I have been on many a camping trip and hoisted my canoe on the top of my truck just in case I wanted a little recreation aside from my beloved fishing. I even thought of trying to fish from my little boat, but if you have ever tried to fish from a canoe, you will have noticed that they tip over if you are not centered in the right spot. I found this out first hand.

On most of my fishing trips, I never even took the little boat off the truck. What a waste of time, I thought, and I told myself that I would never ever bring that thing with me again. But, I guess I was just stupid because I took in along on every weekend excursion that I went on.

If I took my wife and son with me, I would tell myself that they could use it. What a dreamer! They hardly got away from the camp site over to the water. To many bugs they said.

Well, I was fishing from the shore like I always did and wanted to make sure I got the best spot so I would not get my line tangled up when I reeled tonight’s dinner in and low and behold, I get a bite. That sucker took the bait and swam out into the lake as fast and his little fins could carry him. I started to reel him in and you know what happened…my fishing line get caught in some underwater brush or tree or whatever is down there and I have to cut my line and dinner swims away.

How many times has this happened to you? I would rant and scream. My thought I was crazy. She is not the true fisherman that I am. My little boy is only 2 so he didn’t understand. But I did.

My family has a history with boats. Performance boats, pontoon boats, skiff boats, you name it and I have been around it. Problem is that we did not have extra money to buy a boat and to tell you the truth, I never thought I would need one.

Well guys, let me tell you that a little aluminum boat changed my way of fishing forever. I borrowed a friends aluminum fishing boat one weekend and took myself out on the lake. I was just amazed at the size of fish that I caught compared to the ones I tried to hook and drag to shore.

I even went out and bought a small portable boat that was inflatable so I would be able to take it with me. Worked pretty good until I snagged the side. I sank and got wet. Lost my good rod and reel too. Don’t buy an inflatable boat….not for any reason…LOL!

I started searching for an aluminum jon boat with a trailer to pull behind my truck. I have to say that there are quite a few models out there to choose from. I had to learn how to search for the right words so I could weed out what I did not want as opposed to what I really did want and could afford.

If your looking for fishing watercraft, I can help you with your decision making. I have been there and and teach you the ropes so you don’t waste a lot of your time.

Don’t you get tired of loosing your catch. I did! Found out that used jon boats make a big difference in what you catch and what you don’t catch. Believe me, I never though that aluminum jon boats could ever make a difference in the size of fish I caught. I was just amazed as you can see from my trophy catch in the upper right corner of this page.

To me, the jon boat manufacturers are to be thanked over and over again, because I have noticed a “huge” difference in the size of my fish since I got my jon boat.

I had once thought that a bass boat would be the way to go, but you can’t get in those tight little corners like an aluminum jon boat can. Best fishing you will ever do, no matter if you are on a camping trip or just out for recreation. There is nothing like a good ole used jon boat to get you to the fishing spot to catch your trophy.

In my blog, I will show you how to find the best jon boats for sale and where you can get the quickest and best deal possible.
