TomBettle Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 You wouldn't want to go out of the harbour in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 You wouldn't want to go out of the harbour in it. I'll second that. They're flat bottomed designed for use over the mud flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 You wouldn't want to go out of the harbour in it. I'll second that. They're flat bottomed designed for use over the mud flats. Great for netting mullet and possibly sneaking in to creeks at low water. Wouldn't even want to be in the harbour in other than calm conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Poole canoes as said above are not really suitable for outside the harbour although I used to have an 18 footer and we used to take it out as far as Poole Patch. The thing to watch with them is 1 the free board as most have very low free board and 2 following seas (read as ripples) as anything from the rear will bury the nose. If you are only going to use it in the harbour then they are more than suitable especially for getting into the shallows after flounder and the like. For anything else there are far more suitable angling boats out there that are not to expensive Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) What about Rory's Explorer "Kingfisher"? Edited September 15, 2011 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay kay Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Rory's Boat would be ideal but more than i could justify spending at the moment! Sound like a Canoe would be a bad idea though, i might keep my Sib untill iv saved some more money. Cheers Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
