Back on the water

So, when your buddy comes to town and wants to fish and you had your spare single kayak stolen what do you do? You get in the tandem and get him a fish! I think I will fish the tandem more often.

Full marks.

Nice one.  Bet he was stoked.  Was it weird switching up to the tandem?

No. It was actually much more fun than I thought, and it was my first fishing trip on it. He wasn't used to salmon takedowns and missed the first one after I yelled "you've got a fish!" The one he caught was even more fun because after it went under and around the kayak, he accidentally loosened the drag and the line went limp for about 5 seconds. He handed me the rod, tightened the drag, and handed it back to him and he got the fish in. I guess that fish was destined for his table. Unfortunately, I didn't get a video of it. It would have been great. I introduce a lot of angler friends to kayak fishing and I think the tandem is a better way to do it. And it is much easier to troll with two people pedaling especially upstream during an outgoing tide. Sometimes we were going too fast.
