I've fished quite a bit in colman canoe (not the greatest canoe). The area I fish has little boat traffic and a few sand bars,which is great to give the lower back a rest. Like the guys are sayin, crush your barbs or put on a single hooks. We where in a blitz one morning this summer and I threw a 3-4# blue in the canoe , not a very good idea ta say the least......with lots of life left in him and no place fa him ta go , yup, had to get the hook removed,
I was askin for it alright. Summer time(during day light hours) is the safest time to be out there. Comunication with your partner is also key. The best thing is your mobil and you get access to killer spots(private
). Use the KISS theory ( keep it simple stupid) don't bring more tackel then ya need, things can and will get clutered in a canoe real fast, 7' rods tops. If ya fish out of a Great Canadian or Discovery which are far more stable, you'll wanna be out there more days which means more fish.
