Hi Guys
Proud new owner of a Pro Angler 14.
I will be fishing the Santa C :D ruz Monterey Bay area
I am looking for some advice on some equipment to outfit the kayak.

What type of fish finder do you recommend
What type of clothing, Farmer John Wet suit vs dry pants and splash jacket
PDf. I am looking at the Kakotat posiden but would like to get feed back on that

Thankyou :D
Looking foreward to hearing from you
Fishfinder

For the fish finder I highly recommend the Lowrance 5 Chirp. Has everything you need and installs easily with the molded Lowrance transducer.

Congrats on the New Pa14. I have one as well. As vegasvec said the 5 chirp is a good option as is any Lawrence FF due to the compatibility with the Hobie lineup. Any additional accessories I would recommend pedaling for a bit to see what you like but the Hobie H-crate is a great addition and if you like them, some rod mounts for the rails. I can't comment on the other items due to not having those specific items.

Congrats on the new PA and welcome to the PA family. I use a Kokatat Bahia Tour PFD and find it very comfortable even after hours on the water. Happy New Year! :mrgreen:
