Fishing For Largemouth Bass With Small Boats
Summer is quickly approaching, and bass fisherman everywhere are getting their gear ready in their garages, dreaming about finding the fish of a lifetime, or just finding a honey hole that no one else has found. Often times, bass fishing is done on huge impoundments with bass boats, you know, those 19 foot long monsters that have 100hp motors, and enough electronics to find every bass within 300 feet of the boat. But, the most experienced fisherman know that to find a bass fishing goldmine, you need to find some out of the way places-usually. The way to do that is either to motor out on a bass boat 5 miles into a reservoir, or to take a small fishing boat into a motor restricted lake or pond.
Most real fisherman don’t care about the size and power of their boat. They care about catching fish, either big ones, or tons of fish. Yeah, yeah, the scenery is always nice, but the fish is usually what keeps you up the night before you go fishing, and the fish are usually what makes you trip all the way down to the water as you run to get there. And it’s the fish that get you lost in the woods in total darkness. When you can’t even see the scenery, when it’s pitch black outside, it’s the fish that keep you glued to a spot, not the surroundings.
Many times the best fishing is just out of reach of the shore angler. You just stare at a spot in a body of water that you wish you could get to, you know there are some monster bass in that one spot that you can’t reach with your casts. The answer to this problem is to get a small, inexpensive, inflatable fishing boat that you can pack up in your car and take with you easily to any fishing spot you want to explore.
