Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post

I am not having the best luck on the bay lately, it's probably because I'm getting on the water to late in the morning, had a couple of bites on bait but nothing got stuck. Jigs and like went zippo. Still a beautiful day to be out there. Had the wife with me again in the Malibu Tandem, I'm sure glad it wasn't cold because my butt was wet from the beginning.The back seat doesn't drain at all but it sure does take on a lot of water, I think it's a pretty poor design as far as that is concerned. On the plus side it does paddle nice and seems to cover a lot of water easily. It's a little hard to set up for two fishing from it without getting in each others way but we manage. Other than being wet all of the time though it seems to be okay. I have already decided though that it isn't a permanent part of my fleet, there has to be way to kayak without having a soggy bottom all day. One thing I know though, I love fishing, even when I'm not catching fish, the only thing I like more is hunting.
