On-Topic (and My Apologies)
I realized my selfishness in watching the news of the moment compelled
me to make an off-topic post about Hillary and the Dow. I should move the TV so I can't see/hear it from the computer. Nah. We all know off-topic stuff is frowned upon here, so I'll try to make amends with this on-topic post. What's boat would you like to have, other than the one you currently own? But only what you can afford. What do you think of O'hara's Tolman? Could O'hara and Eisboch pool their resources and invent a new boat? Ever want to build your own boat? (Don't answer, Scotty) Anybody here actually fish from a canoe? Ok, that's enough for now. --Vic |

I'm thinking of pulling an Eisboch, selling the boats I have now, and buying a new boat after the "thaw." 2. Not to my taste. I'd rather have a nice dory. 3. Eisboch might; O'Hara's would blow up. 4. Nope. Though I did help build a couple of boats for others. 6. Yup. |

Out on the Shenandoah and some of it branches. Very light spinning gear for smallies, and light fly tackle for trout. It's no big deal to cast small spin or fly tackle from a canoe. We have a half interest in an Old Town model 169, green, which we bought used from an outfitter. We bought a used canoe previously from the same outfitter, and literally wore it out. |

I always wanted to do a couple week canoe trip in the Boundary Waters - Minn/Canada border. Walleyes and Northerns were the attraction, though it's supposed to be pretty up there too. I understand there's some hassle in getting camping permits last I looked. Anyway, I've given up on fresh water, and prefer salt. Was surprised to see a kayaker fishing by the Sunshine bridge in Tampa Bay, and wondered how he would land anything of size. He never got close enough where I could talk to him. But it did look like it could be fun. Cheap, if strenuous. --Vic |

Cheap, if strenuous. --Vic I wouldn't go canoeing or kayaking in waters where there are lots of other boats, especially large powerboats. When we lived in Florida, I saw canoes and 'yaks swamped/tipped a couple of times by passing powerboats. No one was hurt, but they could have been. Where I canoe, there really are no powerboats of consequence, just canoes and rafts, the river isn't too wide, and in many places it is only waist deep. Or less. Perfect for a klutzy canoe guy like me. I love the river there because the water is crystal clear much of the time, the river bottom is spectacular and the banks are both rural (with cows) and heavily wooded. Very pretty. |

So you have a quarter interest in a canoe and ZERO interest in a house. Sucks to be you, WAFA. |

You may have to live in it if you **** off the old lady. |
