I pulled the trigger ?

I just got a Wenonah fisherman canoe. Very stable. I'm 6'5 and 275. Float tube with me in it on louisiana waters is alligator bait! ????

I just ordered a dobsyn swimbait Rod to throw large swimbaits. I was going to throw a tranx 300 on it but when I went to tackle shop they had a deal on the discontinued curado 300 e. Anyone use the curado for a swimbait reel?

I am going with the Wenonah thanks for all the input.

I have a truck with a t bar type rack attached. I used to fish out of a wilderness systems 160 then a KC Kayak. I would like to have the ability to bring my dog, wife, and or friend when I go fishing. I want to be able to bring more gear for a paddle/camping/fishing trip. The Wenonah is light. Made of Kevlar. I'm assuming it's pretty tough as well but I'm assuming. I have heard the sportspal isn't sturdy in terms of hitting a stump etc. i did heavily consider a native ultimate propel but still leaning more towards canoe.

I only hesitated because I heard there were quality issues with the sportspal

I am getting a canoe to fish out of. I am choosing between these two. There's not a way for me to demo either. I dont know know too much about canoes. If you were picking between the two, is one brand better than the other? The fisherman is more than twice the price but lighter. I will be fishing ponds, lakes, and the atchafalya basin.

I won't. I just can walk down to some lakes near my house and fish daily. Marsh is a 3 hour drive.

And I just lost this rat bait! Crap. I have to get a new one!

Thanks, I fish a ton, all red fish and speckled trout. I have an 18 year old and a 14 year old and expecting a new baby girl next mont, so I had to begin fishing closer to home. I can't do these 3 hour drives to the marsh, so I have picked up bass fishing. Watch videos, read, then go try. I am loving it.

I just started bass fishing a week ago. I caught my first bass on a River2Sea spinner bait. I missed 3 on a savage rat bait. This morning a big one, at least for me, crushed it! I cant figure out how to upload a picture so click here to see the fish

I own a twin troller and love it. I just put a little 2 stroke mercury 2.5 hp on it to get to fishing spots a little quicker. My son and I are both 6'5 and I weigh 270 he weighs 200 and we have zero issues fishing comfortably out of it together. We go in just as shallow of water is go in my kayak. I also take it to the marsh as well.

I've found the forum to be very useful. I am an avid saltwater fisherman. Red fish and trout specifically in Louisiana marshes. I recently have begun bass fishing. I'm loving learning finesses and techniques and building my skill sets as a bass fisherman. Love the forum.
