Fishing Boats For Everyone 1
 by Steve Dolan
Fishing is an ideal activity. There’s nothing better than spending time on the water with a line in your hand. For many, fishing is THE recreational getaway for the whole family. Others like to go fishing with the guys or with other couples. Whatever your angling style, if you spend all your free time fishing, eventually you are going to think about buying a fishing boat.

There is a huge variety of choices in boats designed especially for fishing, so it’s a good idea to spend a little time doing some research. First you’ll want to ask yourself a few questions about your perfect fishing boat. If you are looking for freshwater fishing, in rivers, lakes and streams, then forget about the fancy, more expensive boats and think about an aluminum or fiberglass fishing boat, a runabout or walleye, or even a canoe.

If ocean fishing is your thing, then you are looking for a saltwater boat. Your first consideration is whether you like fishing inshore or offshore. If you are an inshore fisherman, then your choices are a bit less expensive, as a 25 foot boat should work well for you. However, if you wish to pursue deep sea monsters, then you will need to spend money for a fishing boat that is designed to withstand much more pounding from Mother Nature.

Freshwater Fishing Boats

Bass Boats
The bass boat is a specialized design especially for bass fishermen. Bass boats are fast and low to the water. They usually have casting platforms in the bow and stern, and come with trolling motors. Because of their sleek, specialized design, you can expect a new or used bass boat to be a little more expensive.

Runabouts
With aluminum or fiberglass, or more rarely wooden, hulls, a small fishing boat, like a runabout or bow rider, is the perfect way to get out on a lake or river for a day’s fishing. These small fishing boats usually have either an inboard or an outboard motor, and are between fifteen and thirty feet. They do not have cabins or amenities, these lightweight boats are meant to get you out to the center of the pond with your rod and reel, and to bring your catch back to shore.
