Rick D. Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 For those looking into the future for a canoe, kayak, inflatable, PFD or paddle get the Dececmber/Janurary Canoe & Kayak Magazine. It is the 2008 Annual Buyers Guide with the manufacturers, products and details for the inquiring boater. I have these since the early 90's and find them handy when looking for, information about or sharing with others in search of a paddleborne watercraft. Check at a hard copy stand in your area.

SKollmann Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 As an ISA member with an equal interest in canoeing, I find that when my wife and I are not paddling with the Prairie State Canoeists (PSA) of which we and 500 other interested local paddlers are members, I get quite excited about float fishing for river smallies with my 17' Wenonah Spirit II kevlar canoe. For added stability, I equip my canoe with sponses (pontoons), attach a trolling motor to a side motor mount, and clamp on a Bottomline Fishin' Buddy fish locator which has both vertical and horizontal transponders. Paddlin' with my wife . . . and float fishin' with the guys . . . now that's a lifestyle I truly appreciate! Couldn't agree more with Rick's suggestion to purchase the Buyers Guide if you're a potential paddler. Each annual edition includes a wealth of valuable information about the sport, including descriptions about each watercraft plus info associated with equipping and paddling your watercraft . . . so if the spirit moves you, go for it. I found the guide to be an excellent resource before I bought my canoe . . . and now that I have one, I still look forward the this annual edition. Trust me . . . a canoe is not a canoe is not a canoe. The selection and options are limitless, so be an informed consumer before investing in a paddlin' watercraft plus all the required or desired accessories.

Jonn Graham Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 In addition, anyone into Kayak fishing really should get the new book by Jeff Little. I have it and it is outstanding. Not only about Kayak fishing, but also some great tips about targeting trophy smallmouths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
