Types of Fishing Boats - Part 1

If the fishing bug has got you hook, line and sinker and perhaps you're looking at getting yourself a fishing boat, but you're unsure of which one to purchase... Here's a few types that you might want to consider.

The All-Purpose Fishing Boat

Built for versatility, these boats can be used in both salt water and freshwater. They are designed to navigate many different types of waterways so you can pursue many different species of fish.


The Aluminium Fishing Boat
Small, lightweight and durable trailer boats made of aluminum are most often used for freshwater fishing. Generally very simple craft, featuring riveted or welded aluminum hulls and bench seating, they can be operated in fish-friendly places - shallow water, coves, inlets - not many other boats can reach. Powered primarily by outboard engines, this type of boat offers both tiller and remote steering options.


The Bass Boat
Bass boats have low, sleek profiles and are built to fish with two or three anglers on board. The minimum length of bass boats starts with 16 feet and can go up to 26 feet.


Centre Consoles
These open fishing boats are built to take rough offshore waters in pursuit of ocean fish. Rod holders, outriggers and other gear are common fittings onboard.

HAPPY FISHING!
