All the water or kayaking shoes I tried didnt have enough foot and ankle support and adding insoles was difficult and started to hurt after a couple of miles.
My current best cheapest solution is a wear wool socks (thickness depends on air temp), drysuit, and old running shoes (with enough sole for slippery launches) a couple sizes bigger than normal that fit the wool socks and drysuit booties.

Don't fish Union. Drive to Spicer and fish before the wind picks up.

I pre-ordered and got my lynx in September. Great service from CCK oakland. I only kayak fish fresh water and most of my prior kayaking has been in a revo 13, i11, or paddle inflatables. My quick review is:

Pros-
Awesome to carry and load and unload
Great open deck layout for alot of gear, dogs, camping supplies
Can be used as a SUP but needs the rudder for tracking.
Fast with turbo fins and turns in a small circle
Very stable for me (170lbs and 6') and hard to roll
Can stand, sight fish, and SUP paddle in calmer water
Seat is large and comfy with added kushion
The newest arc reversible drive is super smooth
Two Lynx's can stack on top of each other if no permanent rigging is used
Transducer cavity is large and can store extra cable length.

Cons-
The outside shell is thin and fragile and easily scratches compared to rotomold kayaks. I'm very careful and usually carry the lynx instead of dragging. I haven't made a hole yet but I carry waterweld epoxy because it's only a matter of time. I seriously doubt the shell can handle any large rock or dock impacts.
Stock paddle storage location and bungee is crap.
The mid carry handle locations and design is terrible and if hobie had any self respect they would have a recall replacement.
Storage- the three storage options in the manual are OK but the horizontal options take up alot of space. I hang mine against a wall.
Hull slap- noisy hull slap even in calmer water. If hull slap drives u mad don't buy a lynx.
Alot of water over the deck in wind waves taller than 1.5' high. I have to use dry bags.
The rudder up and down  design works OK.

Overall:
Seems really fragile but that's why it's so light. Given the choice I would prefer a heavier less fragile version with the same deck layout.
Rigging options- initially was a con until I did some head scratching and figured out to mount plastic boards to the gear tracks and scotty clamps to the seat tube rails. Now my rigging works really well, paddle storage problem is fixed, kept a fairly open deck (without down rigger), and I can used a downrigger with a 2lb ball.

I don't see the need to modify and have a shorter seat to improve stability. The stock seat is not that tall. Some owners even raise the seat with an aftermarket kit.

Im stoked and the Lynx has alot of pros. This looks like a great option for fresh water. I do alot of kayak camping with two 30lb dogs and the standard hobie platform is less than ideal for one dog transport, two is very difficult. The flat lynx deck looks good for two dogs and gear transport. With a couple of accessories the lynx will be a good enough fishing platform, but a downrigger will be difficult. The lynx will be slow but stable with the 11' length and 36" width. 46 pounds is awesome. The stackable design is a great feature. Looks like it can be used as a SUP. Price is high, but it includes the 180 with kickup fins, all all new hobie prices are high.

I was going to put a deposit down for a new compass for my wife, but now I am going Lynx. Just have to find one. 

The revo 13 has been due for an update for awhile but its sadly not happening in 2021. I guess I will just settle on a compass camo. 

Yes Donnor is easier for kayak fishing, but has a ton of boat traffic lately. Tahoe macks are possible in the early morning on shelf edges or under koke schools but later in the day the macks go to 200'+. Stampede has a small population of macks under the koke schools and near the dam.

For the last six years on my revo 13 I mounted my side scan on the rudder and zip tie the cable to the rudder. But I do loose probably .4mph top speed and a noticeable amount of momentum. If hobie ever restocks the parts I'm going back to the stock flush plate mount and turning off the side scan. I don't get much value with having a small screen and the side scan.
