Project - Walleye Boat
|
| Last summer we decided to get back into
walleye fishing, but frst we need to a find a nice, used boat. Our
criteria for choosing a boat were:
1. A solid aluminum hull,
2. An outboard motor,
3. Plenty of room to fish,
4. A fairly unmodified boat that would allow us to set it up the
way we wanted.
Our search didn't last long. The second boat we viewed turned out
to be just what we were looking for. We found an 18-foot Starcraft
Mainer with a 85 horse Johnson outboard. The boat was amazingly
clean and stored inside with no add-ons. It came with a working
Marine Radio, an Eagle LCD fish finder, a live well and a trolling
board that attaches to the boat with Eagle Feet. |

| Before we made any decisions on rigging
the boat for the 2012 season, we decided to do a couple of test trips
on Saginaw Bay. To do this we added four in-line planners as well
as a couple of rod holders and four, six-foot, medium-action, one-piece
rods with line counter reels. After these two trips we had a better
understanding of how we would want to fish this boat. |
