Question for Hobie Revo - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Since no-one has chimed in. What I've seen done is adding pad-eyes on the front of the kayak on the sides of the hatch. Then you can bungee a reliable kill bag over the hatch.

Limits accessibility to your hatch but its really the only solution I've seen.

You have a revo, so mabye adding an outrigger to one side would be an option. Hobie makes the parts. Much moore storage with the tramp and your problems are solved. Best of luck, lots of info on the hobie forums. Tight Lines.

Give it to your buddy in the PA to store it for you.

I added some hooks to align with the d rings on my Reliable Fish Kill bag and one eyelet on each side on the middle so as to use a small carabineer to keep the bag secured even in the higher surf. It works great, but the higher center of gravity with one or more 30+lbs fish inside the bag and coming in the La Jolla surf of more than 3' makes for some fun times. When I use my Malibu X Factor and the fish are under deck that kayak is less affected by the weight in the surf. Off course having large fish as a possible storage problem is a good thing!
