Boater or NON Boater?

[Bass_Akwards]

Just wanted to see who the shore anglers are and who the boaters are at BR. 

Do you own a boat/float tube or fish from ONLY from shore?

If you have a picture of your rig, put it up here please.

I don't own a boat so I fish from shore.  Unless I'm fishing a tournament or hook up with a boater for a trip.  Mostly shore though.

I don't own a boat, buy my friend has 2 boats at the lake which I have the keys to, and have access to any time I want.  I fish from shore off the docks fairly often when I don't have enough time to get out in the boat though.

[Sam]

Have a boat.

Have a rubber tube for tubing, not fishing.

Have a raft for fishing.

Fish ponds from the bank, too.

I am a co-angler for my club tournaments, if not I am a shore/ belly boater.

2008 Ranger Reata 186 with a Yamaha Four stroke 150hp. I love this boat. Its great for fishing and days with my family. Also have a 14ft aluminum with a 15hp Tohatsu. I got the aluminum boat and motor for my 8th borthday and it still runs like it was new.

Had a nice 16' ProCraft bass boat with a 75 hp Merc but only used it twice the whole time I owned it. I prefer this Freestyle H3 pontube at the lake I normally fish (no boats allowed there anyway). Still, I think I may get me another small bass boat later this year.

This is my first boat of my very own and not surprisingly, I already want a bigger one. It's a pretty nice boat but it's kind of cramped with 2 hardcore anglers and their gear. I hate the rod boxes too. Very hard to get longer rods in and out of them. Other than that, it's a nice boat for your first.

PS:  Boat is a 2006 PT190TX with a 75 merc optimax on it.

2002 Triton Tr-186 Merc 150 XR6. I shore fish alot run the creeks for smallmouth Im thinking about getting a yak soon.

I'm mostly a shore fisherman these days. I sold my last boat about 15 years ago after an industrial accident left me with a compromised sense of balance and some mobility issues. I'll sometimes ride with a buddy, but I don't trust myself alone in a boat anymore.

Strictly shore fishing for me. Sometimes I will rent a boat. I do want a boat.

I am currently fishing from shore, but looking to buy my first boat this year.

[Grey Wolf]

I do both.

[Fishing Rhino]

My paddlin' canoe.

My larger, more stable, trolling motor canoe. Well, what little you can see of it with the rod rack and the trolling motor behind me.

My latest acquisition.

[RoLo]

I've done more than my fair share of boat angling and shore angling (fresh & salt).

This is one guy who'll never lose his love and respect for shore fishing.

Once upon a time I fished from the bank alot. Then I acquired a little pond boat and a belly boat and I fished from the shore less. Then I got a better boat and I fished from the shore less. My current boat is a 2002 Lowe . I'd put up a picture, but I don't know how to post pictures.

I haven't forgotten my bank fishing roots, but I'm older now and I'm glad I don't have to bank fish now.

Gets me around just fine at over 60mph.......................

I love your Z-7  ,very nice Bro.

I have a 16 foot alum boat now but I will be looking at either a Z-7 or Z8 next year

[unageo09]

1994 16 1/2 foot MonArk Bassboat 160 with a 40 HP Force Motor. Not a speed demon but it gets me to where I want and need to go.

[Leever]

I fish out of kayaks mostly. You can get up in the reeds where an actual bass boat can't. Whenever I need a bigger boat I just call up a buddy and we hit the lake.
