“I have decided I am
calling the canoe The Aluminum Monster”- Me
“Except when she is
good to you…then you should call her Sweet D!”- My brother
I had been searching
for a used canoe for quite a while. Every time I found one happened to
correlate with the time of month when I was short on cash…each boat was sold
just before pay day. Finally it happened, I found a used aluminum canoe for
$180 in my home town just one day after pay day. I was on it like white on
rice! I had been pretty busy with work, so I had my brother check it out as he
lives closer to where we grew up. Justin checked it out, bought it for me and
stored it for a few weeks in his backyard until I could come by and get it.
We have already got way
more than our money’s worth out of it! Andrew and I have landed bass and
bluegill like crazy and my girl, dog, and I have spent some great time paddling
the local creek.
Bluegill are small but tasty pan fish!
Andrew with his first bass...14.5 inches!
Whole Bluegill sautéed over onion and garlic butter
I hope to take it out
on the lake or down one of our local rivers for a wild pig hunt in late Summer
or early Fall.
I will keep you posted.
In the meantime… keep
the old ways alive!
