GotGuinness?

I'll be canoeing the Saco Friday and Saturday and heading back Sunday, can anyone give me any tips on what baits to use? I've had lots of luck on the swimming Senkos lately, specifically Pumpkin..but that's here in MA in ponds and small lakes, not a river...any tips would be great, i'm leaving tomorrow.

anyone?

So my buddy has a house down in Rutledge, TN. I believe he said he's right on Lake Cherokee? He has a small boat...We're leaving Saturday from Boston and staying till the 5th of July. Any tips on what's been working down that way, any help would be great as I have never done any southern fishing before, not to sure if it's any different...I'm hoping bigger fish though!! Any tips on bait, techniques, spots, etc. would be awesome, thanks!

Water will be warmer due to the shalow depth, not becuase of the current. Current makes for a great ambush spot on that bush. Don't hesitate to cast further up into stream as well. Got 3 LM over 4lbs on three cast last year around this time on a top water Rago rat(Original jointed version) But also do well with jigs so your shiners should do the job. Just drew that scetch for you! Here are some my favorite spots :-X not all some. Arrows indicate where to fish,Good luck!

Water, Sunflower seeds, bag of chips, energy bar, Marlboros and Sam Adams Summer Ale.

SeaEagle Foldcat? Not plastic, but very stable and quite large area for walking without the front seat. Just google it or search sea eagle on this site, i just made a post earlier with my experience.

Hey Scott, I'm from the Boston area to (Dedham), and also new to the boards... let me know if you find a hot spot and I'll do the same!! Best of luck. - Liam

I bought one last summer as my first boat after graduating college..it had only been used a handful of times. I believe they run $1200 new, without the trolling motor and whatnot? Anyways, I ended up talking the guy down from $900 to $600 , this included everything in the angler package, plus a very good minkotta trolling motor i believe 60 thrust for both sea and freshwater, battery charger and deep cycle battery..>If youre going to buy one I suggest looking at the wantad or something similar for a used one..they hold up FANTASTIC, very sturdy...My friend and I went out, he weighs about 280 lbs, and even he was comfortable standing up and fishing from the slats, overall this is a GREAT boat and I wouldn't have bought anything else for the money... Ive taken this thing into very tight spaces, its very versatile and tough and can easily be rowed for a pontoon style boat. I got some of the sample material before i bought it that Sea Eagle sends you and I tried puncturing it with everyhting I had, and it barely made a dent, nevermind having this stuff tear up on you. Only complaints is the ability to lift up the trolling motors blade out of the water, I have to loosen the post and lift it up for there to be enough clearance to get the prop completely out of the water, i'd also suggest getting a longer handle for the motor as It can be tough reaching down while sitting up on the pedestal to get the boat to where you want it, also the amount of space on board for miscellaneous stuff i.e. cooler, large tackle box, etc. I plan on mounting my fishfinder this year to a piece of wood and strapping it down on one of the slats with a few bungee cords, along with that i'm going to try and find a way to make some sort of makeshift portable storage compartment that I could possibly have off to the side for the boat, although im a bit worried that it may not work out as planned and the stuff would be long gone if it didnt work out right :-/ Ive also been thinking of taking a couple slats of wood, staining them to be waterproof, and placing them inbetween the metal slats to have a full on walking deck instead of just the metal slats. I may be getting to far ahead of myself here. Another thing that WAS a bit misleading was the boat from car to water in 10 minutes, and only having yourself to do so...not true. If you are not Heman, this boat can be kind of awkward to carry singlehandedly for more than 15 feet or so, but if you have a dolly or something it makes it pretty easy, 2 people and youre golden, but I'd go ahead and say start to finish ( carry boat to shore along with accessories, get it pumped up, battery and trolling motor hooked up, and out on the water...15 to 20 minutes AT BEST. Id highly reccommend the electric pump that automatically stops when the boat is at the precise PSI level. All in all, I would definitely reccommend this boat to a recreational fisher all the way up to a seasoned Vet. I am more on the rec side as I just started, and I couldn't ask for more out of this boat, Ive gotten multiple compliments from friends and strangers alike. On that note, I should probably get back to work, feel free to ask any questions, like I said, I am nowhere near a Bassing Pro, I just own the foldcat and am just a guy that likes to go out a few times a month and try and snag a few fish, but I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for reading. All the best, Liam
