Dogs in your boat while you fish?

Aw.. a bullmastiff... if that dog went overboard GOOD LUCK pulling him back in..Might as well try to yank a 6 foot man on board.

a bullmastiff huh? beautiful dog,

i have an englihs mastiff, but she wont come out in no boat

nmy little pug cut his foot the last time we went out on my inflatble and he was running around with blood going EVERYWHERE....

he was painting and tryiong to jump out....

IT WAS HORRIBLE! :'(

the noise he was making sounded horrible, and people were fleeing from the area when they heard it....

Might NOT be such a good idea on an INFLATABLE. Dogs can really get restless and figity if they've never been on something like that before, especially the first time out. 2 adults AND a dog on an 11 foot boat? I wouldn't risk it! IMO:o)

Excellent advice! Even having dog's as well trained as this I wouldn't attempt it not even in a canoe or jon boat. A sturdy well balanced boat w/plenty of room so that casting is uninhibited and curious noses don't get hooked is a different story. Care for them enough not to take that risk and enjoy your outing. Take it come from a professional

hahahaha great picture, thats gunna be my background for awhile

Here is my dog on a fishing trip to Lake Orange.  He is helping me watch for any top water action.

i have a lab and took him a few times as a pup to get used to the boat (he's a duck hunting dawg)... he's pretty good but.. as is the case with black dogs.. he gets hot in the sun and just randomly jumps in.

If you've ever tried to hoist and 96lb lab into a bass boat.. you'll understand why he only goes out duck hunting with me now ;D

Once as a pup he tried to eat the trebles of my buddies popper.... still can't believe he didn't get hooked.

He's an awesome dog though and my best bud

Very nice pic's!!!!! BEAUTIFUL PUP! As much as I love my Weimaraner I think my next will be a Lab. Zig just can't handle the cold and not to thrilled about a hike or hunt unless it's 50 or above. Now that I think of it I'm starting to fee the same way!

we have a golden ret. her name is abby

and she has been once while we were inshore fishing for redfish

she is still a young gun so she is wild but suprisingly she was okay until we started shrimping of the bow of the boat.

she jumped once and that was it for her

we let her float down current for about 45 seconds and she learned her lesson after that:)

for the rest of the day she lay under the console and didnt move

once we anchored up under the bridge my dad caught a 33 inch redfish. she was so terrified/

she enjoyed the last 69 mph run back to the ramp

i wish we would take her more often

she was not too bad

thanks for reading

I would take him if I was shore fishing. I would never take him on a boat. Iam afraid if he jumped of I couldn't get back on the boat. He part lab ane rot. Last time i checked he was weighting in at 130 lbs.

awesome pictures guys! I'm glad I got to see all these amazing dogs =)

[jrhennecke]

Took the girlfriends dog out a couple of times and it was ok.  There just isn't alot of room though.

I met a guy on a lake that trained his dog to bring the net to him every time he said "its a hog"

I brought my golden out in the canoe once, and he was great.  I'll try to find the pictures.  It's just a bit too much of a hassle to take him out though.

I do take him shorefishing quite a bit, for smallies in NH and for trout in CT.  It took a while to train him not to chase my lures, but now he stays by my side instead of jumping in.

I'll never forget I was fishing Moodus Reservoir in CT, and there was a guy in a pontoon boat driving around at about 35 mph.  His dog was right up front with his front paws on the front seat, head up high, wind ripping through his fur.  I'm not sure I've ever seen a happier pooch  ;D

My 8 year old black lab gets to ride with me about 5 times a year. She stands behind me with her head between my legs watching my every move. She retrieved a 5 lber for me while I was bank fishing a local pond and the fish got hung in some cattails. She went in got the fish and brought it to me without harming it. I praised her, and now she thinks she needs to bring em all to me. The heat normally cuts our trips short. She's with the ex-wife now, until I get my house anyway(can't wait to get her back).
