I still haven't done any serious two person fishing from my tandem yet, but I figure anything that involves a lot of casting is out. Fishing with one of my kids (oldest is 10) has worked out fine.

Two adults sits you low in the water. We can both cast okay, the guy in the back just needs to watch what the front person is doing. The biggest problem is getting the back rods out of the way when you are both paddling, If the rod is to far forward the front guy hits the rods with his paddle and if too far back the back paddler is hitting the rod. The scuppers never drain and I get a wet butt no matter what.

Sorry it was so slow. At least you got though. How was the wind?

How is Steve feeling and how is your back? My old rotator cuff injury flared up today and got a little uncomfortable. I think I irritated it by starting to do push ups again, I noticed I was sore afterwards, I guess I'll knock those off.

I'm still working things out, it's fine when I'm fishing solo. My other problem is tackle boxes, I tend to carry to much gear. Today I took a bigger box and it was horrible in the way.

Yeah, I don't have a great solution for that either. I have been thinking about maybe securing down a sweater box type of container inside the hull under the large rectangular hatch to hold such things. I use a crate when solo. I have a waist pack that holds a few 3700-sized trays that I clip to the front seat. It works well, but I have my doubts that it will stay put it I roll over. I'm actually starting to rather enjoy the legroom I get when using this kayak solo.
