I was in fishhawks before making the jump to glass.
I was very very close to pulling the trigger on a walleye type, (Ranger 620,etc.) until I mooched a few rides in bass boats while fishing for muskies.
I was sold right away on them......same pro's as 123 had.
Also with starting here at the marina I was able to rub elbows with a lot of bass tourney guys that work here and found they fish the same "big" water as we do for ski's......Leech,Sturgeon bay,Vermilion,MileLacs.......and they do it in 18' Bassboats!!
My personal opinion is to not go under 19'......the longer the better for spanning the rough stuff, I am now in a 20' and like it even more.
123's con's are legit as well, but I am a single guy with a one track mind......100% fish, no ski,joyriding or tubing for me.
I think a good alternative for a family fun boat and still the bass boat characteristics would be a fish/ski type.
i.e Ranger Reatta series, Stratos fish/ski, lots of others as well.
You are still closer to the water for 8's and netting and releases. |
