Ohhhh just don't write these reports nearly as often as I used to, especially outside of the winter months. Got the Covid this week though and that coughed up enough time to get spewing some out. For any interested, here's a latest about gar. Bit of a recap of this season along with some of my history and how it follows along with the OFAH records and other big fish caught over the years. Sorry, you'll have to link on over to my site if wanting to view.... https://bunksoutdoorangle.com/ottawa-river-gar-for-the-record/ Enjoy what's left of summer and into fall.

Bunks still the goat! Great stuff as always

You have water in the oil ,drain it and put in fresh gear oil and you should be good for a day or two

It will run poorly because the thrust angle is off. It could put excessive pressure on the transom. It may or may not get on plane. You will draft deeper so it would be easier to strike rocks. For the most part I wouldn't do it. Art

I don’t know about the spec plate. But the engine is a long shaft.

Never trolled out of a canoe, but that, the rod holders or line shouldn't have much effect on line twist, line type, diameter can affect trolling depth. Some crank baits need to be tuned to get them to run well, and some seem more susceptible to damage that affects their running properly. The old storm hot n tots metal bill could break loose from the plastic and get water inside making them spin, and if you have 100 - 150 feet of line out? by the time you notice you have line twist.

You will need proof of being DOUBLE vaccinated. The second dose must be a minimum of 14 days before you cross the border. You will also need to download the ArriveCan app, fill it out, and upload doc's. Of course, you also need a valid passport.

Crankbait shouldn't twist , if the spoon is too fast it will spin instead of roll back and forth, slow down.

A spoon will definitely twist your line...vibration won't. Use a good quality ball bearing swivel...in either combination with your snap or between your leader and main line, and you should be fine.

Type of lure?
