Maiden Boat Launch and then Fishing After

This is the boat I just finished building.  It is a pirogue(flat bottom canoe that can go in very shallow water.  Designed and built it myself.

I took it out on the big lake by the pool.

Then I met Bigfoot at Cedar and caught these two.

I caught these two the day before Easter along with five others.

Yesterday we waded the potomac by the algonkian boat ramp and came out with no fish.

Re: Maiden Boat Launch and then Fishing After

Forgot to mention the boats name.  I decided to change the name to whatever girl I am dating at the time or if I meet an attractive girl I can tell her my boat is named after her.  As of now the boats name is "     "

Charlie,

That is an outstanding work of art!! You should be very proud.

Can I expect you and bigfoot to do a float on the 'doah or Potomac later this year? As soon as the water warms, I will taking my kayak on some floats!

Re: Maiden Boat Launch and then Fishing After

There are a couple of put ins that are less than an hour from here and are very flat floats....no rapids to speak of...but some decent fishing for smallies.

Re: Maiden Boat Launch and then Fishing After

The float goes over rocks so I would be nervous about a wood boat. Might be better off in a plastic boat. You guys can always use my canoe.

Re: Maiden Boat Launch and then Fishing After

The wooden boat will do fine....i have taken wooden boats on goose creek many times over rocks and stuff.  I was just curious if i could put an 18ft motor boat in.

Re: Maiden Boat Launch and then Fishing After

Unless it's a jet motor, I would say no due to the shallows and riffles.
