i've done some paddling in the past, but only mixed in fishing while in a canoe. freshwater. but, the whole kayak fishing excursion sounds good to me, and i'd be willing to rent one. ecosports near sandbridge is renovating right now but should be open sometime in march, and lots of times they have coupons for cheap rentals. little island park might be a good spot to gather all the yakers if a tourney is in the future. has anyone tried a catyak? it is double hulled with canvas stretched across and a chair on top, sort of resembles a catamaran. anyway i'm in if theres a tourney. we could even try and get together some weekend for a comp with our feet in the sand. it would be a good way to meet some folks from the board and help raise a little money to keep it going. dubbloons for the winners of course.
