I've gone people powered.....

Bought a kayak today. Most of my local water is small and electric only, so with retirement growing very close and my wanting to fish more, I am going to give fishing from a kayak a try. I'm figuring it will be much easier than hauling the big boat to those small lakes EVERY time I want to go fishing, not to mention being a more economical option, and I will get some exercise.
My kayak of choice is a Hobie Mirage Outback, it's a pedal powered 12' yak that is set up for fishing. It will be consideralbly different fishing from it than the 21' bass boat, but I'm hoping it will be a lot of fun. I wanted a pedal yak so I can fish and move the yak without putting down the rod and picking up a paddle.
I know a couple guys fishing from yaks and I'm figuring to join them come spring. I wanted the Hobie Pro Angler, but it would have cost me an additonal grand, and I just couldn't justify it until I know I'm going to like it.
