Welcome aboard, Gavin! Some great advice from @WdyCrankbait. Can't really add more, but totally agree with him that it's more a finesse game in these parts. Keep at it, mate!

Having done both, I prefer the kayak route; HOWEVER, that's single, not tandem. I have done canoe with 3 people fishing. I think money speaking, a canoe will be much cheaper allowing for multiple people and trolling motor. Either way, I'd make sure everyone wears a PFD for life . Good luck with your choice.

Welcome aboard! Lots of kayakers use Harbor Freight's "cheap" trailer and DIY mod it. Here's one on YT:

LOL. Big, small, use what you like. Goodness. I use 1000 for ALL my bass fishing (spinning) and have caught dozens of bass over 6 pounds. I prefer smaller reels, lighter setups. I've used 1000 for inshore fishing, too. Now there I'd probably prefer a 3000 for the sheer size difference of species. With braid, a 1000 can hold plenty of line. I've never worried about getting spooled in freshwater. All that said, today's reels are getting smaller and lighter with higher line capacities. One of my sons just bought an Abu Inshore 4000 and it's pretty sweet. The Tatulas are sweet reels. BTW, my Stradics have 7lbs of drag. The palm of my hand provides the rest in conjunction with rod power selection. All works as a unit. Good luck on your choice(s).

It's a rig up that works! Used it myself a few times over the years.

Good luck! Never fished down there (South Side), but there are a LOT of good lakes (not to mention ocean fishing spots) in that neck of the woods.

Always great to get back on the water, stretch your legs, wet a line and haul in a 4 pounder . I can't be on the water as often these days, either. Life goes on...like you, I get on when I can.
