G'day guys.

I have been busting to take my canoe up here ever since I built her. My Okwata and Laker are superb fishing kayaks but more and more, I am being drawn by the lure of the single blade and a canoes wonderful ability to take a lot of stuff AND a paddling/fishing partner. :D

This creek is very shallow at low tide, hence no stink boats :D and even with Sasquatches remarkable ability to float in very shallow water, sometimes one just has to get out and walk.

Miss Evie, very kindly took most of the images. this is one of me about to set one of the collapsable crab pots.

Image

We paddled and fished for a few hours

Image

Image

Her first ever canoe caught bream

Image

and a bit later

Image

mud spiders! :D :D 8)

Matt, we both love this boat. :D thank you again

and just for good measure, a pretty nice sunrise taken from the camp site, 8)

You and the Ms Evie are having way to much fun......... KEEP IT UP..... Don't stop now. If you don't get any crabs at lease she can catch the fish for a shore lunch or supper. :D

Hi Mick,

Looks like you had a great time, cant wait for the warmer weather to kick in I'm over this cold weather. We will have to rehash the idea of an east coast OZ "Jem Warercraft" convention state of origin. :lol: :lol:
