My First Fish in the Sportspal Canoe
10.25.17
We did some site seeing in the canoe today. We went way up a creek we had never been able to venture and looked around and enjoyed the bird life. Fishing on the way out, I lost a nice trout.
We tried a new hole in front of the creek and after plenty of short strikes I was able to post my first
(non-keeper) trout out of the low rider.

We continued over to a row of docks by the house and I bagged a nice keeper trout that also became dinner.
We pulled out and I got a picture of the Sportspal in the water.
I can't figure out how to pack the thing. I still have stuff everywhere in the boat.
It's pretty much a joke when a fish gets on clearing out tackle, life vests, boxes, etc. to get to the net.
Should be interesting when we get on the big reds.

Sea Craft Gone, New Yacht Now Being Fished
10.21.17
Sold the Sea Craft last week. I just couldn't continue to clean and maintain the rig in this jungle heat of the South Carolina low country.
Lots of blood and sweat went into that boat. Fished really good, got us back to the hill every time, even when chasing grouper 20 miles off shore. Hated to see it go, but I surrendered to age, (mine and the boat's) and was time to move on.
But, went WAAAY the other way.
Now driving a 15' Sportspal canoe with a 4 HP kicker and a one quart gas tank.
And Nancy broke it in yesterday with the first fish brought boat side. She continued to lose a redfish and another trout.
I am currently bite less, but hope it will change the next time out.

It Was Blowy!
Yea! It's October 1! Yea it was cool...64 degrees. Boo it was very windy!
Nancy is flying a trout kite, which she caught a bunch, but none big enough to be legal by the man.

I started catching up with a bunch of these guys eating my Zman Diesel Minnow.
But my best bites were the two trophy blue crabs I caught. Never done this before.
