Link Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Well, it's a canoe! Going tonight to pick it up after finding it online, it's ain't the prettiest but for a 14 footer it was the best deal I could find. With a 5 month old baby, and not a whole lot of time to use it or money for a jon boat, I went ahead and made a deal on a canoe. Hell, it's got to be better then fishing from the shore when I do get out. Maybe I'll even get some nice seats for it Quote
Link Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks Aluma Just got in with it, 14ft, fairly lightweight. Sears Freestyle? Probably old as crap but it floats! Quote
slomoe Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Congrats man! I've been thinking of getting one as well. Quote
Btech Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Congrats nothing like owning yar first boat! Hope it brings lots of catches and memories for ya. Quote
mlpauley Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Congrats...Hope you catch a lotta fish in it Quote
fivesixone Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Congrats man! I just got a little 9 foot Pond Prowler and it's awesome! Way better than fishing from shore! Have fun! Quote
lv2fish Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Some people think it takes a 21 footer with a 250 on it to catch fish. They have 10 rods and reels they paid 400-600 each for. But all you need is to be on the water with a line in. The gear and the boat dont catch *****. Quote

Link Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 Took her out for her maiden voyage today after work, almost lost it on 288....Apparently we had an issue securing it. Were on Swift Creek Reservoir for about 2.5 hours, I got a little bass on a yamato worm...Not even worth posting that picture. Quote
SimonSays Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Awesome boat =D Gotta love being on the water for the first time! Lemme know the next time you head out to swift creek res, I don't get to fish it often enough! Quote
Link Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Will do Simon. Was looking at the yaks but my wife was anti me being out all day alone, like a canoe is that much better! I enjoyed it the first time I got out, had only ever been in a 16ft canoe a handful of times with a friend and the larger ones are def. more stable! Quote
