Buying a New boat.
What would you guys recommend for starting out.
Don't have a lot of cash. Would you recommend getting a used John boat Since I fish mainly small lakes. |

A jon boat sounds good for you if you are short on cash and fish small lakes.

Around what size cuz im in the same boat as him? The lake that i wanna fish on is around 75 acres and has a lot of shore line! Ive only fished it from shore! But Hula says its really good in a boat so im looking for one to use!

Chris do you think fishing from the bank helps you in anyway. I think it helps me to slow down and fish better but i am limited to where i can fish

Re: Buying a New boat.
for small lakes and ponds....i would get something like a 12' jon boat. i fish from shore too, and alot of lakes arnt accessible by the shore...so i too need a boat......but right now i just go out in my stepdads boat when we go fishin...but i want my own since alot of times he goes for other fish, and doesnt go to good bass lakes :-/ but sometimes he does so for now its ok...but i would get a 12' jon boat....and dont forget the PFD's

you dont need to buy the fancy shmancy ones...as long as it keeps you afloat...i think they have to be vests tho....im not sure.
