What kind of bass boat (aluminum, fiberglass) would be ideal for this situation?
I live in Louisiana and want to buy a bass boat. I'm going to be fishing for bass in false river, Lake Cataouatche, and maybe caney lake. I will also be fishing for reds and specs in the marsh. What kind of boat should I get?
Aluminum. You are probably going to deal with a lot of stumps and shallow water. Fiberglass boats can get messed up pretty bad on stumps where as aluminum can bounce right off. Also aluminum boats draft less water making them better for shallow water. The 2009 Bassmaster Classic held on the Red River many pros brought both fiberglass and aluminum rigs with some going aluminum to get around better in the shallow stump fields. A nich center console aluminum would be cool. I'm looking at getting one myself.
