Don’t let the kids hang off the front while underway.
If sun gets to be too much a canopy can be added up front as well as the back portion over the helm.
Fold up ladder for the stern is handy.

Fishing the Intracoastal in Jupiter, FL and find 8’ rod too unwieldy from boat around docks, pilings and mangroves. Targeting snook, redfish and anything else that will bite. My 7’ freshwater rod with 10lb mono is too light but I feel it’s the right length. Thinking med/heavy action with 20lb mono. Expect to use a 3000 series spinning reel. Also thinking ‘made in the USA’.

Hose your gear down real well afterwards. Salt is hell on reels especially.

16’ Lowe V-hull jonboat with a 25hp four stroke always got me out and got me back. Side console with steering and remote motor tilt, swivel seats, extended bow deck with storage below. Plenty of room for a fishing buddy and gear.

Good idea. I’m interested in a boat club, too. Probably some answers on YouTube.

Take two rods minimal. Medium and medium heavy. It depends on what you come across. Be prepared.

It’s all about the seat for me. I need to be comfortable. Here are a couple of pics of one I saw with a very nice looking seat. Some retailers have a demo day when you can try out different models.

Identify your location so we can offer advice. Be specific. Buy live bait. Small shiners for example. #3 circle hook through upper lip.

Canopy leg sandbags. Durable and have handles and Velcro straps.

DID you get it apart? I’ve had trouble doing that myself. Try soaking in kerosene or mineral spirits, then lube.

Great fish can be found at the Tidehouse restaurant overlooking a marina as well as Sailors Return.

Live bait. Get yourself some shiners and hook them through the upper lip only so they can still ‘breathe’. Catch your own on a sabiki rig.
