Thanks for the reply, SmallieBigs... Now what would you do if you only had a budget of x dollars and the two canoes listed in this comparison were readily available at around that price range...? :face_palm:

That's awesome! (nicely done, Sir!)

Glad to hear it!

I'm severely disappointed, you know... Flagrant false advertising...

Well hell, that tears it! How do I shut down this poll?!? lol

Thanks for the input! I'm told that the 169 is very stable.. Do you stand in it at all? Has it ever had a puncture or leak? I'm real worried about that, since I float the Niangua allot...

http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/product_list.html In looking at the website the two seem very similar.. What are the differences? Do you own one? Have you floated both? Could you do me a small favor and tell me what you like or dislike before I consider dropping this kinda change?

:raised_eyebrows: Did I buy a fly tying kit off of Craigslist from you?

But don't the hooks get tangled?

Good luck, and welcome...

Don't listen to this guy, he has no clue about bass fishing on rivers... None whatsoever..

Anything but swimming crawdads... Those things don't work worth a hoot... Matter of fact, if you have any rebel craws, just box em up and mail em to me... Same with those strike king bitsy minnows... One method that really doesn't work is putting a small split shot about a foot in front of those little things and working the holes over real slow... (the shot sinking causes constant swimming action... Don't work worth a hoot though.. Don't bother trying it, unless you just feel like wasting your time..)

As far as young lads, i think its just Dylan... Other than that its just a bunch of us older fogies, I think... Oh, there's The Trout Commander, but he's married... (he's a Ginger anyways, so you just know he's up to something...)

Most likely a canoe I'm buying on Wednesday...

LOL, who does?

Welcome....

I've been giggling at that for weeks.... Didja hafta tell him? lol

I have seen copperhead bites and the damage they do (I posted on here a few years back about my families experience with the copperhead bite followed by salems incorrect treatment which resulted in further doctors visits and it STILL didn't add up to 90k), but before I get carried away replying to the first paragraph I'll mention that I completely agree with the second one...

Exactly....

it was rhetorical response to your request to alter my posts.. "Sorry Cham" as in, I replied to your comments and I'm not interested in deleting them.. Sorry. No hard feelings here though...

Chub minnow?

You're still doing it wrong... Man, you're no good at this... :facepalm:

I would suggest you float from Bennett public access to NRO (if you wanna fish hard) or Barclay/Oldham/Redbeards (if you wanna fish and float)... Either float will take you right past Riverwood (about 1 mile past BSSP put in), which is neat.. (there's no fish in the run next to Riverwood :wink: ) Swimming crawdads work great for both of your targeted species the smaller the better... (dark red ones are the only ones I've ever struck out on, but I like the light colored ones the best)... Streamers if your flipping flies.. Good luck, have fun...

Good point.... But the court doesn't need to know that... You did know that Jesus hates you, right? (You're doing it wrong...)

Classic capitalism... Dontcha love it? What I think is funny is how, in order to attempt to make the suit stick, the guy not only has to rack up an enormous medical bill (90k, seriously?) but also has to prove what a wimp he is by claiming that he continues to suffer... And heck, for all I know he does still suffer... But how can he possibly hold the company accountable and think it'll stick? If that works then I'm suing Uglystick for getting me addicted to catching big smallies... I want compensation for all the hours I've lost at work (calling in sick to fish), all the dinners and gifts I've had to buy my wife (cause I'm makin' up for being out on the river)... Oh, and I want replacements for all the lures I've lost in the trees (cause that uglystick rod just casts too smooth)... And I'm sure my adventures on the river (which would have never happened if it wasn't for uglystick) have had me injured many times... Yup, I'm finally gonna get rich... Shakespeare can afford it... . And after all, it's the American way!
