Pitching and flipping for bass in Outback

Just bought a 2015 hobie Outback. I was wondering if anyone has tried pitching and flipping for bass in shallow water while standing in it, or do you have to learn to do it sitting down. Just thought I'd ask before I tried it and lost my ass. Thanks.

Yeah not really a good idea.it takes some getting use to but sitting down is the safest way.if you have really good balance then you can try it but one wrong lean and your over board.

If you wanna try standing leash your rod,bring one two at most.put all your jigs and tackle on baggys and use the storage hatch so you reduce your losses.but also stick close to shore so if you can't right it back up you can drag it back to shore and flip it back over.have fun and be safe and don't forget your pfd

The Outback is plenty stable to stand in for most folks.  I would think the issue you'd run into is setting the hook while punching.  I know when I punch and set the hook it's a full body movement and I would think you might have an issue with some serious boat rocking with the kind of hook set required to move a fish in the heavy grass!  It's something that I'd definitely try without much gear to start with just to make sure you can do it without possibly losing everything in the boat!

Yeah that's what I was worried about too. It seems to me that a stake out pole through the scupper may increase stability(?) correct me if I'm wrong.

^^^ This!  It's stable to stand and cast, but big swings may cause you to lose balance.  When I used my stake out pole from my Jackson, I put it though my anchor trolley ring and it doesn't provide more stability (never used it on the OB yet).  Through a scupper... I think it wouldn't stop the yak from rocking on big swings.  Try giving it a shot, but with knees slightly bent in widest possible stance.
