We have seen an awful lot of changes both the numbers of people that are afloat fishing from a kayak and the way that both the marine and fishing industry has taken notice and embraced our sport. 2013 already has a Kayak Fishing calendar full of events, both here in the UK and abroad, I personally will be taking part in as many of them as I can, I also hope to be able to fish abroad again this year it looks likely to be in France and the Hobie Fishing World Championships. First major event for me this year is the London Boat Show where I'll be talking in the Knowledge Box each weekend along with my team mates in the Hobie Kayak Fishing Team, we will also be hovering around the Hobie Stand which has a kayak fishing area, pop by and have a chat. Our latest project kayak - Hobie Revolution 13
2013 and time we started working on a new project, this time its a Hobie, the sleek, very quick Hobie Revolution 13 in the very popular Dune colour. We picked her up a few days before Christmas from the Hobie Cat Centre at Rockley Park, since then we have been pretty much waiting for gear to arrive to kit her out and can't get to far with her without some of the main fittings. We hope these will be with us during this month of March. Meanwhile we have been able to do some of the minor jobs on the list. To find out more visit our Projects pages or follow the link.

Texas and the Hobie Fishing World Championships is still very fresh in my mind. What an experience, what a fantastic group of kayak fishing folk. The world of kayak fishing really does bring together some incredibly friendly and like minded people.
Well Hobie Team GB didn't win, Rob did manage to get on the stage on day 2 with a 4th place, the secret to the event was getting on the scoreboard each day, one bad day and you soon found yourself down the rankings, it wasn't just about trying to catch fish, once you found them that was sometimes easy, but getting the bigger fish then became the problem, all fish had to be over 14" to score, even some of our new American friends were finding the conditions tough. Fishing flukes on a drop shot rig was the winning method on day 3, you guessed it, I fished the method with worms on the first day and had one good fish, texas rigged worms were the method on day 2, so I stuck with it on day 3 along with my fellow team members, I just couldn't get amongst the bigger fish until it was very late in the day, and the clock ran out.
The Hobie Pro Angler 12's proved themselves as an ultimate tournament kayak even in the crazy strong winds and wind blown chop, waves coming crashing over the bow, the Hobie just got on with the job, brilliant. For more information about the Hobie World Champships visit : hobiefishingworlds.com
