SOLO SKIFF MAIDEN VOYAGE
I made the decision a while back to replace the hobie with a solo skiff. After I moved back to the Houston area I decided that it was finally time. I ordered the outboard online and purchased the Solo Skiff from Outback Kayak-Houston. One of the few dealers here in TX. Decided to take it out on the open water and get accustomed to everything before taking it down to the coast. Not disappointed one bit. This thing is awesome. Went everywhere I would have if i were in a bass boat. One thing about breaking in a small outboard is that its the perfect trolling speed. Tossed crankbait behind me and found some nice bass stacked on a point in 10-20 feet. I was mainly focused on breaking in the motor so I only anchored at a few places. I did find a nice reed patch that I want to revisit when I have some braid tied on. Looked fishy. I cannot wait to take this thing to East Matagorda and fish the Brown Cedar area. Got enough minutes on the motor to be satisfied so I was off the water before lunch. One thing is for sure, I will NEVER paddle or peddle again! Thanks for reading and enjoy the video report.
