Fishing and Camping

[LostOne]

I was recently blessed with another awesome camping/fishing trip with my family.


I took my boys out (separately) in a wood-strip canoe my dad built for me years ago. They both were naturals. We caught a ton of whites and had a fish fry that night.



I did manage a morning of "Big Daddy fishing" as my kids like to call it.




Man, I am one lucky son-of-a-gun!

Beautiful canoe! Looks like the kids had a good time. Good parents = good kids. Nothing wrong with getting hooked on fishing at an early age.

Great family trip, something for everyone to talk about when the snow shovels come out.


Nice canoe Liam, how does that kyak paddle work?

Well guys, I know what your saying, but my father was not only the builder, he was also the one who convinced me to use it. It bothered him that I had it safely on display in my garage. He said he built it for me because he thought I would enjoy using it. Well, now it has been in the water about 5 times. I've paddled with my father twice , each of my sons and solo (everyone landed fish). I've been careful with it, but I haven't changed my methods much. I won't lie, it's got a couple new scratches, but I already know what my Dad will say..."gives it character." I do appreciate what you are saying though.

Hey Bob, 
   Thanks. I got that paddle about 6 or 7 yrs ago from my wife as a gift for use with a 14ft plastic canoe I used to solo with, but that winter my ignorance led to my canoe getting crushed by snow and ice. Anyway, this was my first time using it. I think I like it a lot. I'm pretty used to an old wooden LL Bean paddle, but I think the kyak paddle combined with the lightweight canoe is a little smoother,easier, even faster (when you want).
Good to see you got some nice stripers Bob. What do you target in the fall?
