Ya gotta luv it, right in the backyard of 10 Million people! Nice fish!
I used to us a medium sized Kelly Green "Nasty Boy" spoon for them.
What release are you using?
I owned a Sevylor inflatable Canoe & it was not much fun. I did float the Credit R. from Old Derry to the Lake.
Honestly, I find them flimsy,cramped & useless on a windy lake. Cheers Dan
You already answered the question your self bro. You need a shorter rod to be comfy, that 8'er makes a good troller or pier rod.
A great excuse for a new rod, eh?
