The Kayak Kid

I hear ya. I'm taking my boy with me, so worst-case scenario, we have fun swimming and canoeing. But I'll be grumpy if I don't at least catch a couple nice ones.

I know a guy who swears by the stretch around Birds Nest. He has caught some heavies around there, and has always encouraged me to check it out.

X2 with Terrieman, got the 15 MR Legend- agree with his evaluation totally. If the Camper is anything like the Legend it would be perfect for solo use and OK tandem.

I use mine 95% of the time solo and only go on a trips a minimum of 2 nights and 3 days. When tandem, you do have to be careful if you are both fishing, but it fits everything I need. Shallow draft, light, versatile and easy to load. I could probably get by with a 17 foot, but for my use it would just be too much.
