Post subject:  Hobie i12s for offshore fishing

Hi everybody,
Do you think it is reasonable to buy an i12s hobie with the intention of doing offshore fishing (to go up to 2 miles offshore in mediterranean sea) ?
Especially since I'll probably be alone.
Do any of you have the experience ?
I thought of installing H rails that will fix sidekicks to improve stability. Also in case I use the sail. But are the sidekicks really useful for an i12?

Thank you for your reply.
Have you been able to experience a kayak like the Outback or the Compass?
How do you feel comparatively on the i12?
In terms of stability, navigability and ease of passage of water over the side balloons.
Do you feel as well "protected" like in a hard version ?
Is it as comfortable as on a hard kayak? I didn't try the i2 yet. But according to photos, I have the impression that we find ourselves much more "sit on top" on an inflatable ? ...
