All,

I have been looking at buying kayaks and I have to ask: I want to go fishing with my 13 yr old son. Although he is only 13 he is very tall and well built (not fat) for his age (probably 5'7" tall). Matter of fact he's the tallest kid in school. On top of that he seems to be pretty adept at paddling. Paddled the whole Elkhorn Slough last Sunday without a problem. And the current was crazy, could barely keep up.

As far as I can see, I have two options: 1) two single kayaks (Tridents, Prowlers...) or a double (Zest).

If something goes wrong... which is safer, two singles or a double?

Thanks,
-David

Hi,

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I go by Neemo on this board but my name is David and I'm a real newbe. Since I've just started kayaking (renting) I've kept to the Slough as I figured it's the place where I can get out of trouble most easly.

Althgouh I haven't fished from the kayak before (or on the ocean for that matter) I'm getting stuff ready for a fishing trip on the slough Sat/Sun (27th, 28th).

Question that I have for you guys is, whether the slough is a good enough fishing and kayaking ground to hone my skills on? I personaly love padling it, but I want to start fishing it as well. How productive is it or should I not waste my time?

I've been doing some research and it seem that leopard sharks are abundant in the slough so I'll probably start looking into hooking some of those...

Please bear with me as I'll probably be asking my questions in the near future...
