Cheers desertglow,
Yeah I love my pedal kayak.
Would never go back to a traditional paddle kayak - at least not for fishing.
I had to use the paddle over the last few days, while I'm waiting for the spare part of the pedal drive and it's a huge pain in the bum not having my hands free while fishing.
Also feels like forever to get somewhere.
Using the propeller power is much faster and way less tiring.
Also you don't need to haul around an anchor as you can easily stay in place by slowly pedaling and it's way easier to move against the wind.
I'll do a review video of my kayak soon.
This is so stable, you can even stand up on a calm day.
I wouldn't trust it in croc infested waters 😂 one big bite and you're a goner.
Lots of sharks, including geat whites, where I fish. But haven't had any encounters yet.
I wouldn't take this kayak on massive offshore trips.
But you can easily do more than 10 km without getting tired on calm days. If I fish in open bays or somewhere along the coast I usually don't go much further than 3-4 km offshore. Thats only because that's about the distance where start to get nervous 😆 But I pedal much further if I stick closer to shore and around headlands, islands, etc
a snapper a day keeps the doctor away
