Hey Canuck, I do have a boat. It's a 10' flat bottom aluminum, good for the lakes. I don't have an electric motor yet but the oars get me around fine. I was out on Sunday morning, first light. Not much luck however around 9 or 10 o'clock I was heading into where the launch area was and right at the corner I hooked into about a 3 lb bass. Nice fight it gave me, left him there for the next guy. I have been having luck with a normal spinner just trolling it slowly behind the boat. I will post the day before when I am heading out again to Thetis or another small lake in the area, would like a fishing partner. Lot's of room in the boat. Take care.
