Sorry to hear how your day of fishing success turned into such a bummer. Glad to hear that no one was hurt. Nice of you Jim to offer a loaner. I am happy to see how many fellow yakkers out there offer help and assistance to other yakkers. Good karma!

I hope you get back on the water soon to have better experiences!

Hey Handyman, are you the same guy I met at Noah's who helped me with what I needed to buy for yak fishing at La Jolla? If so, you and Orca/Don were a great help and I appreciate your kindness. Sorry to hear about your yak! Hope you found another way to get out there and fishing again. I've been practicing the knots you two showed me and finally got the hang of them! I even made up a bunch of leaders like you suggested!

Hi Maggie,

Yup, that was I at Noah's. I am now calling those my pre kayak days.

I am glad that there was at least a bit that I could pass on! Hopefully it will lead to a great catch for you eventually!

An Update for the "highway kayaks":

Wess, up at Cobra kayaks has agreed to help us by attempting to repair the kayaks! We are waiting to see if they will be successful in that attempt. I will post the results of this attempt when I know.

Here are some cheesy camera phone pics of the yaks:

A little time with a heat gun and a soldering iron should fix 'er right up. If he can fix it you're going to have a great conversation piece there. You might also need to put a rudder on it to compensate for that S in your keel. Good luck. I hope he can make them seaworthy again.

Glad no one was hurt.

Wes Ogle is a good man. I' m confident he'll do everything he can to fix you up! He's helped some of my bros in the past! Including myself! Cobra is very good about things like this. Let us know how it turns out! Jerry/Piranha

Wow!!!! That yak took a beating!!! So sorry to see that! My brand new tie-down straps snapped when I was on the 5 going north a couple months ago and the front of my yak went flying off the side of my SUV. Luckily the back ones held on and no one was hurt. A couple of very minor scratches on my SUV was all, and an almost heart attack! I can't imagine what you went through when your yak went flying! I hope they can fix it for you so you can get back out there soon.
