Thanks. No laughing, but where does the line tie on? Onto the hook eye or the little hole on the other end of the spoon?

I think the lawn chair is out, so it sounds like I'm buying a canoe.

It does seem logical. We can only fish from the bank along our property line or along the dam, so having a boat would greatly increase the area from which we could fish.

I'd go with a jon boat over a canoe. Canoes are hard to fish from because of lack of stability. You can stand and move around in a jon boat.

They aren't allowed. Canoe or "belly boat" only.

Hmmm. Ill try to describe the best way to use this. They spin, so that can twist the line when you retrieve them, so you dont ever want to connect right to the lure when using a spoon. I like to tie what is called a barrel swivel to my line. It has a loop on either end. Tie about a 1 foot piece of line to the other end. Then on the free end of the 1 foot piece of line, tie directly to the spoon. It will spin freely but wont twist your line. You can tie a snap swivel directly to the line and then clip it to the spoon. Lots of people do this, but I think finicky trout get bothered by the snap swivel. Just me tho.

i think you'd like something w/a flat bottom better. at least until you get used to fishing out of it.

This reminds me...you need to learn some fishing knots for monofilament line. If you try to tie a standard square knot or something the knot will either slip or the line will cut through itself.

The most useful for connecting the line to a hook or lure is the Trilene Knot.

I bought an outrigger for my canoe. It was a under $200. Fits right behind the rear paddler seat. makes the canoe totally stable. It is great for lake fishin.
