Hobie kayaks fishing in Port St. Joe, Florida

Small flounder caught in inclement weather on DOA paddletail
Hobie is a company that built their name on sailing, but they are bullish on the world of kayak fishing and convened a writer's conference in Port St. Joe, Florida for some field tests in Gulf County. The weather on April 14 was marked with a powerful low pressure system that was surging through the Gulf of Mexico. Near constant rain, driving wind and a threat of severe weather did not stop the scheduled fishing trip. Using peddle drive systems to maneuver and Hobie Stake Out anchors, the kayak fleet was able to fish the flats in St. Joseph Bay for trout, flounder and redfish. The fishing action was cut short by lightening and the soaking wet anglers will focus on fishing another day, and will enjoy spending time at the Windmark Beach lodging while the weather passes.
