I didn't remember my blackouts. But other people did.

That is not a "$50.00 " canoe..... if u ever see mine... u will se a REAL $50.00 canoe !

that is great progress wayne...

Hey Dana: My $50.00 Sportspal leaked a little bit too when i got it... I kept a big sponge in the bailing bucket to get rid of the excess water I bought the 3m seam sealer ( from a marine store) and sealed it from the outside..... the key is to let it DRY for a few days before putting it back in the water... and if it is humid and hot where u are... (let it dry even longer than the suggested time on the package.) I am Looking forward to your pics and the first pics of fish u catch on it.... happy cruising

and the smile says it all ...

very nice...

I think we have matching Sportspals.. Beat the crap out of them and they just LOOK BETTER!

ask away Shad..... this site has been very helpful for me.... No such thing as a dumb question either.....

yep.... pond scum ad topwater explosions through it.... sure beats reeling in a lure and not even knowing if a fish tried to stike it

With the muggy weather around here, I was just plain lazy to go all the way over to my storage shed ( 5 blocks away) and drag my canoe out to the local reservoir... What a bummer.... I missed the first day of POND SCUM My FAVOURITE time on this particular water is when it gets all matted up like this . Topwater frogs are my go to lure out there and sometimes a Texas rigged Senko if I have the patience for it. I had a lot of blow ups yesterday and a caught a couple of small LM bass. This one was only about 2-3 lbs but he blew that frog a foot out of the water from below and therefore EARNED A PIC ON OFC He fought like a trooper for the first few yards,,,,and then it must have opened it's jaw WIIIIDE OPEN because he weighed about 10lbs by the time I got him to shore with all the weeds and scum on him. Oh well, I know where they are and I can drag the Sportspal out next weekend.

u got the " I ain't a particularly small person " RIGHT ! Not sure about the details of the tackle though Oh yeah, nice fish too SHREK !

hey dana.... I have a $50.00 Sportspal too.... with 35lb thrust Motorguide electric trolling motor on it. I love it. For the most part, it is very stable.... unless u pull a bonehead movelike I did last summer when I was releasing a decent sized pike and leaned over the edge TOO FAR! I have used the foam blocks on my roof top with no problems. The price is right and u will be on th water just about anywhere. Go for it. U will have ablast and when u can afford something bigger, you will know what you want by then. I also have a 12 foot tinnie... that i put on the roof of my van and now in the back of my pick up truck..... it's ok, but if I buy another another tinnie it will be a 14-16 footer instead. If I had to lose one of them, it would be the tinnie hands down. Happy boating and come back here with pics of the fish you catch bro.

very nice....

welcome.... and we have die for "grey " beards in Canada, eh

looks like it was a fun day

a normal day of fishing has me searchng for a place to park my vehicle to sleep in for the night. Then go back at it the next day and then drive home.... completely exhausted and looking at my gas guage thinking.... Loblaws fish counter looks cheaper every week.
