When Hobie announces a new addition to their range, it is definitely worth a look. The kayak in question is the Hobie Mirage Compass, which will soon be joining their MirageDrive kayak line. 

We get a lot of questions from the forums and people reaching out to us asking what the best fishing kayak options are for bigger guys. Luckily, there are quite a few good options available to accommodate both taller and heavier anglers. In no particular order, here are some of our favorites that are currently on the market.

Jameson Redding showed us the brand new Coosa FD at Jackson Kayak's booth at ICAST 2017. 

We visited the Railblaza booth where they had a couple of new mounts to hold rods and other accessories. 

According to Mike, the NuCanoe Flint has been a much-anticipated fishing kayak this year, with anglers eagerly waiting for its release. We had a look at a prototype at this year's ICAST and it looks very promising indeed.

We visited the Johnson Outdoor booth and had a look at Oldtown Kayak's Predator PDL and Ocean's Malibu PDL.  This is a great combo if you like to go fishing and take  your family along, as the Predator is a more serious fishing kayak while the Malibu is light, fun and features jump seats for the kid(s) or dog.
