Subject: RE: bass boats for muskie fishing





Location: Athens, Ohio
I run a 21 ft Gambler bass boat. I'm still chicken to take it to LOTW, but it has served well on Cass, Cave Run, Dale Hollow and other muskie lakes.

Plus: fishing off a very large casting deck makes jerk baiting a pleasure. Fish can be netted easily, and you can get from one hole to another in a blink. Plenty of room to stow gear below decks, 3 fish comfortably and even four with some doing.

Minus: no matter what they say, Gamblers and other bass style boats are not at their best in high seas. I feel more secure in deep V's during those times. Trolling is very limited without some rigging. No way to put a small hp kicker outboard on, so I do own a smaller aluminum boat with a 9.9 for smaller hp lakes.

I'm very pleased with this boat, and I can get it into skinny water with the best of them. My dream-come-true. m
