So, looking at ways to get my middle child and me out on the water. I have experience paddling pontoons on creeks and rivers, but don't thing pontoon is the way I want to go. Wanting something that will fit both of us (kids 6'4" and 250lbs, and I'm 6' 1" or so and well a bit heavier than him), and is man portable once we get to fishing area. As for uses, mostly ponds and lakes, with occasional trips to the coast for bay fishing for rock fish. Not as brave as Roger, so don't expect to be out in open ocean slaying halibuts and leviathans. I've been researching SOT tandem fishing kayaks and really thinking that's the way I want to go. Paddle should be fine to start as long as we don't have a double hook up, since one can paddle while the other lands fish. In the even of a double hook up...fire up the camera, should be a show. Was thinking rigid hull and either load on top of the explorer or use a trailer if needed, but have also seen some inflatables that seem as though they might be doable (shrug). Really like the idea of tandem, but maybe there are advantages to two singles that I'm not seeing yet?? Anywho, I'm going to keep on checking NorthWest Kayak anglers web sight, but wanted to ask you fine folks your thoughts as well. Heck, maybe there's some other option than kayaks that would be a better fit. Like I said, just looking for suggestions thoughts advise etc. Thanks in advance.
Oh, one last thing, budget wise, not made of money so as much as I'd like to get a pair of Hobies like Roger uses, way out of my price range at this point.
