Hobie Adventure Island Fishing?

[Klondike]

Hi Fellow Yakers,

I'm new to the forum and kayak fishing, so I need some help from experienced Yak Fishing folks!! I am leaning toward purchasing a Hobie Mirage Pro Angler, but stumbled across a "good" deal on a Hobie Adventure Island (single, not tandem). The Pro Angler provides excellent fishing capabilities - no doubt! However, the AI provides a good Sailing Option plus, Fishing. Has anyone fished from an AI, and if so, what do you think about it? Thanks!!

My first Hobie was the Adventure (sans the sailing package). I loved it. It was a fast, sleek kayak and I did a lot of long trips on it. Very good fishing kayak, although it is a little "wet". It's the polar opposite of the Pro Angler. It was a great kayak for a tall guy like me.

I switched to the Revo to save space in my garage and to get a slightly drier ride. I kind of miss the longer Adventure but the Revo is much more practical. I pedaled the Pro Angler once, it is basically a boat as much as a kayak. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that has owned both however, hopefully someone will chime in who's owned 'em both.

I know there are few guys on the Hobie forums that fish from the AI, you may look for help there too.
