    New to the site... I'm from the Cap District and was curious to know if there are any smaller lakes or ponds that people recommend or what you've caught or heard reported. I usually fish for largemouth, smallmouth, pike...walleye if present. Fishing out of a Coleman crawdad so the larger bodies of water are kind of out of its league.

    I picked up a used pelican bass raider 10e for free. I assume they did not want money for it because the foam on the inside is waterlogged. I am going to attempt to separate the two halves and remove the foam and plywood. I will replace the plywood but am unsure if I can get an exact replacement for the styrofoam. I can install a different type of closed cell foam. I am also assuming that the foam does not add any type of structural support internally. Has anyone attempted this with this boat? Any advice?

    looking for a small boat for my pond. Interested in the Bass Hunter boats EX 120. Does anyone know if they hold water along the sides and in cup holder. I want to keep it out on my pond tied to pier, but not sure if it is a pain every time it rains? I see the bottom has a drain but curious about the sides? Any clue if that is an issue?

    I frequently fish from my 16’ canoe with electric motor. I’ve found that managing more than 3 rods, in my half of the boat, is really a pain. Currently carrying a 7’1” m/h a 7’10” m/h (that needs to be repaired or replaced) and a 6’6” med. spinning setup. Curious to know what other people carry in their small boats. Also interested in any small boat tips/tricks you all may be willing to share. TIA. -Mackley

    Hi Folks, 6 weeks ago I bought a 12 ft semi-V jon boat. Was excited about the purchase, it gets me out on the water, and it is functional. But it is not the boat that my 14 foot flat bottom jon boat was. It is wobbly on the water. Even when I'm sitting still in a cove, it is wobbly. When I open up at high speed on the lake. I have to sit in the direct center of the boat or it will tip to one side and possibly take on water. Yesterday while fishing in a cove I decided to shove my adjustable seat clear against the side of the boat. I wanted to set back and rest my legs up on the bench while sitting back on the seat. I heard a noise and looked down to my left and the boat was taking on water. Have noticed when I make a sharp turn with this boat. I feel like I am going to fall out of it. But when I had my 14 foot jon boat. I never took on water from leaning back and relaxing. It was never unusually wobbly even while sitting still. On my jon boat I could shove my seat clear over to the side of the bench, rest my legs on the rest of the bench, and navigate the boat perfectly with a 9.9 h.p. Johnson. This little semi-v is doing what it's supposed to do. I just have to be extra careful with it. But you can be sure that I will be looking for a bargain on a used 14 or 16 foot flat bottom jon next spring.

    Hey Bass Resource, So I just moved down to the Metro Detroit area (Novi/Farmington Hills). I used to live a few hours north and fished team bass tournaments with my Dad and we used his boat. I also had access to it pretty much whenever I wanted to borrow it (hooray!). I can't afford a nice Ranger 185VS which I'm accustomed to fishing in the last 5 years or so with him, but I'd like to look into getting a small boat for the mass amount of smaller lakes that are down here. I guess I'm looking for opinions on what would be a better investment. Should I look into some of the smaller aluminum boats that I could pull with a crossover/suv that would be easy to take around to all the little lakes around here? Or should I look for an older fiberglass boat? I don't have a truck, or really want to get one anytime soon, so a full sized boat seems to be pretty much out of the question for now. I have nothing against Bass Trackers or other similar style aluminum boats especially seeing as I don't expect to be doing any tournament fishing in this, just fun fishing. I would like something I can stand up in, so I think I'm looking at the Bass Tracker "style" boats or smaller fiber boats only. So I'm staying clear of tiny john boats and canoe/kayaks. Are they any brands or models that I should steer clear of to avoid getting a boat and having to work on it constantly or having constant problems? Thanks!
