I took my daughter out fishing on the tandem fishing sot to the harbor. As you can see from the photo below, we had a very nice day for it.
The tandem handled extremely well! She tracks so easy and true that my daughter was able to paddle us along by herself as I set the lines, etc. We had a wonderful time together and caught some nice fish! Below are photos of her clowning around with one of the nice Striped Bass we caught.
Hearing what a good time we had, my son decided he wanted to go out with me the next day. The conditions were a bit rougher with a fair amount of chop and wind. The tandem handled it all quite easily and was extremely stable throughout. She is a perfect fishing platform! The fishing was outstanding. We had personal bests with the Striped Bass you'll see below. Most importantly, I had two great days out on the water with my kids. Doesn't get much better than that!

Re: Fishing w/kids on tandem fishing sot...
Great looking fish. I always wanted to go after stripers in the ocean. We had some big ones in Lake Havasu in Arizona when I lived there, but most were in the 1-5 pound range. They put up a great fight though.
I figure catching them off the east coast in their natural habitat would have to be so much better. You always seem to be getting the big ones.
