SOLO SKIFF PROGRESS THREAD

[FISH11]

I don't see it as being different than on any vessel. All vessels handle a little sketchy on a following sea, unless they are powerful enough and have the right type of hull to ride at the same speed as the current swell. I been in high wind chop and current that made my Revo 13 ride worse than making it back in at LJ with over 30 gallons of sea water inside the hull on the only day I forgot the hand bilge pump. When I had fishing boats many years ago, I had some instances were if you don't slow down the following sea can almost come over or spin you around. It can feel like a pucker moment no matter what your in when Mother Nature has a little fit. It's like kayaks some can surf in and then there's the more popular brand which require jumping off or coming in backwards. Damn, Look at me an ex-hobie owner for a short time and I'm back to being one of those picking on them.

FKNA- the banter reminds me of the good old days. Good chit and I appreciate it.
Because of injuries IÂ’m totally out of the paddle game, no desire to peddle.
I got a 10hp Honda OB at the river w nothing to put it and seriously considering a solo to dick around on for shits and giggles. This would probably be fun as shit to run down the river to Havasu and cruise the chanel etc.
Can you cruise these things w a passenger or dog? Kick me in the nuts. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Where have you been, Jim. It is a little refreshing to have some of the back and forth as in the past. It helps to try and forget that things are still no were near normal. It's great getting out on the water. Have you been spending a lot of time out fishing from a boat now. Yeah, Andy must be busy with business opening back up. It's no were near, Yak Joe and Jorge, Ha ha ha.

Hey Mark, yeah, we had a good little run with so many crazy mofo’s, lol. The cycle of quality fish back then was unreal. Still hoping it’s a cycle and not worse. I’m doing the same thing, just have a few more options to fish other areas. Jim

Good to see you back here. Always loved your post, especially when you had multiple 40-50 lb WSB. I too miss the quality and quantity of trophy fish just a few years ago. Now it just seems so long ago.

Ok what did I miss?!?!? Had to take some time off the water for personal reasons.. Now I came back to kayaks peddling backwards, mini torpedo rockets and drama between ground men fighting over about everything/anything..

Can’t wait to start contributing again to the mess!

I feel the same way. All the new kayaks and such. And to think we used to use regular old non fishing kayaks with a milk crate and 5 gallon bucket. Lol
