mother-ship idea - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Seems obvious the reason to do this would be to help share your fuel costs but I'd have to think a % of your time will be babysitting and taking on some liability. Yaks in or on the side of a boat loaded would require fairly good conditions both ways or stuff will get damaged (most guys want to get home as quickly as possible).

How far in distance would you leave (2) yak fisherman if the bird school's moving 5 knots up the line? I don't know how much shit I've broken up pounding after a school or even just riding home against a cross swell.

You can pretty much give up paddie hopping, chasing bird schools, putting out a pattern of jigs, stopping on a meter mark...might as well handcuff yourself if you're real intention is to put a bend in your rod...

Skipjack or something simuliar to fish and save my back, works for me!
if my Doc's do their job I may get to kayak but if not I'm gonna think of a way to enjoy the sport and share the fun in the process.
I wouldn't tax the few gray cells on this site if I didn't think it could be done.
I'm making a list of the nay sayers!

I'm only half a call away. I don't work all summer. I'm really good at scrubbing decks.
