#344874 Rigging Up Your Canoe For Fishing

Posted by Kokemachine on 19 August 2019 - 05:40 AM in General Fishing Discussion

Very true.  Any kind of motorized boat needs a license.  As well as being extra weight I have found the outriggers are a bit of drawback on slender rivers.  I mostly use it for fishing in my back yard on Nipissing.

I've never used those pontoon things but I can see how they could help but I really only use the canoe when it's portage trip and just more to carry. 

 

I personally always liked a canoe with the tri keel lines because I found them to be very stable compared to everything else not that I have ever really had a problem.

 

And don't forget if you run a trolling motor like I do so I don't have to paddle you are required to have your boaters card on you. 




#344841 Rigging Up Your Canoe For Fishing

Posted by Kokemachine on 06 August 2019 - 07:01 AM in General Fishing Discussion

Thanks, BRMZ.  In another forum it was pointed out that the safety equipment that I list as legally required is actually more than is legally required.  I think it never hurts to have more safety equipment than less.  Here are the legal requirements:

 

"Canoes•
Kayaks•
Rowboats•
Rowing Shells•
Other Human-Powered Boats


1.One (1) lifejacket or PFD foreach person on board
2.One (1) reboarding device (See Note 1)
3.One (1) buoyant heaving line at least 15 m (49’3”) long

If boat is over 6 m

4.One (1) watertight flashlight
5.Six (6) flares of Type A, B, C or D, only two (2) can be Type D.(See Note 2)
6.One (1) bailer OROne manual bilge pump (See Note 3) OR Bilge-pumping arrangements
7.One (1) sound-signalling device or appliance
8.Navigation lights(See Note 4)
9.One (1) magnetic compass(See Note 5)
10.One (1) radar reflector

Note 1: *If everyone on board is wearing a lifejacket or a PFD of appropriate size, you are only required to carry :
1) a sound-signalling device; and.
2) a watertight flashlight if the boat is used after sunset or before sunrise or in periods of restricted visibility."

#344792 Legendary Lures - My Absolute Fav Childhood Lure

Posted by Kokemachine on 15 July 2019 - 10:58 PM in Fishing Gear Talk and DIY Corner

When I was a younger man I used to absolutely love the Rebel Crickhopper.  It achieved a legendary status in my mind.  I caught everything on it.  Unfortunately, Rebel changed the size of the beads used in the rattle and the lure was never the same.  Do you folks have a lure that you hold with great regard?  Here's my vid talking about the Crickhopper.
