Camp Lonesome by solo canoe.
I just finished writing my trip report. We did an 8 night 9 day trip to the middler rivers area of the Everglades from Chokoloskee. This was the first time I have ever used a solo canoe for a trip that long. I have also sold my kayak. It is mostly my thoughts and experience of using a canoe vs. kaya...

Those Biscayne Bay trout are sure tasty. I don't even keep Everglades trout anymore after tasting those. That one you caught is biggest I have seen out there. Do you tip your lures with shrimp? Permit: This is the only fish I have not caught from a paddle craft. I did hook one and it straightened th...

redfishin, I am on my mobile so excuse typos. tides will be a HUGE factor with your connectors, shark, lostmans and broad. these are deep and powerful tidal rivers. mileage wise looks good. it may be better to do loop from choko to broad using a connector river or two instead of coming in from flami...

Even with my eyeglasses, hat, towel over my head I can't get a good picture using the cameras that have those LCD screens. I thought it was Blackpoint. Those bones just cruise up and down that western shoreline. I bet you've figured that out already and know what seasons work best in each area. Neve...

Great pictures! That has got to be my favorite loop route. It is a spooky site but after a few times there it becomes very appealing. That river is beautiful especially as the sun is setting and the dolphins swim by. Lot's of great fishing at the mouth and middle oyster bars and islands there. A tou...

That must've been fun on fly! Krash is right about the Cuda on topwater being a blast. I have tried to try cuda on the grill and took a small one to the cleaning station. Why do they smell so foul? I just threw it to the water and the birds ate it. Yuck! But I guess if there was hunger and nothing e...

Redfishin I finally met you in person! Yes, I paddle a Hemlock Kestrel but that's a women's specific or very small guy solo. The trip was awesome, I was testing my canoe with an 8 night, 9 day camping gear/water/food weight load. It handled very well given the afternoon 25knot gusts in those back ba...

if wenonah is what you have access to, look at vagabond and prism. make sure you get it with the footbrace option. these are sit and switch boats mainly designed for sitting with occasional kneeling in rough water. you will need a carbon bentshaft (zre) to get max enjoyment from boat. I don't know w...
