padlin Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hi folks, came here after a google search for Bass Raiders and stayed. Been a canoeist since the 90's, building strippers under the misguided impression that it'd be cheaper then buying. When my wife tired of paddling every weekend I started to fish when I went out. Bank fished a bit as a kid and have always done yearly boat striper and cod trips out of Cape Cod or Noank CT. but this was really my first try at learning to really fish. Self taught thru trial and error, in quiet no motor ponds. Had 2 fishing buddies that sadly can't fish any more so the last few years I go alone. Hoping I can get the grandkids into it now that I have the little Bass Raider, trying to teach a kid in a canoe is difficult at best, will find out come spring. Finding lots of good advise here, being self taught I only know a fraction of what you folks do. Never even heard of many of the techniques and baits you talk about. Looks like I'll need to get a bigger tackle box. FWIW, I fish St Croix rods with Stradics, have never been able to master a casting reel although I have a Curado setup that I try once in a while. Also have a fly rig that's fun but difficult to do in the canoe, will have to try it again with the Raider. Take Care, Bob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadiMopar Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Welcome from N. Central Bassachusetts. I do kayak fishing these days, and my oldest grandson is really looking forward to paddling and wetting a line with "grandma" this season. He's 15, so fishing from the bank isn't as exciting as it was when he was 6. I took him kayaking at 8 and he just didn't have the patience to sit still then, and his swimming skills weren't great...hopefully both have improved! So happy to see you're passing it on to the next generation. LadiMopar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padlin Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 My oldest grandson, 15, tells me he's ready to do some fishing this year. Then he mentioned he just doesn't want to touch them. Think I'll hand him a container of worms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
