Primarily small mouth bass but just about anything that is biting. I sometimes take my boat to the gulf coast and fish near shore or in Mobile bay too. Here is a stock photo from the Starcraft website.

Diehard,
Do you ever feel handicapped by that semi vee? Always thought Starcrafts were nice rigs.

I have never had any real problems. I bought it because I wanted the whole family to have room to move around in the boat. I am not going anywhere at warp speed, but I will get there. I can fish four people comfortably and it will seat 9 when I take the front casting seat out. It has plenty of dry storage, two rod lockers and two live wells. I know I can't run the clinch in it, but then again I can't take a river boat three miles off shore in the gulf either.

One problem I didn't foresee was getting people back on the boat if they have been out swimming. I solved that by adding a fin to the motor. I could have added a ladder to the back, but the fin works fine. The fin helps me get on plane sooner too.

:party: I just recently bought an old beat up jon boat with a 40 hp Force motor. The weather's been so bad since I bought it I've not been on the water with it yet. Richard's posts have got me chompin at the bit to try it out on some Crappie! :drool:

I fish for everything, but my favorite to catch is trout. I need a boat that can do everything from shallow river fishing, to lake fishing for bass and crappie, and also get me/us to our hunting locations.

21 foot Stratos Pro Elite with a 200 horse Johnson. I Bass fish Dale Hollow, Ft Loudon, Tellico, Watts Bar, and Melton Hill. I also have a Jackson Cruise 12 Kayak that I river, lake, and pond fish out of. An 18-20 foot center console aluminum boat would be about the best all around do all boat for TN.

I like to fish shallow water rivers. Crappie in the spring comes second. My boat is a RiverPro. 200 hp mercury inboard jet. It handles shallow water with ease.
