The Week before the Duck Hunt

2009-10-19T14:32:00.000-07:00

My son and I went out scouting for ducks and a place to setup. As we launched, we noticed a large school of fish feeding on flies that were skimming the surface. I went back to the truck and got the fly rod out.
I noticed that it was my eight weight and I had a strong tip-it on it. I could barley fit the tip-it through the eye but I worked at and tied the clinch knot and laid a fly in the slip stream where they were gulping flies. After about 4 attempts to present it how they wanted it the FIGHT was on. 15 to 20 minutes later I had slipped 10 pounds or more fish into the NuCanoe with me. This is the largest "Great Salt Lake Salmon" that I have caught on a fly. The fly had actually broke but the fly thread held together enough to actually land it. My arm hurt from the fight so I thought I would do it again. I had 4 more on but could not land them, they kept breaking off. It was a great day in the NuCanoe!

The "Fishgt'r"

2009-10-19T14:27:00.000-07:00

I'm telling you, a guy can sneak up and get gigantic fish like this with a stealth approach. The boat glides around, aiding you in catching huge fish like this. My brother and his friends looked on as I was able to boat fish after fish today. This is in Wyoming, of course at a secret hole.

NuCanoe "Dummy" Marketing

2009-09-22T10:23:00.000-07:00

Bright Star Classics and NuCanoe takes advantage of advertising by putting a NuCanoe on top of their building where all can see from the Interstate 30, and adds a little dummy doing his thing in the canoe. People call and stop to take pics and it's got several people in just by seeing the canoe on top- It's all about Marketing!!! We change his cloths depending on what the season is - he's dressed to kill for the summer!!

First Day on the "Greatest Paddling Boat"

2009-09-22T09:48:00.000-07:00

"Just to let you know, took my new NuCanoe out today. What a great boat. Even had more fun than when you let me demo yours. This has got to be the greatest paddling boat built. Had the boat out for over 4 hours, the seat was comfortable the whole time. Paddling was easy and a joy also. You do not really realize all the nice features this boat has until you take it out and use it. The sport box is really nice, as it latches down without the worry of losing items. Even christened the boat with a few fish today. Thank you again Frank, for the opportunity of trying this boat out and the service you provide in selling me this boat. NuCanoe is a great product and I wish you well at Tar River Paddle Sports."

NuCanoe for Photographing a Documentary

2009-07-10T15:03:00.000-07:00

From Tim C. with Taku Seasons in the Taku River Basin in Southeast Alaska:

"I want to first thank you for the chance to experience the capabilities of a NuCanoe . Having this boat on the Taku River has opened up a world of opportunities to document the region. The ability to navigate quietly, loaded with camera gear ready to shoot and easily accessible, played a key part in capturing the needed images on this trip. "

Two Men in a NuCanoe in Rocky Mount

2009-06-23T09:07:00.000-07:00

We fished on a small farm pond in Walnut Cove, N.C. I caught these today in the same pond. My NuCanoe is awesome! I can stand and fish in non-moving or moving water. The NuCanoe is easy to handle in or out of water, and it has a lot of room in it for all of my gear!

Trout Fishing with Osprey

2009-06-10T11:42:00.000-07:00

Check out this nice German brown on our new sport box. Not a bad way to NuCanoe.

I wanted to relate a experience I had while on an outing recently. I caught and released a small trout. I was watching it to make sure it was going to be okay. Just as I decided I had better re-net it, an Osprey swooped down and made it his family's dinner. It happened just a few feet from me. I have seen them catch fish at quite a distance before, but never up close and personal. Thank you Blake and NuCanoe for perhaps that "once in a lifetime" outdoor experience.

Fishing Shamrock Island

2009-06-10T11:31:00.000-07:00

Fishing Shamrock Island and the East flats of the Corpus Christi Bay Saturday May 30th. The Red Fish measured 27 3/8" and weighed about 10 lbs. The speckled trout looks small in comparison but he is over 18". I use a 27 series deep cycle battery which allows me to troll a good distance (probably 8+miles) with and against the constant wind down here. Great Product!!!!

"I have a NuCanoe..."

2009-05-04T09:22:00.000-07:00

"....and I love it. I have paddled it on the Hooch (Chattahoochee River) and on a lake. It worked out great both times. I love the fact I could add a electric motor if I needed a little help getting the boat from point to point on the lake. I am planning on using it down on the coast this summer... I think the way it is rigged with anchor system is going to help a lot on dealing with the tides. It is also nice that I can change the setup to be tandem, fishing geared, paddling geared, etc. rather easily as it is well designed. I am not sure if there is a SOT that is set up at purchase to be that versatile.

"I would be happy to talk live about it. Shoot me a PM if you want to send a # to call.

"I have talked SOT vs. NuCanoe through with a few paddlers (who are occasional fishermen) and a few fishermen (who are occasional paddlers). The general consensus is that NuCanoe is the better fishing boat, a traditional SOT may be a better paddling boat.

"In short, after my own research, the NuCanoe was the best for me. Depending on your preferences/needs, your answer could be different. Oh yeah... Up The River Outfitters is where I purchased my boat. They let me try different boats out on the river and treated me great. I am still plugging for them every chance I get.

"The boat is very easy to get into and out of both in deep water and in shallow water. When you pull yourself in in deeper water, the boat tends to get a little bit of water in it. I have heard some people bring large sponges to ring the water out... I usually just paddle to shallow water and tip the boat on its side. Overall, because of the width, I think it makes for a stable base, which helps on entry/exit.

"On the question of storing gear, when I am solo there is tons of room... I usually bring a big tackle bag and a cooler for food and have lots of room left. The guy who designed this boat definitely had fishermen in mind as everything from the anchor system to the seats is built for efficiency and comfort. I think it is going to be a bit more cramped when I have two fishermen in the boat. Here is a picture when I was just out paddling with no gear."
