I can't tell you how stoked I am to read your post. You have my exact kayak.. even the color Oasis tandem is the same! I have to get some more details and look into this some more!

ps... Honcho, let's get on this?!

i have an oasis too. i usually sit in the front seat for better control, and use it like a hobie pickup... bait tank and gear in the back. if i were to surf launch it, i'd guess that i'd sit in the front to launch and in the back to land... hmmm... i'll go try it an let you know how it goes...

That is awesome!! I am in the same situation you were in a year ago. I have been fishing my whole life but I had the rude awakening that there is a ton of things to learn about yak fishing. The cool guys at OEX in Oceanside told me that they would help me along but time has been the issue with me also. After reading about your incredibly entertaining trip and seeing the pics I am in. That is sooo motivating to me that I am definitely going to try La Jolla asap. I hope I have at least a fraction of the day you had. Thanks for sharing.. I am truly Bent..
