I was originally planning to hack it up and put it on the back and wire the controls to the seat area while the prop and shaft stay in the back, but I figured this would be the easiest way for now while the motor is still under warranty and gives me a project for the winter if we wind up with another crap ice season again... lol I used to power my old canoe with a 30. Moved real nicely, so a 38 should do ya great. I went with 40 this time because the kayak + gear is heavier than the canoe I had. I gave the old motor away to my brother years ago so he could use it on his duck boat.

Thanks! It's an exciting add-on for sure. I can't wait to test it out this week.

40lbs thrust.

This guy managed to get his target and a wild shot with the camera.

Just finished putting together a trolling motor mount for the kayak. Hoping to test it out this week to see if I need to make any adjustments before I spray paint it, but so far so good!

Thanks! I've always loved Brook Trout fishing, but you're right it does mean an Escape from the Region. I just make sure that I have a big thermos full of coffee and I hit the road.

I anticipate more joiners closer to the date. I'm waiting to sign up for the Simcoe one because I want to see what the weather is doing first. but I AM getting the yak ready in the meantime.

Did you sign up for the Simcoe one?

1000%! Next I've got to get him out trolling for pike again.

I will absolutely cherish them.

Congrats!

Thanks!

Finally was able to get after some Brookies on Thursday. Picked up my Dad and best fishing buddy on the way and off we went. This is the first time in a long time that we've Brookie fished together and I'm so proud that he actually did it. Walking rivers ain't easy. Man, I love seeing how excited he gets and it becomes very clear to see where I get that excitement from lol. We ended up with three decent keepers and stocked up on a few Chubs for the ice season to use as tip up bait. I wouldn't say that this is the most productive day I've ever had brook trout fishing, but it was a great day for the memory bank regardless.

Congrats!

I was just going to see the OKBT thread and everything was gone. Had me wondering if I imagined the whole thing before seeing this post LOL

Thats a good find!

Thought of bringing a dipsy diver with me on some Backcountry trips before. I'm just worried about how well they'd work if I'm in the canoe paddling.

My first car was a Saturn Vue. That thing was great! it had a fish holder for when I forgot bags. LOL

That's rough. Hope your hand recovers quick!

Guys, Country music is where its at for the fishing and hunting beats! I'll drop a few songs from my Hunting playlist on Spotify.

I didn't seem to have an issue when I filled it out. I wonder if it's a system glitch. Maybe try again in the morning.

Of course some comments were made in fun and not to be taken too seriously. If I'm not mistaken, the correct protocol is to send a photo and report sightings/location to the Invading Species hotline.

Hmm... Wonder if they'd let me hunt in the hunting aisle?

Be cool if it became like when you snipe a coyote while Deer or Turkey hunting. Has anyone seen one in Niagara? I haven't.
