Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Too big is when you can no longer get into lakes you want to to get into, or have gotten into in the past. It is a reality now especially in Northern WI. Also is the size of the launching are in terms of backing a boat in. As Sled mentioned you could really use more than one boat for cases like this. Some really great lakes in Northern WI have some really terrible landing as far as water depth, and actual launching size.
If you usually fish by yourself why the reason to get a big boat? Heck if I was by myself most of the time, or usually only fish with one other person I wouldn't go any larger than a 17' boat. I choose that simply to carry the gear I usually carry.
Now boat size may not come into play if it drafts very little water. If that is the case and you have all the space in the world to be able to back it in then go as big as you want. |
