Hi, launching from SF. I've done a wide array of fishing, and love all aspects of the sport. However, it's been harder and harder to find unique and quality fishing experiences as places are getting more populated. So due to that, time to hit the open water. I was going to buy a 2020 hobie compass, but after wanting to upgrade the drive and mod some hatches, it feels like I mind as well wait to see what the 2021 version offers. I would have loved to go in on an Outback, but due to size and weight, I think the compass may be a better fit.

Look forward to fishing with you all.
