Yes, the idea of having romper room on the yak while trying to fish wasn't ideal, but I get to fish longer while the family is with me and happy. That was the reason for the surprise upon hook up and me flubbing the first 10 seconds...no way I figured I would hook up at that moment with all the commotion going on.

Thanks for the feedback on the two lines. I figure 1 was simpler, but I also was working under the "if one fish can't attract a bite, maybe with two will be twice as lucky" philosophy.

I'll try sticking with one fly lined bait to lower the complexity...and after my wife saw the shark on the way in yesterday I doubt she will want me to drag the kids as bait on boogie boards in the future!
