Mine was over a year past warranty and I was the second owner. They still replaced it free of charge!! Awesome company.

My wife and I need to take a lesson from these guys.
Here is my video of how to launch and land Hobie Oasis.

Those are some crazy dudes. It's amazing how well they handled that thing in the waves. Their paddling was in perfect sync going out. Great winter thread.

Thanks y’all. Good advice here as usual.
I will give the Codinter device a try since it’s the simplest option. My Odyssey doesn’t have rails or hatch, so first order of business would be to install the rails and crossbars.
I’ll report when I make progress
I've tried those, it doesnt stay on all time and will slip when you put weight on it.

I tried something similar and the kayak slipped off unless it was perfectly balanced and pushed. I set it right back.

I use a Rhino tack T loader and it makes loading on my CRV easy. I can even easily avoid my antenna on top.

General Fishing Tips / Re: you all fishing the ocean. do you see fishing jet-skies out there?

« on: January 26, 2024, 10:12:38 PM »

A friend of mine bought one last year and has been going out a bit but I have never seen one one the water myself. To me it doesn't seem worth it due to the heavy restrictions. As TeeKay mentioned you might as well just get a boat.

Very cool. I didn't know all that was up there. I'll have to slow down the next time I drive by.

Thank you Paul for your efforts and diligence!

+1

+2 I think your efforts have put the kayak community on the CDFW radar for this issue. I really appreciate your efforts.

I really like Piscifun reels. I have 4. They are inexpensive yet well made. Good for salt too. They have a few options for gear ratios and handle type. Moo Moo did a review on them a while ago. They usually have sales and are $80-90 now:

I'm beginning to wonder if Todd is human. Can anyone confirm that he is not an escaped AI and this isn't the beginning of the singularity? Seriously, well done. I don't know how you do it.

Thank you Paul and team for representing many of us kayak anglers and bringing our community to the attention of DFG. I think you are doing a great job and it sounds like they are listening. I was not able to attend the meeting but I should be able to attend the meeting on Feb 14th virtually and would be happy to cede time to anyone who wants to speak.
