"Tommy, it's been a year since I sent the original request on the Gear box for the Orbix 8" Hatch, has Wilderness Systems come up with anything yet?"

Nathan mayfield replied to Chris Hill's discussion Lure Holder for 8" Orbix"im not sure. Ill have to look at that. I am thinking in a slightly different direction now. I am going to investigate the feasibility of some sort of mesh bag/dry bag insert."
"I went online and saw what you were referring to.
At the risk of sounding mutinous could you take a Hobbie 8" hatch and swap it for the Orbix hatch??"
"Do you have a picture of it?"
Nathan mayfield replied to Chris Hill's discussion Lure Holder for 8" Orbix"hobie gear tray fits perfectly in diameter and cutout around latch but the lip on the tray will not allow the hatch to close."
Nathan mayfield replied to Chris Hill's discussion Lure Holder for 8" Orbix"I am going to have to figure something out here also. It is such an obviously good place to have a hatch liner of some kind for the same reasons you suggested. I am going to see if the gear tray from my Hobie fits and I will advise."
"OK I've come up with something that should work until WS can do a proper design ;-)
First I went to Walmart to try to find an 8" diameter pail but no joy. Then I went to our local Do It Best Hardware store and in the paint section they had…"
"I thought I saw one somewhere but now that i want to do the same thing I can't find it.
I was at a hardware store yesterday and picked up a small plastic pail that, with a little finess may work. I'm going to try it out this weekend and…"

Tommy Samuels replied to Chris Hill's discussion Lure Holder for 8" Orbix"Right now the projects we discussed are still on the drawing board. Hopefully they will come to life, but it won't be soon enough for what you want to do.
Hit your local kayak shop and see what they have available for other brands."
Chris Hill replied to Chris Hill's discussion Lure Holder for 8" Orbix"Thanks, please let me know what you find out from the factory on any type of storage options that are scheduled to be released. The Hobie Gear Box is nice since it allows you to keep some "key" tackle cose and ready for change…"
Tommy Samuels replied to Chris Hill's discussion Lure Holder for 8" Orbix"I'm not sure if it will work or not. We had a design meeting a few months ago about creating a couple of different gear storage options for the Orbix hatches. I'll follow up with the factory to see if any are going to…"
Chris Hill replied to Chris Hill's discussion Lure Holder for 8" Orbix"I found the one that Hobie sells called a Gear Box that fits an 8" Hatch, does anyone know if that will work on the Orbix Hatch?
Thanks, Chris"

I think I've seen a round single level plastic lure holder that sits inside an 8" Orbix Hatch, but I can't seem to find where it could be purchased. Am I crazy or is there something that is designed to fit on the lip of the Hatch that holds lures?Thanks, ChrisSee More
Chris Hill replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"I purchased the Tarpon 100 3 years ago and use it on smaller lakes and the Back Bay in Virginia Beach and love it. I've had it in the Ocean as well, but would probably prefer a 120 or the Ride 115 or 135 if that was my main fishing…"

Kayak Bass Fishing by Chad Hoover
Asked for this book for X-Mas and have started to read it. Half way through and it's been enlightening so far. Can't wait to get back out in my Yak once the weather up north turns back to spring (skiing takes up my winter fun time). Working on making sure I'm fully prepared for early spring Bass fishing by doing my homework now.

Bass Fishing in Bay Back, Virginia Beach
Took my new Tarpon 100 out in the Back Bay for some Bass fishing since the eco system has recovered very nicely over the past couple of years. Caught 4 early in the AM and 1 late PM with an old Jitterbug top floating lure.
Planning on going again tomorrow to see what I can stir up before heading to the beach with the family.
