Ultimate Bass Canoe – Marine Battery

Is your trolling battery sitting in the corner of your garage?  Whoa.  There are a number of things that need to happen in the off season to keep it in top condition. Since I messed up a battery last year, I checked a few sites to get the right info on what to do. There

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Canoe Middle Seat

It’s been awhile since I was able to get any more toys for the basscanoe.  I recently found a removable, adjustable middle seat that works just fine! This thing drops in the rails pull out, and you are in business.  You can attach one of the firm backed seats to it for additional comfort. So, load up

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Damage!

On a trip late in the season, I slipped and jarred the Bass Canoe loose from the hitch mount.  Bang! Slam! I watched in horror as it richocheted off the truck and slammed into the pavement.  A quick survey of the damage revealed a huge and nasty looking dent in the front.  My fear is

Ultimate Bass Canoe – A need for SPEED!

The good thing about having a trolling motor on the Bass Canoe is that it it provides an inexpensive way to move “quickly” on the small bass lakes I enjoy.  The bad thing is that if the lake is anything bigger than small, it takes forever to get from point to point. When I was

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Umbrella

The Basswife likes to fish for bass, but does not want to be uncomfortable.  This means no bugs and some shade when it is hot. I got her a “buzzoff” hat to deal with the bugs (works great), the shade eluded me;after all, this was the basscanoe; a floating bass fishing machine that is about

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Rod Holders

Ordered one of these downeast rod holder from Amazon to use to hold my rod or even to use to drag a worm or drop shot rig while fishing with the other rod.  These things worked out pretty good.  They were easy to clamp and have plenty of adjustments.  You can pivot them by using the wingnut

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Sea Anchor

Tired of drifting around?  A sea anchor (drift sock) is probably exactly what you need.  Over the years, I spent plenty of hours trying to get the canoe into position only to have the wind push it out of the way before I could finish working the spot for that big bass you know has

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Motor Mount

While a paddle is great on a river, the only way to navigate a small to medium sized bass lake is with a motor.  It took me quite a bit of time to find the perfect mount – reliable and cheap.  Surprisingly, I found this at LL Bean.  I normally associate them with more expensive

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Seating

I don’t know about anyone else, but a canoe is not a very comfortable place to spend an afternoon.  The seat is strangely shaped – kind of pitches you back – and then there is no back support. For years we use flexible stadium type seats -they were the floppy kind that you could adjust

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Attach Tiedowns

Before you pop your bass canoe ontop of your car or truck, you need to make sure that it will stay there as you wing down the road at 60mph.  I have a Ranger XLT and it fit my canoe just fine.  I would strap it from the front and the back with just enough

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Getting the boat on your vehicle

At the Bass Pro Shops Spring sale, I went nuts.  Geez.  Got everything under the sun – plenty of Gulp! baits, canoe blocks, new seats and… most important… a new way to load the canoe onto the truck. In the past, I would put the foam blocks on the canoe rails and in one motion

Ultimate Bass Canoe – Mount a Fishfinder

I read a great an obvious quote in a magazine recently.  It went something like, to be successful fishing you need to find that 10% of the water that holds the fish.  Once you find that 10%, you then need to find the 1% where the fish really are.  You can narrow this down a
