Just bought a new Hobie Mirage Outback Kayak. I have been looking for awhile and this one came up for sale on the craigslist this morning. It is real nice with the peddle drive and comfy high back seat. Will is going to go and try it out in the morning to see how it fishes, (if we don't get rain). I will post the results of the test run when he gets back. The guy bought it new in 2008, brought it home and it never left the house.

That Outback is one of the best kayaks out there. Good luck with the test run. Check out the FCKA site if you haven't already. Lots of good material for rigging, launches, etc.

Well, the kayak hit the water this morning at the SM lighthouse and did real good as far as handling and manuvering. Will caught several short trout but did manage two keepers for the grill. Various other fish, cats, sharks etc. He said when the wind got up that the peddle drive was a life saver as apposed to the paddle. All in all we both have a lot to learn about the handling and fishing methods for the Kayak, but I am sure we will enjoy using it while learning. Looking forward to getting out on it in the next couple days.

Welcome to the simple life. Pick up a camera, it helps with the threads.
At the SM Lighthouse, Please leave that second parking spot from the fence open for me on Sat mornings. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you need some 'yaking fishing rods.

Already got to much invested in the yak Matthew, I will have to get by with whats on hand for now ( unless you want me to become your pro staff angler and sponser me). Let's see what deal we can come up with.
