That is the benefit of throwing those big cranks is that you can cast them a long distance and cover a lot of water, thus you can be out in the middle of the river away from over hanging trees and etc.

Ok, that's how I fish from canoe in the daytime only without generation. I use a small river anchor that dropd from the front. I still have my eye out for one of those dandy RiverHawks though. Can 2 guys really stand and fish from it?
