kayaks? No gas, just human power.

I know what a skiff or boat can do but what about kayaks.
I like reading about kayak adventures.

Got outriggers mounted in case it gets too crazy out there

I gotta plan for the worse. Dont like the feeling of clinching my buttocks tighter than fresh meat at San Quentin for an extended period when mother nature gets angry but that's just my nervous nature.

My buddy tried those Ama's and they really slowed him down because they drag.

The key is to get on plane, the solo will literally skip across the swells and chop, you may get a little wet, but that's expected on these solos.

Never saw them in the front, could work.

Just for an update, a bunch of us went out and gave it a try for Local Tuna. As is often the case, with fishing, the fish don't care what plans you make. It was, as most times, still a great day on the water. It was great to have company and see the Solo Skiffs out so far, cover so much water, have so much fun all the while spending less than a Craft 6 pack of beer. The Tuna, will come and the FUN, will NEVER STOP.

Rough fishing out there, anyone with a 14’ or bigger skiff was at the 9 Saturday. I think we ended out past the fleet up by Torrey Pines, was roughly a 60mile round trip. Definitely will be back out there a lot this summer! Skiff handles offshore like a cloud.

Buddy hoped in on a paddy a speared a 15lb YT, but that was all. Not a ton of life, foamers would pop up then sink as any boat would approach, charter boats seemed to pick em off here and there with a shit ton of chum.
