I bet with that motor on those solo skiffs you wont catch near the amount of yellows as a kayak. Just saying. Yea you can cover more ground, but hell, those things are made for offshore style fishing. I wonder how well it does with a little swell action as well, adding a seat makes center of gravity pretty high. GL brother!

hahaha! Yeahhhh a 2 hp 4 stoke motor will totally ruin your chances at inshore yellows.

"Kayaks catch more fish than skiffs"... I've heard that one before

To the OP. Depending on the reasons you don't like kayaking you might want to look into a 12 ft aluminum skiff. They are usually cheaper, drier, and easier to launch than a kayak.

I've thought about getting me a little Jon boat, but I'm afraid I'd sink the damn thing offshore.

How many times in LJ have you seen the PB's getting all butthurt at kayakers for catching fish( as they set anchor and throw 50 lines out) and how many times have you been on a fish and " here come the PB's racing up on you trying to throw their baits out in hopes of getting on a bite." Now this is for LJ I speak of, which is where im assuming he's going with that SOLO idea, seems it definitely isn't going offshore, that's for sure.

Plus " Flacco ", shouldn't you be starting training camp soon?? HAHHHAA

Sounds like you're saying the only reason private boaters don't catch fish is because PB's are idiots? I assumed you meant motors make them noisier which results in PB's catching less fish... because that is what you said in your previous post....my bad. I didn't know you thought so badly about power boats/ private boaters!

That said i'm pretty sure I've seen kayakers doing the same things you described above..... I have seen kayakers paddle up to (and drift to close anchored PB's) and try to throw their baits out in hopes of getting a bite.... etc, butt hurt, etc.

And the only power boat that can cast 50 lines is a sport or charter boat... never seen that on a private boat. But I'm in now way an expert.

I've done ok in a boat.

Dannowar · 04-10-2017, 02:03 PM

I'm a firm believer the noise vibration from the motor in low gear to troll slow enough is less efficient when it comes to fishing inshore. Now that's my GOD DAMN OPINION, if you don't like then then then then oh well...hahhaha
That is all my friend....
