Hi, I have a pro angler 12, and several other hobie’s, if you are a person who is fishing a few times a week, and you want the best fishing kayak made right now, it’s the sportsman 120 with auto pilot! Steers with you feet! It cost 3800, new pro angler is 4800. Even a used hobie pro angler is going to run 2500-3500. Both hobie and sportsman are awesome! You should YouTube them and see what would work for you...

Hi, sorry what is the TFO page? Yea I go to Merwin and Yale a lot, Yale was where I went a couple days ago, the bite is still pretty slow for Kokanee, thought it would be better, I’m going to try Merwin this weekend, the fish are a lot bigger there than Yale. Have you fished Merwin before? Oh! Have you kayak fished Kress lake? It’s a fun lake to fish because they stock it really well and they plant a lot of steelhead in there as well.

Hi, yea I catch and release as well, and it’s funny you say you take a bag and pick up trash, I went to a big lake where I live yesterday and went kayak fishing, didn’t catch anything worth talking about but came back with a bag of plastic, from bottle to sandwich bags! Sickening! Then I get back to the dock and someone left a big pile of garbage on the beach by the boat ramp. Again I just don’t understand people, makes you wonder what the property looks like! Haha

Yea I’ll keep you in mind, you know what’s crazy is I ran an add on Craigslist for the same thing and all I really got was people hating me for killing fish!! Had people threatening me even had a nut bag show up to fish and just wanted to talk me out of killing fish, I eat what I catch, just don’t understand people these days.

Thanks I’m sure I will...

Hello! So I have 2 kayaks set up to kill some fish! One is a hobie pro angler set up with Bixby motor, fish finder, down rigger. The other is an sportsman 120 with auto pilot, fish finder with livescope, down rigger . I live in the Portland Oregon area and I’m looking for some Veterans that would like to go do some Kokanee fishing. If anyone is interested drop me a line. Thanks, and tight lines!

It really depends on what you want to spend, I think I’ve had just about every fishing yak made for the last 30 years! Lol so the hobie pro angler is 4800.00, pedal power, the sportsman 120 with a built in motor is 3800.00. I have both, the sportsman 120 is by far the best kayak I have ever fished out of, I have a down rigger on it and I can troll all day and fish hands free because you steer with your feet! Check them out. https://youtu.be/SOL9hOmUn6E

I have one on my pro angler, I do use it a lot, also have an anchor system, it will only reach and secure your yak in 6-7 feet of water. It is remote controlled and it does have it place. I have 2 pro anglers but now I went to the sportsman 120 with auto pilot, it comes with a built in min koto with spot lock and auto pilot, cruise control, I have not been back in my hobie at all! Lol Oh and they are cheaper than the hobie and way more stable.
