Pardon my ignorance, but what is CWC?

Go to Fishing posts on this site the #2 post is titled NO SEA LIONS IN SIGHT by C.W.C. Check it out

After a fishing trip one day.... Unpack all your gear except paddle and seat. Strip down to your boardies, and let her rip. You'd be shocked at the waves you can make. Dog-patch is perfect for kayak surfing. Turmo is good too. Most important is learning to brace properly.

It truly is awesome the waves you can get on a kayak

Nah, you can't surf a Trident 13, but a 15? Check out this from about 1:50 on.

Just kidding about the 13.

don't forget the great upper body workout that comes along with paddling ;) :paddleersmilie:

Pfssssst

You should see what my legs look like from pedaling, I've been told I have legs of steel

A few bluegill huh.......

:reel:Yep

I think speed makes a big difference. Even a 0.5 mph increase is huge for a yak. Who wants to blow an hour minimum just traveling 3 miles in a slow yak? Add some wind and it can easily be a two hour energy dump.

I'm going to charge my GPS so I can see what kind of speed I'm getting with my yak. Just guessing I'm going about 3 mph but I could be way off. I'm going to Silverwood tomorrow so I will be able to test it.

Does everyone pedal?
 

You should be faster on a fresh water lake as compared to the open ocean.

I just took my kayak to a lake last month for the first time and I was shocked at how much faster it was on a calm fresh water lake.

And instead of struggling to stay in one spot over structure like on the ocean I had trouble with overshooting my intended spot

The kayak seemed like it would never come to a stop on fresh water. It felt like I used surf wax on the bottom of the kayak or something

A couple pedals and it just kept gliding and gliding

Steel leader???

I started out paddling but after a major flare-up of my "De Quervain's" syndrome after repeated outings, I realized and confirmed by my Orthopedic Surgeon that paddling was not going to be practical in my future. :( :mad:
So I decided on pedaling (Outback).
FFY :sifone:

I never got my GPS charged and I found out my fish finder doesn't show speed, so no report on how fast I am. I did manage to catch a small striper this morning so it's a fish fry for dinner tonight. Another fisherman clued me in to what the stripers were doing so next week should see a few more in the boat.Paddling was pretty fast this morning on smooth water but when the wind came up it got slower.
