Canoe has been tested!

[exMember]

Brother, nephew, nephews friend and I loaded the canoe onto the truck ( I made a rack for it) and took off the to lake around noon.

Bubba had his first fishing trip ever and I think he enjoyed himself. He had his fun in the lake and then my nephews friend and I took him for a long ride in the canoe and he just sat there, laid down, sat and watched the waves come by.

Brother and nephews friend,

Nephew and his friend

My nephews friend up front caught a nice one! He had a BIGGER one but it hopped off the hook when he brought it up, You should have heard the swearing bouncing off the walls around the lake!  :lol:

Looks like you guys had a good outing !

I like Williams resavour

 

[exMember]

yeah Williams is a good one! I caught some nice ones there. North Lake down by us isn't to bad. Wind was horrible most of the day so fishing out of the canoe was hard due to you always getting blown back into shore lol.

Ever try an anchor?  :lol:

I thought of it but wasnt sure how useful it would be on something like a canoe. I'd have to have a lot of rope when I get to the middle of the lake.

Pretty cool Jon.

Make sure you anchor from the stern so you don't have to turn around in a canoe. Also you can cast with the wind that way.

I got a collapsible 3 lb. claw-type anchor from Cabela's for my canoe. It works if it's a rough bottom or there are lots of weeds to catch the light anchor. It doesn't work well in a strong wind on a mud or sand bottom.

8) ...Compared to shore fishing FG, your canoe is going to open-up your fishing options big-time  :!:

Jon, What's with the cross-handed paddling?

 

[Muley Hunter]

They aren't switching hands when going from side to side.

 

[exMember]

heck if i know lol. They probably switched hands to go in another direction and didnt correct the hand holds. I caught myself doing it to.
