Hey all,

I’m ready to buy a fish finder for my Hobie Compass. Looking for recommendations on which cheaper models will work for finding structure and what kind of transducer fits my transducer housing. Thanks for the help!

Oh damn. I might finally get to meet you fine gentleman. And the rest of you too!

Thanks for posting this. I’m wondering the same thing. Looking to go out on friday

Peddling and duck hunting, creates broken drives. As for the color...wipe it down with lacquer thinner, primer real good and paint away. It isn't very durable, but it will help hide the color. Mud is your friend for touch up. I have a camo outback, and I smere mud on the hull,it really helps with the glare. Those are a couple take aways,from my experience.

Can you expand on the broken drives comment? Should I plan on just using my paddle and leaving the drive at home for duck hunts?

Hey guys, I’m new to the peddle kayak world and the Hobie world. What kind of adds on and accessories to I “need” to get? So far I’m looking at a fish finder and connector arm (duh), those jet fins, and a crate.

Also, I need to find a way to cammo it up for some duck hunting and was looking at yak gear’s kayak blind since I have the “papaya” color yak.

Any suggestions?

In short: YES! I’ve had the most success with the plastic Promar Seal Proof canisters. They are slightly bigger than a coke can with a polka-dog pattern of holes and a screw top. They’ve worked for me without issue since I switched over to them. Everything else I tried there got destroyed by seals.

My intro to these sea lions was throwing a hoop net from shore and using a bait bag. Not 5 minutes after throwing it in did one sea lion surface with the hoop in his mouth and shaking it like a dog.
