Steve,
Glad to see 'ya around, and THANKS for the report. I also got out with a freind and his son for a few hours tossing grubs from shore in OC and didn't raise too much either. It sure was nice out there today though...beautiful day.

I think you have the right idea about gettig used to being on the kayak again after not being on it for awhile. The more comfortable you are with it I think so much the better. Have you tried to re-enter it from the water yet? Just curious. Hope to fish with you again soon,
Perry

Hi Perry
Thanks for reminding me. No, I haven't tried a re entry yet. I have a Tarpon 160 (old style). It has always felt a little tippy, so I thought I would try to see what I could get away with.
It sure was nice to get out, what a beautiful day.
Southern Califronia in February ya gotta love it.
Hope to see you on the water.
Steve

that tarpon will feel lively however its not that easy to tip. i straddle it or sit side saddle and its just fine.

You're right
I was amazed at how far you have to lean to get it to tip over. Sitting sideways always felt weird to me, but after practice I feel much more comfortable.
