The Jackson big tuna fits my needs, however it looks fairly heavy. We have expierence kayaking and have rented for a few years now. We have done some tandem kayaking all over CA and HI...Fishing from a tamdem yak is another story I imagine! I'm full of questions on best yak options, launch spots, ability to convert a non fishing platform to a fishing platform, best racks for a suburban, etc etc etc.

I hear a lot about "demo" your choices first. Which San Diego outfitter allows demos and has a fishing platform?

Thanks mucho
