This time we're staying at the Miwapanee Dead Bear Bay Cabin.
So we're not as close to your neck of the woods as last trip, but if we head that way, we'll stop by for sure!
Thanks for the inivte!

My wife came into the office while I was editing my last post and asked what the "<-M" was, I said "let's give it a try".

Packed some more crap (more to come) and added this very important feature to the boat:





The boat already had about 10 cup holders in various locations around it but NONE within reach of the captain's seat!!!!
Talk about dangerous, what if the captain becomes dehydrated?
Total rookie design flaw IMO.

 Total bummer Brent! Goes to show ya that the designers aren't boaters. Look at American trucks, They all have several in reach of the driver. The Rednecks love'em! ;)  :)

Its been a while since anyone has posted on this thread so I figured what the heck.
Slapped my "Redneck canoe roof racks" on the truck tonight in preparation of our exploratory canoe trip planned this weekend.
Our plan is to drive up the Bearn road and paddle into Hunter's Point from the bridge to see the old settlement and church.
Should make for a fun trip.

cool job Wisers. I gotta do that trip next year. Been at my camp for 5 years and only been to grindstone a couple of times. Still only just starting to know my end of the lake. Lots of water just in the MacLauglan lakes alone. Interestingly tho, everywhere I go I find fish.

Hey Joe!
Its tougher to get out and explore when you own a place.
The obligation is to head to camp first, do the usual work (which is no small undertaking), THEN, if there's time left over go fish, explore etc.
At least that's what we found when we owned.
That being said, there's nothing quite like the feeling of saying "I have a camp on Kipawa" is there....

I'm a southern boy, I know redneck; I've been called one several times.
Those canoe racks aren't that redneck.   Stain or paint to match your rig and no one will know better.

Oh, by the way; my truck has 4 cup holders in reach.

Me and my wife took the boat out to a local lake for some recreation in retirement.  She caught her first ever largemouth bass, unluckily, it was a whopping 6 inches long. Also discovered that the rods she uses needs some attention so since then, I've been relining and rigging her rod and reels.

Put the boat away for the winter......since the boat and I really didn't "spend much time fishing together" this year I'm not sure how fishing related that is but...........

Bought my first fishing tackle of 2016... bass tackle, 4/0 offset hooks, 7" rubber worms with ribbon tails and 1/4oz slip weights... all I need to slay the bass... caught 8 last month in Florida using this method while visiting family.

Also, shopped for my next vehicle, fishing expedition worthy of course... no decisions yet but it's narrowed down to a Toyota, go figure.

One more cast...

Brought my boat back home from storage.  Batteries are on charger.  Tomorrow is overall cleanup and prep to take it out again before the end of the week.
