To go lake fishing, all you really need is the boat and your fishing rod and tackle. To get the most out of fishing, though, you can make some minor conversions to your boat for improved convenience and comfort. There are many types of boats out there appropriate for lake fishing, and they range from sailboats to power boats to bass boats to canoes. Adjust your needs to suit your particular lake boat.
Instructions
- 1 Add seats to your boat. Fishing involves a lot of sitting, and if you have anything bigger than a canoe, you want to have a comfortable place to sit. Find the seat that is right for your boat and your budget. It is unlikely that you will need any kind of heavy fighting chair or harness. Installing a seat will likely require you to drill into your hull. Do so carefully.
2 Install rod holders on larger boats or horizontal racks on smaller boats. These will give you a convenient and out of the way place to store your fishing rods when they are not in use.
3 Install a bait well if you power boat does not have one. This will keep your fish fresh, whether it is your catch or your bait.
4 Consider painting your boat. Light colored boats are more difficult for fish to see, while dark boats stand out in sharp relief to the sky.
5 Purchase catch nets to help land your fish.
6 Have proper hooks for your location and know how to remove them without causing undue trauma to the fish.
7 Have the right bait or tackle and a way to store it. Bait boxes and tackle boxes can go a long way in keeping your boat organized. Know what kind of fish goes for what kind of bait.
8 Have the right size rods. This depends on your location and the type of fishing you are doing.
