This lake is huge!  Thankfully, it is also narrow - making it perfect for the BassCanoe

Monday, February 18, 2008

The Rapidan Rocks for Smallies!

Bassin' - Hunting Run
Monday, October 15, 2007

Hunting Run just opened... and has been overwhelmed...

Monday, September 17, 2007

Smith Mountain Lake is big water, but the Hardy launch was a good place for the BassCanoe

Bassin' - Germantown Lake
Monday, September 03, 2007

Germantown Lake was a disappointment that cost 6 bucks to discover

Bassin' - Pohick Bay Regional Park

Pohick Bay is a bust for the basscanoe - it's just too big for such a small boat

Monday, July 30, 2007

Smallies!  Love those guys - tough and fiesty.

Bassin' - Occoquan River (VA)
Monday, April 02, 2007

The Occoquan is at the outer limits for the Bass Canoe, but it's a nice body of water anyway
