jon fishing boats
a good trolling motor for a 10ft to 12ft jon boat?
I go fishing alot usually I bank fish and once in a great while I will use a paddle boat
so I have never really looked into trolling motors
I have no idea how to mount one on a boat or even use one
which its probably pretty simple but anyways.....
recently I have been looking into getting a jon boat
I am not sure if I want a 10 or 12 footer yet
any suggestions on what kind I should get for a 10 or 12 ft jon boat?
or videos on how to mount one on a boat?
links to pictures would be nice thanks
i seen one answer that was talking about gas motors ..but the lake I fish at most of the time you can't have gas motors just a heads up for future answers
hi
this happens to be an area i know a little bit about ,
a trolling motor wont push a 10 or 12 ft john boat very well what you might check into is a gheenoe i have had 3 gheenoes with trolling motors and it is the perfect combination a 36 lb thrust trolling motor will push it 7 or 8 miles per hour on a hot day thats just fast enough to create a cool breeze very manuverable a gheenoe is a canoe that has had some modifications done you can stand up in it, you can throw a castnet off of it ,it wont tip over.
check out gheen manufacturing in titusville florida, also custom gheenoes .com
if you are dead set on a john boat get a 10 or 15 h.p. gas outboard motor that would push a 12 ft at about 15 -18 mph.
now go catch a fish will ya

Fishing Big John talks about fishing line,boats and captains
Can I fish for Bass off a pier?
I just started fishing, and had a question on fresh water pier fishing. When I go with my friend, we rent a Jon Boat and fish all over the lake. But if I just want to fish for a couple of hours in the morning, or go by myself, I don't want to spend the money on a boat and motor etc.
So, am I going to get as many strikes fishing from a pier, and do I need to change up my bait and fishing style?
Thanks for your help.
The structure of a pier is a great place to fish. You want to be able to cast underneath or into the shadows if possible. Try different times of the day and diffferent lures to pass time. Try bouncing a worm off the bottom when reeling it in, try a dropshot rig or just bring a lure down the length of it, try everything and you will get a bite.
Lots of times they sit in the shadows once they come back from topwater feeding. They will still strike when you put something in front of them.
If you do that every time, it could well become one of the better spots you fish, with or without the boat once you know how to fish it.
I guarantee you, if there are bass in that lake, some are under the pier, you just need to figure out how to get them out.
I have relatives in Northern Az near Sedona. To this day I have caught more bass on Oak Creek than any lake or river I've been on and it's not a huge water way (20-30 feet wide). Granted they don't get real big (best largemouth I pulled from there is 3.5lbs) but I know how to fish and can just about guarantee bass on any given day, sometimes by the dozens.
