Price reduced one last time to $3800.  If no takers, I'm going to put a trolling on it.

Yak fishing requires committing most of the day.  I don't have that much time anymore due to family commitments.  I usually have 2 hours time frame to fish so surf fishing is more manageable.

The big ones are here this year, got 5 w/ biggest at 22 lbs gutted and bled last weekend in my boat out the gate...now I just need them to show up in HMB or pacifica so i can get them from the yak!

Nice catch.  For a minute there I thought you caught those from your Yak.  DM me when you have your yak setup for some fishing.

Thats a very good question. A lot of people prefer south of LM claiming its easy access to Pedro Point (fishing access). I prefer Rockaway I find it more easy launching. I don't like surf hahaha.


interesting thanks for the note. So in your experience, Rockaway is usually calmer than LM?

Hey Nusharker or anyone, I'd be interested in tagging along for a trip to Pedro Point.  I'm kind of new and only fish the Alameda Rockwall a couple of times.

You may want to consider installing the Torqeedo on the side instead of in the back.  It makes dealing with the motor a lot easier if you have any issue.  Plus, you can use your Shark Shield if you install it on the side (aka behind the bar/seat).  PM me if you have any question.

Can you post some pics of the side installation?
I already have the boonedox landing gear installed behind my seat.

I'm looking to purchase Ultralight 1103 Torqeedo and set it up on my PA14.  Anyone with advice or experience rigging this up, please let me know?

Check out this guy encountering a persistent shark while fishing.  This is when you hope your kayak is super stable or a speargun:smt072

no experience on an Outback - but many here have given good advice on that.
I've had my PA14 for a few months now, only had it on freshwater so far, 5 lakes of various size, various wind, and various waves/wakes.  I've been really happy with it so far.  it is heavy, but I'm able to get it on and off the top of my car without any issues - so it is not a problem for me. I've had various canoes and kayaks for the past 20 years, and fished from them all - the PA is my favorite so far.  Looking forward to getting out on the ocean.

someone mentioned issues with righting a capsized PA - I can see how this would be challenging, i'd approach it the same as I would a small sail boat, have a line tied to one of the H-rails (in place of the mast), throw it over the bottom, and climb on the other side while pulling on the rope - the whole thing should flip over at that point. I'll play around with this when the weather warms up and I feel like playing in the water.

there are so many good fishing kayaks on the market today - you really have a bunch of good choices

You should definitely let us know how easy/difficult it is to right your capsized PA.  BTW.  I haven't seen any reviews or feedback of PA users experience in the Ocean.

   Another vote for the outback. Lighter easier to launch and transport. And plenty stable. My buddy bought a PA14 360 and it is a beast of a Kayak and takes about twice the effort to move anywhere.

That’s good to know about the PA 14 feedback.  Yeah, when I’m loading and unloading, most of the time, it’ll be just myself.  So Outback being will be a benefit.

Thank you for all the valuable feedback.  It helped me finally decide on the Outback.  I'm not going to second guess myself once I make the purchase.

Not a lot of support for the PA.  I see two used Outbacks (2019 and 2020) for sale online.  They come pre-rigged with some nice fish finder, (9” lower ace elite Ti2 & other one comes HELIX 10 G3N Fish Finder), wheel cart, rod holders and other gears.  But they’re $4k and $5k.  I guess with all the accessories they could add up fast.  The question is do I want to buy new and rig every the way I like it or buy it used and just get in the water to fish 😃

Wow, three votes for Hobie Outback.  I like the Outback too but thought maybe the 360 option was enticing.  Thanks for all the feedbacks.

I can't decide on whether to get the Outback or the PA.  The cost doesn't really matter much and the weight difference isn't an issue.  But which is better for the Bay Area and Ocean for fishing?  Any PA or Outback fishermen, please share your thoughts.  Thanks
