I managed 1 small brown trout for the trip but the weather was against us for fishing as the day was bright & sunny, with the lake flat calm.
I did get some photos of my daughters Wadefish under way.
Bow wave at about 4Km an hour
From the stern at about 6Km an hour
I went by myself & let some of the other members try out the second boat. All of them came back saying how easy the boat was to peddle.
I find that I can do 4Km/h for trolling without any effort at all & on the day we did about 9Km in 3 hours including stopping to cast into bays, swap around boats & take photos.
If you want to cover some distance you can push them up to 6Km/h & blow paddlers into the weeds and still be comfortable and then as for a top speed 11Km/h can be achieved for short dashes.
We also did some roll over tests & you have to have the top plank on the seat box at water level before you cant stop it from tipping so they are very stable.
I also had a couple of races wit a Hobie Outback using the Mirage Drive as well & blew him into the weeds but did loose out out on a paddle run against the groups fastest boat but I have forgotten what type of kayak it is.
(He is also a lot taller than me & Im sure it was only his longer stroke that got him over the line before me)Here is the line up of kayaks.
