Even though I've paddled for about ten years and had a Fenn bluefin , a stealth 525, and now an Epic v8 pro I can't even sit in a narrow ski without turning over instantly when I go to lift the other leg in. So you must be a good paddler.

You still have this ski? happy with it?

You still happy and using this 525?

Bom dia irmão meu sonho é adquirir um kayak desses 🇧🇷🇧🇷 Brasil 🚣🚣🚣

Very cool! You're giving us Gauties some severe fomo.

I have a 7.5 year old 525 so it has no live well & the seat isn't as deep. I'm in Scotland & don't fish live bait so not having this is fine. Nor did I in Dorset, England. I have a live bait well on the Fisha Duo, which has proved good for storage of dispatched Mackerel (ours are tiny, around 30cm in length). I removed the rod butt bar & replaced with a bungee one, which holds the butt up higher & is a big improvement. I use stays to keep the hatch nearly vertical rather than flip it, which I've found I prefer. I love the stability on the PF525, hate the width of the Duo, although it's extra stability might be better for the kids. I've been planning buying an Epic V7 plastic surfski to replace our only plastic kayak for some fishing, wildlife watching & distance paddling. At 54cm wide do you think I'll struggle to fish from it? I saw the video when you tried fishing from a narrow surf ski. Sorry, I've gone on a wee bit.

Beautiful boat-picking up a 475 profisha in a few days... little bit excited..

Thanks for sharing. What are the snorkels for? Just in case you would get pinned on a rock?

Just a recommendation use silicone tin coated wire for your battery wire makes a big difference long term. Available at most electrical wholesalers.

Quite a strain.

Q caiaque lindo,sonho de consumo.

Appreciate you taking time to record/edit/post the review! I just ordered a 525 last week and your review helps build confidence that I've made a good decision. One question - what is the maximum rod length that fits inside the fish hatch? I wrap my own rods and would like to build a couple while I'm waiting for delivery.

Great review! Really good to see some objective comments on the ski, I went from a PF475 to a Fusion 480, but based on comments like yours I may think about a Fisha 500 or PF again. Thank you for putting this together 🙏🎣💪🤙

Haven't seen the evo in the USA ... just the Fusion 480 . Are they similar? Thanks for the video, I'm trying to buy a Stealth but they are hard to find here. I live on an island in the Pacific Northwest we have some epic fishing. Wishing you good luck on the fish!!

Awesome review bud. One day that fish hatch will be too small haha

Thank you for posting these 🔥

What do u do with ur paddles when ur running

There's a lot of these getting around here in Oz. The hull shape, particularly underneath is real flat, without much if any rocker, which makes this more a ski than a kayak

Pretty sure that bait was a fusilier. Usually found in Mozambique.

Awesome and nice tuna there! Is the barge you refer to a sunken wreck? I have not paddled in that neck of the woods.

Can totally relate with those running stats! As a fellow duo crew member, awesome vid man

Hey man why did you go 525 instead of 575. Im currently undecided

Such a well deserved fish bru!!! excellent video work while fighting the dorrie.

Nice one man👌🏻 westbrook been on fire lately. The other day I landed 3 dorries and a tuna with in a hour.

Killer my bru, well done!

Nice catch! That’s a great eating fish for sure!🎣😃

Great to see the comparison. I have a 525 that I bought new in 2015. Lovely kayak, but no live well. I don't need one in UK, but will have one on the new Fisha Duo because it'll come with it, once it's for sale. That tab on the starboard side is where I attach my rod leash. You guys with big surf use a different system, from what I've seen. I love the new rear hatch & the wiring routing. I have a battery box like your Evo, but it doesn't fit a FPV lithium battery. I've just made a new one to accommodate it.

No idea how your stayed upright through that wave that crashed behind you lol

Hey brother you & I have a bit in common...we both like kayak fishing, coffee...& have a knack of coming up fishless! My missus says "its not about the fish it's the time you're having...". I can only laugh! GREAT vids man keep them coming yeewww! Regards from the Sunshine Coast in Oz 🎣✌🤙

That's a different way of fishing for snoek I've never seen it before. I fish south coast a lot and use plastics and fillet traces.

Great video! Good move not letting yourself get cleaned up by the rouge wave at the end!🎣😃

Epic session bud!

Killer bru! You deserve every fish you get. Bummer about that second pull.

Great video! I really wanted to know what that last fish was!🎣😃

Not so Fishless anymore.

good stuff! I've got a FISHA 500 ordered and cannot wait!

The struggle is real! Side saddle bro! Haha, too funny! Well played man

Great video. I'm about to purchase a 525. Do you think there's a way to make the hatch better sealed when closed. I think I will fall many times when I start. keep on sharing videos.

I’ve launched 17 times and paddled about 150km and still haven’t caught a fish!! I know this struggle too well!

Unlucky guys. Keep trying.

What is the different between Fisha and Pro Fisha?

Epic episode and it was awesome paddling with you guys 🎣👌😎

Great video. Thanks for the lekka paddle. Pity about the fishing.

So definitely no fish this time...!

Seems so nice and calm out there this time. Great vid Kade. That was some good skill coming in! Nice side surf...

Mark, I take it you are still Fishless?. You have to be the only person that I know of, who blanks ,while fishing in a bait ball... :). Could not resist that. Hope you catch lots on your next trip.

That's a good catch Kade. Well done and thanks Mark for breaking the Fishless streak!

To see you take out that much plastic from just being a few hours out on the water isn't good or nice to see at all. Good job with collecting it K. Got yourself a new sub! Cheers T

Gold.
