My favorite kind of fishing: plug casting for bass. For years, I used to toss my canoe into San Francisco Bay, near the Richmond - San Rafael bridge and toss plugs - jigs mostly - among the bridge pilings in quest of stripped bass, using my fresh water plugging outfit that you see here. I once tied into a 19 pound striper using this rig, but most were in the 5 - 10 pound range. The motor hanging off the back side of the canoe was necessary because the currents running through there, especially on a big tide, were a bit rough to handle with a paddle. With the motor, I could throttle back and hold steady while nosing into the current and tossing my jigs among the pilings. I haven't done that in quite a few years, but we recently gave the canoe to one of our sons, who bought a new motor for it, and who knows? maybe we'll get out there again.
In order to take this shot, I clamped my Nikon-F on to one of the struts, turned on an add-on self timed, and scrambled back into position, grabbed my rod, and the camera went off at just the right moment - all without tipping the canoe over...
These can be rented at Interstate State Park in Taylors Falls MN for a one way trip down to William O'Brien State Park and then they'll shuttle you back. I think it's $45 for the canoe, 2 life preservers, 2 oars and the shuttle. What a great day that would be. They must have 400 canoes stacked up waiting to go.

For the dyxum.com SR 65th birthday "Rokkor" challenge. In my case, day 1 is the Minolta MD Rokkor-X 45mm f/2
When I first ordered Elkie, i had always imagined her in a Hiawatha style canoe. I never imagined that she would ever own one.
This is all thanks to the wonderful Scarlett Empress and her Mum! This is just perfect.
Later in the year I shall dress Elkie in her default costume and make her a paddle and a fishing line.
A full size well used 15 footer supporting a 1/2 size model and a 1/4 size model uppermost. These boats were constructed by John and Victoria Jungwirth, who build, sell, and are currently teaching me the skill of birch bark canoe building.
Taken after leaving the Little Festival at London Fields, which was a bit boring, like this photo. I'd wandered out of London Fields hoping to buy some badges from Pete's mum's stall… but it wasn't there!!
A rare sub species of Barn Swallows that chooses to nest in over turned fiberglass canoes on storage racks rather than in barns.
a replica of the fur-traders canoes from the early days here in Northern Michigan, made largely by Jim, one of the guys on staff with us. Daniel felled the trees for the canoe two years ago, and finally last week got some pictures of it from his kite.
