Tandem Kayak Fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a PA17, it is good to go single or double. I take my grandkids, friends or just go solo in it.

It's an investment to be sure, but it has been nice to be able to take others out.

If you both have a single you can cover more water and share fishing info while on the water. Like others have said there will be times where only one of you can go fishing so a single will be easier on that person.

If you both have a single you can both set up your kayaks to your own personal preference. It may cost a little more to outfit both kayaks but it will be worth it.

IMHO. I think two singles will be better for your marriage. Speaking from experience. Even if you always fish together just that little separation will be golden. It also give you both the opportunity to have little one on one competition. (speaking from experience with two wives and forty years of marriage)
And lastly if one of you quit fishing you can sell one of the singles and the other one can still fish

i have a hobie oasis that i use to take my two boys out. i also take my girlfriend, or other buddies out. it can also be a great platform for hooping (its like having a hobie pickup). it's an all around great kayak that i would recommend highly (if you use it...), but i am now looking to upgrade to a pa17... and btw i have a trident 4.7 for solo days...

the best thing about the tandem is I can sit in back and watch the wife paddle, as long as I wave my paddle around once in awhile she thinks I'm back there paddling also.
