Pedal Boat
« on: Apr 17, 2007, 12:09 AM »
I got a pedal boat last fall for free and it suits my fishing styles pretty good, i fish a small river for the most part but it is also stable enough to handle some 2-3ft waves if one person is in it without some water splashing over and 2 with some water splashing over. i am installing some rod holders, fish finder mount, storage space where the back seats are which will also be able to use as a casting platform. i am going to buy a trolling motor for it so by the time im done working on it, it will be perfect for me and 1-2 buddies, we have fished 4 people in this befor on the river and if you cast side arm it isnt a big deal. anybody else use a pedal boat for fishing? i was in the market for a large canoe or small aluminum boat but the price was right on this. still looking for a cheap kayak for solo trips on the river so portage over the dam will be easier by myself any suggestions on a cheap but good kayak? i will post pics of the boat next week when i bring it back to start working on it.

we use our paddle boat for trolling.  we either paddle or hook up a trolling motor if it is windy. We have caught a lot of fish just trolling a rubber worm behind the boat.

I have used mine before. It kind of fun when you hook into a mid sized pike, they actually pull the boat around.
