Got my hands on my first vessel, simple canoe, bought used off FB Marketplace so no receipt nor any idea how to get it registered for a trolling motor.

First real trip is out for Muskie and skunked but had a great strike/near jump from one right on the side of the canoe.

First fish is officially a SMB from monksville. I couldnt find much outside of some bluegill and young 5 inch largemouth. That place got mobbed with paddlers!

Took it out down south for snakes,
I started with a buzzbait, 4 nice hits from snakes but none hooked up, good ones too. Maybe hitting the blade only. Switch to a EWG swimbait and that finally stuck for my first. Was able to watch chris mop up and hog all the fish otherwise. :D congrats on his PB (ill let him post pic) Mixed were some dink largemouth bass + 1 fatty largemouth chris got.

Want someone to fillet those Snakes and tell me how good they are.

Try Split Rock.

Nice fish. To register you have to get a hull number and go to DMV. Its usually on most boats. If not you go to a State Trooper barracks and get it inspected and they will issue a number. That's how I did it back in the day not sure about now though? Maybe you can do it online.

I feel like the maiden voyage should have involved muddy tires

Saw 3 people and a dog launch a canoe in Carnegie Lake Sunday evening and it immediately flipped over. I’ll make a video next time.

Good luck with the new canoe, but I'm a ljttle sad that I know your local reports will soon come to an end. Guess I might have to actually take my rod out and see if anything is around.

lol im still fishing around there on occasion, no huge SMBs other than a thick 16 incher from a south branch tributary :D . Ned rigs or weightless worms, then panfish jigs on the way back downstream to cleanup on all the sunnies that pestered me.
