Hobie Play

I'd often heard about what great boats Hobie kayaks were to fish from, but until today I'd never had the opportunity to spend significant time in one. The ease of the MirageDrive pedal system and the stability and spaciousness of the Hobie Mirage Pro Angler were everything I'd always heard. Most importantly, though, these boats are just plain fun to maneuver around in and to fish from.

We didn't tear up the fish today, but Lake Ouachita is a great place to spend a day whether or not fish cooperate. I did manage to catch a couple of largemouths on a Super Spook Jr. and a spotted bass on a Rebel Crappie Crank'R.

I'm not sure exactly what tomorrow's plans are, but from looking at the forecast, I'm pretty sure I'll make good use of my Frabill FXE Stormsuit and my waterproof camera!
