I'm at work and showing a colleague how the Mirage drive works on my Kayak. I was out on the weekend for the first proper session with my mate Mark. We started nice and early and finished pretty late, no fish were caught unfortunately, and the closest we got was watching a 3lb Pollack hit my lure then have second thoughts when it realised what it was! Mean while I was thinking if only we could move from this spot to further round, this would unfortunately take hours and a lot of effort.
Anyway the comments often arise that the Hobie kayaks are easy to use and it’s an easy way to get around and fish at the same time. Also one thing that is apparent is I can go a lot further, for a lot longer, and use less energy (just realised that anywhere else that sentence would sound dodgy!). I love fishing of the yak, great exercise, easy to access to those hard to reach places and the maintenance cost is non existent. The one down side of all Kayaks is getting from A to B quickly, this does limit the distance you can go from shore and boats can enjoy the fact that they can get there and a yak can’t.
Then I saw this:

Stunned is the word, and I am actually thinking of asking about the price. Although if the Mirage drive is £600 god knows how much this is.
Anyone tried one of these?
