Bay Boat ?

**chodie1** · 08-23-2010, 05:28 PM

I think I noticed someone on this site using a bay boat for crappie. Is it used just for trolling? I have a chance on a real good deal, but it looks like a 19.5' boat would be mostly for trolling. Any comments , appreciated. thanks

Dondon has one. For big rough lake trolling they work good, go for it!

PM Dondon, he's got a Palm Beach, I think 21', he uses it for pulling cranks, spiderrigging, single poling. Seems to like it.

Mines 18 1/2 foot and NO, not just troilling. I have it rigged up with 8 rod holders up front for Spider rigging and I can put a pole in each hand and ease around as well. ONLY bad thing about it to me is when you're in a stump field, hard to get around in there as well when the wind is blowing. I do finally have it down pretty decent when the winds not blowing though as far as working my way through the stumps. 1st pic of (and don't look at my wife. LOL) the trolling rod setups for pulling cranks and the 2nd pic if you'll look real close at the front of the boat, you'll see a 4 rod holder in the middle and 2, 2 rod holders on each side. I also have an Add A Seat so we can sit side by side when spider rigging
