "out of the park" with the Vantage seat design.

                      Congrats on your new ride, hope to catch up with you guys in the spring

                        The seat is a Jackson Kayak Elite seat...not a Vantage seat...the Gift Horse II is a 2010 Outback- the Vantage seat wasn’t available on the Outback until 2015...
