Christopherkeene9 · 10-28-06, 08:33 PM

Built me a cart and now I can get to my pond and lake!!!

My little bro can even lift it with how I have it set up

On the pond

texasbasser · 10-28-06, 09:27 PM

Yeah those are outriggers. Me and my bro/Dad can stand up and we will fall both fall out before we can make it tip!

Cristopher Helluva nice job and some GREAT thinking. Nice job of useing PVC for the frame. Also like the Zercom unit. Havent used or been around one does it show detail very well?????

Christopherkeene9 · 10-29-06, 10:42 PM

Couldn't tell! Its an old unit that came off our last boat when we first bought it. It think it was showing me some brush piles on one end and on the other end of the pond I found a slope/drop off into a cove. If your looking for a new FF I would recommend the color Furonos. Ours was hitting bottom in a 1/2 mile of water these past two weekends and shows great detail in 125ft. of water or more (250)!

1FASTLASER · 10-29-06, 10:44 PM

Was just wondering bout yours bud. I fish with Lowrance exclusively.

Christopherkeene9 · 10-29-06, 10:51 PM

Lowrance! Don't you say that name around any of salt guys!

WTL · 10-31-06, 01:50 AM

Nice improv. Very impressed.

BTW, I see your local lake has bullrushes. Hit them hard. They are fish magnets.

Christopherkeene9 · 10-31-06, 07:28 AM

Bullrushes?? Do you mean Cattails?

JB · 10-31-06, 06:12 PM

yes one in the same, there everywhere in ponds, but I hardly ever see them on the lake.
On some windy days, practice flipping into any gap in the cattails, its a excellant way to catch bass, plus plenty of targets to flip or pitch into.

Christopherkeene9 · 10-31-06, 06:26 PM

Can't flip and pitch in a canoe yet! But will eventually!!

Rodman_Rob · 10-31-06, 06:35 PM

good looking setup chris. thats pretty much all you need for most central florida lakes and ponds. looks like that #30lbs motor can move the canoe pretty good too.

fishinfortune · 11-01-06, 07:42 PM

that looks great .i wish i had something like that.

Christopherkeene9 · 11-01-06, 09:51 PM

The best part about this whole thing is that most of this stuff was just laying around the house! All except some of the trailer pieces but my Dad's a landscaper so I got all those pieces even!

lizardsrule · 11-04-06, 09:01 PM

Awesome Chris. Just wondering, do you have to have it registered since you have the trolling motor on it?

Very neat job, and wonderful thinking.

Lizards

Christopherkeene9 · 11-04-06, 11:04 PM

Not yet but am looking into it. Doesn't need it right now for the places I'm using it (exclusively private pond and lake) but will when I take her to the salt again!

Only 7.25 not worth a ticket. Got to get a title though since it was given to me!

WTL · 11-05-06, 01:29 AM

Bullrushes and cattails are not the same. Bullrushes are cylendrical, cattails are flat. I call cattails sawgrass. I find bullrushes hold more fish on average.

Christopherkeene9 · 11-05-06, 06:57 PM

Yeah I saw what you meant there WTL. On the lake there is alot of those and thats where I got alot of my fish today! Thanks for the Tip.

Anybody up for some weed salad, wheres the stinkin' manatees when you need them!

JB · 11-05-06, 07:18 PM

looks like the hairdo on a punk rocker I used to date, back in the day.......rofl

Christopherkeene9 · 11-05-06, 11:19 PM
