[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3760663, member: 35036"] So I’ve been selling some guns and stuff, was gonna build a fancy custom switch barrel rifle. Decided a boat and a cheap rifle would be a lot more fun for now. So I found a pretty sweet deal on one, should be picking it up tomorrow. I’ve never owned a boat, and have actually only fished out of a boat a dozen times. A proper fishing boat twice. So pretty clueless. I understand the ideas of launching, getting the boat up on plane, don’t run over stumps or rocks, and getting the boat back on the trailer, but otherwise, I’m a little clueless. Any advice/pointers? Drive the boat around til I find somewhere worth fishing/see something on the fish finder and get after it? Anything I should want to consider buying for the boat? Items that have made life easy? Lessons I could learn from other’s experiences before I screw up myself? I’m really excited about this. Have dreamed of having a fishing boat for as long as I can remember. I live 4 miles from Arcadia, figure that would be my first stop. Probably try to hit metro area lakes first to get my feet wet. [/QUOTE]
