I think I've observed what most folks here use, and have noticed trends in how they tend to use their kayaks. What am I missing here? What are the main reasons y'all chose one kayak over another, and what are your primary fishing techniques?

I have a standard kayak and a pedal drive kayak. I love them both. But.....Ive found myself using my paddling almost exclusively. In fact, I almost never use my Hobie

. One of the main reasons is the simplicity of loading and unloading gear. They are lighter and less components to load. Just paddle, fishing gear and safety gear. I don't even have a seat so way less things to potentially forget. I do favor the pedal drive in freshwater. Perfect for a lazy day on the lake. Just depends on the angler. I got bored with pedal drives and find paddling much more exhilarating......never tried sailing but it looks sweeeet!

Bumping this thread. Im headed there later this year and was wondering if anyone knows about current fishing regulations/restrictions? Are there MPAs in Moorea that I need to be aware of? Has anyone been recently and have advice? Surprisingly hard to find info online

The Revo is hands down the fastest non sail yak out there. I love my 2012, but wish I had waited for the 2013 with the Lawrence ducer mount and new seat. My opinion anyway

I dunno know....... A Stealth 575 might be faster. Especially with an experienced paddler. A 525 is pretty dang fast and a 575 is faster. But I don't have experience with a Revo 16. My 525 is definitely faster than my Revo 13. Just my opinion too

Last weekend's salmon trip was on a power boat, not a kayak, so I didn't report it. Headline is that I went out on my buddy's small cuddy cabin (22 feet) with 3 of us on board. Went straight to Dux, tacked toward Stinson Beach and found a spot of big fish. We ended up with 6 hogs, all over 20 pounds, with the biggest over 30. I had a 55 lb. limit.

As for yesterday, Cal Dawn 2 reported catching almost 300 halibut, with 250 of them being shakers. Ratio seems about right.
Dang...thanks for that...I hope to fish that route tomorrow, Dux to Stinson...

I did Muir to Rocky on 8/2. Pulled a big fat skunk and a wave to the face. Pretty quiet out there it seemed. Not much bait and birds, no whales, some jellies. Launched Muir and trolled a BCP in 60-70' and 30-50' down up to Rocky. Did some laps, headed back to Muir and did some laps there. Only saw two boats and never saw a net fly. I don't have your slayperience so you might have better results. Hope you get em
