Non-Fishing Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Saba Slayer · 02-01-2017, 08:03 AM

I know I must need to have my head checked...I went out without a fishing pole yesterday...

The wife and I needed some R&R time so we put the new Tandem Island in the water for her first sail. WOW...what fun and so much room on that beautiful boat...

The wind was a little weak in the morning so we did some pedaling with the new 180 Mirage Drives...with two people peddling that yak really gets up and moves...I lost my hat in the wind later and we had to use the reverse drive to retrieve it...that new 180 reverse is pretty cool.

It's a big kayak at 18' so it takes some effort and two people to move it around and set her up...but once she's on the water...it's nothing but FUN!
I can't wait to get offshore and do some trolling this summer.

Awesome! Excited to see what you get yourself into this spring/summer

Also curious to see how you would rig that thing for an offshore trip - post up a photo when you get her all put together for that type of thing! Are you going to troll a spread? haha outriggers?

I love that harbor, I have a couple spots near by for Bonito year round if you want a PM

. Decent size too 3lbs average but up to 7.
