Just curious what gets you on the water for bass fishing

For me, it's fact that any next cast could yield a large fish, or potentially a new PB if you're in the right waters.

I have a multi species boat; 1995 TRACKER PRO DEEP V 16, when I was looking it was the only thing I could find in my price range that didn't need a pile of money to get on the water. It came with  an ancient Humming bird LCR, 36 foot lb motor Guide and 40 horse Merc. It's 16 foot long, 72 inches wide deep V the 40 merc was adequate, the tm was way under powered and the shaft was too short, the first things changed were the tm and Humming bird. I had an HDS 5 that went on the bow and an HDS 7 Gen 2 touch that went on the console. I replaced the Motor Guide with a Minn Kota POWERDRIVE 55 ft. lb and I-Pilot, the POWERDRIVE was replaced by a TERROVA and later I put I-PILOT on it, the PD foot control sucked for what I was doing.
It's not the best for bass fishing but it gets me out, I tow it with a 4 banger 2 wheel drive no problem so I'm happy, I get out.

substitute 'out there'.    ;)

many of the best things in life happen OUTSIDE.  on the water is absolutely the best place to be. 









but you have to pay attention.  key moments are just that:  moments.  don't let them go by!

Kayak, Jon boat, Bass boat, and I use and enjoy them all. Oh yeah- I'll walk the banks too.

I use a boat and a Pond Prowler (small 10' fiberglass boat), and I also walk the banks. If I could just remember to set my phone to I am away when I go out.

Nature gets me out, and it seems the water has its own special way of getting you away from civilization.
