Mission Bay, 11-13-15 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Harry Hill · 11-14-2015, 08:44 PM

My wife is an excellent fisher on her own but she has suffered some nerve damage that is affecting her hands and dexterity. So now even though we are fishing in separate kayaks I have to stay close in case she breaks off or needs me to do anything that requires finesse. So I'm thinking if we get a tandem then at least we will be close if she needs my help but I want a tandem that handles good as a single for when I go out by myself. I need a tandem with the seat far enough back that she can't smack me to easily when I'm being a smart ass. The Big Tuna is just too much for our budget as are most Hobies. The Pro Angler 2 looks good as does the Ocean Kayaks Malibu 2, I just don't want to have to set everything all up, I would prefer they are rigged to start fishing. I don't want much do I? Also it's better if the front seat doesn't face back because I don't want her to see when I'm making faces at her.
