As soon as I posted that about the canoe the smack started.
I don't know. Itty bitty boats have an advantage up there.
At the spring shoot in June I was able to cruise right past (push-pole actually)a half dozen bigger boats who couldn't get in the shallows. They had to sit and watch while I cleaned up on a whole school of carp not more than 40 yards from where they would get stuck. The winners for most fish and biggest fish were 2 guys in a 10 foot jon boat.
Waders don't even help since the muck is over a foot thick -way too dangerous.
I'll probably be there in the Fall too, but I have no room for a partner. [>:]
