So, a few weeks ago, I made the trek down to Smith Mountain Lake, where a guy had a Wenonah Odyssey canoe for sale. I picked it up. This is an 18 1/2 feet long tripping canoe, and is pretty fast paddled tandem. I've taken it out now twice using it as a solo, and it makes a lousy solo canoe. The length makes it difficult to turn, and my solo seat is just a board over the gunnels, which puts me too high up to paddle effectively with any paddle I own.
That having been said, it is pretty stable, and doesn't draft much water with just me in it.
While I was paddling around, caught this crappie:
I caught this nice yellow perch the other day.
