With some mods she's alright for fishing, it will never be a bass boat but then I like to fish offshore as well, also I have a lot of fun throwing this boat around. Some day I'm sure I'll own a dedicated bass boat

2004 Dagger Blackwater 11.5. You might be saying to yourself, "I've never heard of that brand of boat". Well that would be because it is a kayak, lol. Gets me to some pretty cool fishing places though. Portable fish finder, dry storage, anchor, Garmin GPS, it's a hooked up fishing kayak.

Tsmola reply :

we've got a small plastic Basstender 10.2 bassboat, we motor around with a Minn Kota trolling motor. No electronics, I've never used them or felt the need to.

It's small but it gets the job done, most of the bass lakes in Michigan aren't exactly huge anyway.

hootersdoug reply :

Dad has a 1976 Starcraft/70 Merc with god only knows how many hours on it (Bass, Crappie, trolling for salmon on Lake Michigan)

he still belives in his 1980 humminbird lcd depthfinder (I have gotten him some BPS gift certs. hoping he will move up on the

depth finder so I can "see" fish in more than 120'!!!!)

I have a 95 Skeeter ZX150/150 Merc and am currently updating the electronics. Dad always tells me "You sure look pretty in that thing" every time he outfishes me!!!

I sure am glad I found this forum. Switching from live bait fishing to artificial takes some getting used to, but it is a LOT more fun...caught my first buzzbait fish last year!! Hopefully all of you will keep the learning curve going the right way....expect a lot of questions!!!

As of right now, boatless. Sold mine about 4 yrs ago. I am looking at a Triton TR20 with either a Yamaha or Mercury 225. My partner has a TR20 and that is a sweet boat.
