Lightning Nomad Kayak On Water Test - Hobie Outback Owner Converted?
Testing out the Lightning Nomad on a local river for first feel. The features, the ride, the build.... does it pass the initial test of a Hobie Outback Fan?

Looks like you made a good choice there. It appears to be becoming the choice of the newly minted USA Olympic Kayak Fishing Team.
I believe that is a different brand that has a Nomad model. This is the Nomad made by lightning kayaks.
Interesting video. Looking into upgrading from a 10ft paddle to either a fin / pdl drive kayak. Thanks for your review
The Freedom drive is actually the equivalent of the Hobie V2 drive. Looking forward to some on-the-water comparisons. Thanks for the videos.
Those handles definitely don't look good. I wonder why they weren't rotomolded in seamlessly with the rest of the kayak?
Yeah. I'm not sure. Just seems like an added weak point. Who knows.
Are you near Atlantic Tackle?
Around the bend but headed that way.
Good time spent with the fam. Prob gonna crab that spot soon
Where did you guys launch at?
Near Crisfield. We have a friend who lets us launch from his house.
@yakEAST thanks for replying
Cool
Crazy man.
Nice catch. The fall sucks but happens
Yeah. All a part of wading haha. I've been watching your vids too. Nice catches. I would have joined the tournament you posted on Facebook but its a busy week at work. You should check out USA Bassin Jackson Kayak trail. There is a potomac trail that just started up last year. Monocacy is an option on a day or two of the event trail.
@@yakEAST Thanks for the info. Ill check it out.
That's a destroyer lol We have no active battleships in the fleet
Now, try fishing in the West Philippines Sea.... I bet you won't experience any of that.😅
Destroyer not Battleship.
🤓
Bro didn’t even say battleship
@Milk_Man_ Title says Navy Battleship. We don't have any battleships in service since 1992.
It's in the caption so yes he did @@Milk_Man_
Didn't know how to reach out to El-Sexy but wanted to say congrats on making the FB add for Fish N Paddle early sign up post.
Hahaha. Thanks!
What’s your setup bro? I’ve seen like 3 vids and you never mention it
I have too many setups and switch it up. But for tog, I've come to prefer the shimano teramar southwest MH and XF. Reel could be a cabo 50, trax, lexa300, spinfisher v. Something with good drag and can handle 30lbs braid.
hi how long kayak is ? thank you
12' 7" I believe about 33" or 34" wide
Love catching me some tautog. Great fighting fish. Nice job on the video man. I just hit the like button and just subscribed to your channel. Stay salty bud and tight lines.
Do they still bite right now into Feb? Trying to do some winter shore fishing around Delaware and Maryland 😅
Water is too cold close to shore. Taking a boat out and wreck fishing is usually good about now.
💯 "PromoSM"
Lucky dog snagging it back from the depths!
Got lucky. The current was pushing the rod up against the bulkhead so it made it easier to gauge where it would be.
Taking his fish just like that
Nice catches! But man, please up your unhook and release game, banging and laying a taug on the rocks like that, even for a minute or two, makes it far less likely they will survive to become keepers...
great crabbing but odd dancing techniques :P
That was hilarious!
So funny watching your video today. I gotta try this lol.
Ha! Classic!
Nice but I feel for you trying to fish on that kayak. way to much to focus on for me but I know they can get to some spots some boats cant.
Reminds me of boat fishing with dad and catching 100s of blues
Well done ! Current can really rip through that spot 😅
Dial Guinness. You hooked a monster! That might be a world record.
ew fishing in poop water.
Nice
The Sheep heads I caught in South Padre were four times bigger or more but nice catch dude.
You know whay sarcasm is?
Bro how's it going. I met you back in June for the OC tournament. Can you tell me what part of the Potomac you in? And where to drop in and out. Thanks man
Going well. Thanks for checking in. We were in the upper potomac. Taylors landing.
She was a joy to watch!
Hi what kayak is that >? I am looking to buy a fishing kayak with pedals
I am on a 2017 Hobie Outback. Plenty of great options out there now but it's up to you whether you like the fins or a prop. Just my opinion but prop is much easier to quickly go reverse now and it even has a protective feature that release the prop into the hull of the boat if you hit something. The fins I feel have more torque when fighting strong currents but you do have to pull a lever to actually switch into reverse. Also... a lot more prop boats than the fins.
That was a stud blue. I would have been nervous trying to land it that it was going to cut my leader. And you caught it off my go to piling I told you I almost always get a bite at, LOL! It always good seeing and fishing with you at the tournament. Hopefully we can find a time to meet up and fish together again.
For sure. I won't be able to fish the tangier so I should be able to get some "fun" fish days in haha. Let me know when you are free.
That’s a real big one.
I'm trying this place for the first time this coming weekend July 15 2023. Where did you launch your boat from it'll be my first time there. Need advice thanks.
I launched from a private ramp. But Smith's Marina on the Severn River, used to have public access with a small fee. I'd recommend calling them to verify since I haven't been there for a few years. I've also launched from sandy point but it's much farther.
I am a new crabber in Waldorf Md can you tell me the address to this crabbing spot.
Jonas Green Park 2001 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd, Annapolis, MD 21409
How do you know where to put your traps in?
I look for any depth changes really. This location has a pretty clear drop-off.
J when you busted out screaming, I lost it. Told myself, "Yep, this will be a short,lol" Good seeing you and Daniel again. See you at next years tournament, tight lines.
have you gone for them recently. I was looking at going near or south of deal island on a kayak this week trying to finally catch my first one.
I haven't gone this year, but I've heard there are good ones this year
@@yakEAST ill be trying it out tueaday or monday depending on wind
Good luck!
Id get a longer net. I use a 30 inch net and i love it. Just gotta get the right size loop. Also there hot in that canal right now. I 2 limits last 2 days. Just have to wait to get the videos updated bc slow laptop. Good luck and hope to see ya out there one day
Yeah. I bought a longer net after this trip haha. Lost it overboard before even using it at the Fish and Paddle Tournament in OC this weekend so ended up buying another floating one.
Happy for you my silly boy!❤
Congrats on your door prize/raffle and to Daniel for 4th place! Job well done!
Thanks!
Been thinking of heading down there to fish.. looks like a nice area
All up and down the potomac it's gorgeous. Smallies are definitely bigger now. A few years back they took out a bunch for spawning and restocking purposes.
Hey bro, would love to meet up for my 1st Inshore kayak fishing outing. Tony
I'm thinking it's going to be at least a month until I'm going out for a non tournament trip. You probably don't want to wait for me. I can try to post on Instagram when i go out next.
Yeah, planning to get out there Saturday
@@yakEAST WEPA I'm down being a first-time kayaker.
Not sure if you up for it but Danny will be going togging on 11/10. It does get kinda rough out there so attend at your own risk haha.
@yakEAST I work for a tugboat company I know the feeling . But thanks I'm at work for 3weeks . Have a bless day
Flounder have to be 16.5 to keep in Delaware
Changed back to 16" this year.
Jonathan!!
