Dana Point 2\24... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

We stopped and chatted on the way out when you were trying to work out the issues with your rudder - just need to tighten down the steering cables at the connections at the rudder and you should be good to go.

Stop by and see Tim and he'll give you a quick lesson on how to do that but it's pretty easy to figure out.

Keep on the yak, my buddie and I each got a halibut within an hour or two - mine was 28" and was released, his was 38" and maxed out Tim's 25 pound scale.

Lots of bass out there right now in and around the kelp beds.

Sorry about the loose rudder for turning. I adjusted the rudder so it would go up and down easier. But never tightened it up for right/left turning. Here is a link to a pdf that shows how to adjust the steering (Steering Control Lines). It's pretty easy to do. By the way, your dad's dog is pretty awesome. I remember seeing him when I dropped off the Outback. Hope this helps.
