I looked at the Hobie Mirage Pro Angler for it’s designed in and tested and proven practical fishing features that I can buy with confidence and figure out why it works well as I use it: > **[Mirage Pro Angler 14 - Pedal Fishing Kayak | Pro Anglers | Hobie](https://www.hobie.com/kayaks/mirage-pro-angler-14/)** > > The Hobie PA 14 packs extreme kayak fishing utility, with six horizontal rod lockers, enough tackle compartments to empty a store, and an elevated Vantage ST seat. BUT, being me, I’m wanting to compromise all that for some additional features and attempt to add the fishing features and accept less than optimal fishing utility on this: > **[Mirage Tandem Island | Islands | Hobie](https://www.hobie.com/kayaks/mirage-tandem-island/)** > > Sailing has never seemed so simple. When the wind blows, the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island flies across the water, powered by an expansive, easily tended mainsail. Yep, I want a fishing sailboat! I don’t have any experience with any of the above, so input and suggestions are invited. I’d like to both sail and fish. I’ll then add this: [http://www.minnkotamotors.com/products/trolling\_motors/saltwater\_bow\_mount/riptide\_st.aspx](http://www.minnkotamotors.com/products/trolling_motors/saltwater_bow_mount/riptide_st.aspx) … with solar panels and lightweight lithium ion batteries to power it and recharge while fishing. That’s the basic concept. I might build the boat myself. I bought a huge roll of Kevlar for that and other projects which would allow me to make it stronger and lighter and with custom features. Maybe I should buy a sailboat like this and set it up for fishing: > **[Find your Catamaran | Hobie](https://www.hobie.com/sail/)** > > For fun on the water or competitive racing, the Hobie Cat Catamaran has been the sailors choice the world over for over 50 years.

ETD, I also had my maiden voyage on a kayak this week. Why didn’t anyone tell me there was so much greatness to behold? Okay maybe they did but I only wish I had listened sooner. I also went with the sit-in because it was cheap, it floats safely and I can fish from it. I don’t understand how one can definitively say which type of kayak works best for a specific person let alone an entire state. Just decide for yourself. Anyway, I was lucky enough to catch a few out in Provo Bay. p.s. I caught the pig of a catfish on the same spinner bait as the largemouth. I’ve never had this happen before but it was a pleasant surprise. [Previous page](https://forum.bigfishtackle.com/t/maiden-voyage/223743.md?page=1)
