dave robinson Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Welcome to the site. I see from your alias and photo that you are a canoe fishereman and from your photo that you have that well developed partial sidearm casting style necessitated by fishing from a canoe. If you live around Edmonton, I'll have to introduce you to Chiquita, my 17 1/2 ft Clipper. Shes' got a pretty good anchoring system for chironomid fishing, but I'm always looking for "ballast".

KuchCanoe Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dave, Yup I canoe cast, and that special side arm becomes even more of a necessity with my buddy in the bow! haha. Flies were caught in hats and jackets on more than one occassion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave robinson Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hey Scratch! If you chase all potential ballast away, you might get nominated to substitute. And don't worry, I don't put flies into hats or jackets of the bow guy, unless he critiques my casting prowess too often that is. He only need ignore the odd weighted wolley bugger smacking into the gunwhale behind him. If "ballast" can't paddle or ballance a canoe, there's always standby duty as bow anchor manager in Zoie the zodiak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuchCanoe Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'd think that if "Ballast" can't paddle or stabilize the canoe than he truly is "Ballast" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Ballast... yep... that's Alex. Actually Dave - I thought for sure you'd have brought up the 'motor ate my line' incident... You did get a few new flies out of the deal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuchCanoe Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 "Motor ate my line" eh? well now that it's been brought up.... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 ...but I'm always looking for "ballast".Run away... quickly.... Kuch... what he said. The Yellow 'Chiquita' Banananananana is a real treat to sit in front and fish from. Pause... NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks for the flattering photo RB. And thanks for the critiques from those who got a free ride. "Ballast" was too busy studying and stream fishing to do his normal duties hence the not so subtle recruiting drive. I'll also have you note that Brian D manged to go fishing with me without braking any rods So it can't be that bad a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctuber Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Howdy to you as well! The ballast part is priceless.Can I guess the name of the lake at which the canoe is being launched? DAHLBERG.Any how welcome aboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolly Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Howdy Folks! Just signed up, and thought I'd introduce myself! Good Day!Welcome o the nut house. If yo paddle you can't be ballast. Dave M (aka woolly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourbon Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I did not break either Dave's rods nor my own and Dave is a good fishing partner. Brian D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
