thanks man. I would love to get out there Saturday, gotta work though. im also getting a little nervous about having a narrow twelve footer out there. Especially with all the grey suit reports. it would be the first time I take it in the ocean. I went tandem kayaking there out of OEX but our hobie was rock solid, i couldnt flip it if I tried. My kayak I feel (in lakes) like I could tip it easily with a push of a wake... maybe a couple more yaks on the lake and ill be more stable and have more confidence.

Side note; small world, I live in Menifee too. You fish any of the local lakes around here? Perris has been great for kayak bassing lately.
