The recent flood of posts for help is a cool indication that the sport is really starting to boil. however, the many reports of guys out on the big water ( even worst, alone ) on their first thru 10th attempts @ yak fishing is scary insane. i've been in this thing for about 4 yrs. on 3 yaks and have dumped all but one ( no doubt soon to come after stating it ) and i don't consider myself much more than a novist. u guys should really ssslllooooowww down. hone your skills at your local lakes and bays for a while. get to know what your yak can do first. hell, i'm consantly tweeking my yaks to reach the ultimate fishing machine point but i never try out even the simplest modifications on the big water before testing it in the ponds. the ocean is beautiful, but its like driving the open road. you can putt-putt around town forever with a piece of junk and make it just fine, but put it on the open road and cheap tires shred and old hoses explode. make sure that your skill base isn't that hose or re-cap. part of the fun of it is going home to those who rely on your sound judgement. all good things take some time, right:)
