The Hobie kayaks seem quite popular in the US and their pedal system allows for hands free fishing whilst trolling. I don't think I'd buy a pedal powered kayak but would love to try one out to see how efficient they are. The Quest model is a paddle version & looks well laid out for fishing.

the midland game fair, they look very goodthe power that the foot pedals produce

is asstounding

Having just got back from Florida.....with all the new posts on the forum in recent months with our more than competant kayak section, my eyes were wide open looking out for these guys on the intercoastal areas around clearwater. Spotted loads, most of which were families out enjoying the florida sea and sunshine, but a few sport fishers were out.

 

Having seen Specimans set up on here, I must admit that yours seems far better equipped than theirs.

 

I did nip into the Bass Pro shop in orlando, and their kayak prices are very very good.......I have brought back their boating catalogue, full of great shiny stuff for all types of craft, livewell bits, pumps etc etc, Adam will love it!!

 

There is also a dedicated website to sport fishing from kayaks...am racking my brains to think what it is...will give my friend a buzz and find out, and post later.
