One of the most rewarding marine activities is fishing. Being able to catch the night’s dinner or win a contest with the biggest fish can give you a sense of pride you won’t get from other pastimes. But in order to fish the trickiest waters, you’ll need a stealthy fishing boat. MarineMax is your all-around Minnesota boat dealership! Read the information below for some helpful tips while searching for your next fishing boat.
Where You’ll Fish
The body of water you fish in has a lot to do with the type of boat you should get. For example, fishing in a shallow river or along the shores of a lake will require a boat with a shallow draft, like a flat-bottom boat. V-hulls are going to catch on sandbanks and potentially run aground in these conditions so you won’t be able to maneuver how you’d like. Think about the types of fish you’d like to catch and where they’re likely to swim so you can get a suitable vessel.Conversely, going out onto one of the Great Lakes will subject you to deeper waters that can be much rougher, which necessitates a bigger boat with a deep V-hull that’s capable of cutting through chop and remaining stable in the wind.
If you plan to stay out for only a few hours and only go out in good weather, then you may not need your boat to have a cabin or roof. However, overnight fishing trips and longer journeys will require a cabin with a head (bathroom) and bunks for your comfort. Fishing in rainy weather may be more comfortable when you have some form of shelter, too.
Accessories
Next, you’ll want to consider accessories that will make fishing more enjoyable and productive. Rod holders along the sides of your boat will allow you to keep multiple lines in the water or step away for a few minutes without removing the lure. Live wells and bait wells will keep your catches and your bait fresh and swimming until you return to shore. Extra storage compartments will give you room for all your gear and supplies. Additional trolling motors are great for smaller Minnesotan lakes that require a stealthier, quieter method of attracting fish.Come see us at our Nisswa & Crosslake Minnesota dealerships so you can fully explore the Land of 10,000 (we all know there's more) Lakes!
