Fishing Boats, Let's See Um!

[Idaho4x4Bronco]

I didn't see a already existed show us your boat thread on google or searching, and have lately gotten back into my love for fishing.

Let's see your fishing boat

I'm becoming addicted to trolling for fish, so trolling pics are cool too!

My grandpa passed this down to me, we fished on it all the time since I was a tiny kid. He is still alive but has moved on to a bigger boat

Trolled last week for Kokanee, got a dozen and kept a few really nice ones.....thought they were springer Chinook at first..

We're going out tomorrow to troll for big trout, can't say enough how absolutely amazing I-Pilot is. Game changing and life changing lol

Here are some troll caught springers from a couple weeks ago, and my little sled. It’s a cool little boat for local fisheries, and it’s in the shop getting a be 40/60hp jet on it... it’s a big platform for a small boat...

Just bought this while home visiting family in Indiana. Hauled it all the way back to Idaho. Can wait to actually get out and use it. It's 2002 Lowe aluminum with a 95 mercury 100 on the back. I couldn't pass it up for $5500. you can kinda see my other boat in the background. It's a classic accessories xlt pontoon

I don't have pics but my current "boat" is a Hobie Pro Angler. Great for sight fishing for trout! One of these year's I'll find the right bass boat....boy those things are spendy!

Ah hell yea! I love my fishing boat. It’s built in 1994. Magnum co now known as Workskiff. I use it, and consider it a modular conversion system. One of its conversions is for Halibut and Salmon salt water fishing. Because of the welded aluminum construction it’s also functional for river work, prop rules. I’ve redone all its systems and it’s completely water resistant. The 100 gallon fuel system sits forward in three separate welded tanks with valve stops and inline filtration pre water separator. It’s very well balanced and has served well for long expedition style coastal excursions to both hunting and fishing locals. It’s the Workskiff Magnum.

Some awesome boats up there.

My 1999 Clackacraft still going strong and 2018 Nitro. This will be my last year with the Nitro, moving up in size to handle the Great Lakes more often. Welded the safety ladder into a dog ladder for the old man.

Life is too short not to take advantage of what your area has to offer. Really starting to notice that as I get older and I am surrounded by water here in North ID.

How do you pull that off? I'm learning how to set up rigs for trolling, actually caught my first "trolling fish" on Father's day. With 2 guys, how many rods can you *safely* run?

On lake Pend Orielle here, there's no limit on rods from a boat. At this point, I am trying to learn how to pull 2 rods on a single downrigger and learning how to rig a rod correctly.

Here's my first trout off a trolling rod a week ago. Don't mind all the weight my fat ass has gained Covid muscle!

Weldcraft we use for Kokanee and salmon on CDA and Hayden. Planning on getting to PO here in N Idaho soon. Year round boating with the Wallis diesel heater.
