I am a lifelong fisherman born and raised in Southern California. From creeks and spillways to the islands and offshore, I am passionate about all things fishing. Most of my time is spent in the ocean, filming my adventures fishing inshore bass and gamefish. There is nothing I’d rather do than be out there fishing, […]

I was born and raised on the big island of Hawaii, where fishing was my lifestyle. I moved to Southern California in 83′ and still managed to still go fishing on charter boats, shorelines, and piers. It wasn’t until 2003 when I purchased my first kayak that my fishing passion really took off. I fished […]

Raised in Des Moines, Iowa till my late teens. I knew nothing of kayak fishing, but I did know the outdoors is where I belong. Moved out west in my late teens and began to get familiar with my outdoor surroundings. Fast forward to present day, I’m in love with kayak fishing. Especially when it’s […]

I’ve been living in Lake Tahoe for the past 15 years, and I’ve been lucky enough to fish for all kinds of species—trout, bass, salmon, and panfish—all within a couple of hours from home. But nothing beats the thrill of hitting the ocean with my Hobie kayak, a few buddies, dropping some lobster or crab […]

I was introduced to fishing by my father at the age of 4 on the banks of Hat Creek in Northern California where I surprised everyone by landing a sizeable rainbow trout. Some 54 years later, I still find the same joy and excitement from every fish I catch. Over the last 30 years, I […]

My love for fishing was instilled in me at a very young age, raised in South Carolina by parents that embraced the outdoor lifestyle. I began kayak fishing in 2016 alongside my husband. Together, we travel cross country and fish when my husband’s duty with the US Coast Guard permits travel. I am a co-founder […]

All from his Hobie Kayak! He has been perfecting the technique to […]

I was born and raised in California, but I spent 19 years of my adult life in North Carolina before eventually returning to California. My journey into kayak fishing began with inexpensive, no-frills kayaks that didn’t quite click with me. It all changed when I saw a couple of anglers gliding on Hobie Kayaks – […]

I was born in Albany, New York but now reside in Colorado. I’ve been bass fishing all my life and really enjoy teaching others the things I’ve learned over the years. Being part of the Hobie Team is a great honor. Kayaking is a great sport weather you like to fish or just go enjoy […]
