Is this boat good for fishing on lakes(not large ones)? I am specifically looking to take it on the water to do fishing with one other person.

I think this is just a fun in the sun toy...I would buy a cloth reinforced craft for fishing as I think this is too lite for being banged around on a fishing expedition...

I have taken this boat on a small lake along with a bigger boat. it is hard to control its direction, fits one perfect 2 fit tight but doable holds up to 350lbs I believe, but I also have a challenger 2person inflatable kayak that work a lot better for what you are looking for and fishing

Your good with just putting it in the,back of your truck it will fit just perfect,It's a great boat your gone love the way you can get in and out of small ponds and lakes I can move it myself not bad at all but don't waste money on a trailer cause it will only hang over your truck about 2 feet but your good when hauling it on the road.

No, this is a great boat but I would suggest only using it on smaller lakes. If you are looking to take an inflatable boat into the ocean there's only one choice...a Zodiak.

It's a nice boat . It's more fun if you have like 5 of them and start racing with your friend in lake or pool .

The boat is unbelievably stable- rough water- not an issue, the danger (to this boat) is up near the bank, rocks and other "sharps".... Fishing hooks as well. Rough water, it will handle it fine. For big water I would go 55ln MinnKota with biggest battery you can find, or. 3.5 horse Tohatsu outboard. Don't beach this boat, get out knee. High water and walk it in- I'm warning you... Otherwise its bulletproof...

I really like this little boat for small pond and small lake fishing. The boat is light weight (without the battery in) and will slide nicely in your short bed pickup. I mounted my trolling motor on the front, as it is a lot nicer to control the boat, and when you slide it in your pickup you will have the front of the boat sticking out past the tail gate about 2' which is not problem. A couple of bungee cords hooked to the front of the boat and back to the tie downs on your pickup, and your ready to go. When one person is fishing in the boat, the rear of the boat has a tendency to swing around with the trolling motor on the front. I cured this problem nicely by throwing a collapsable metal fish basket over the back of the boat, and tying it off to one of the lifting handles. I bought the complete package deal boat, trolling motor, and battery box (you will have to purchase a deep cycle battery, it doesn't come with the boat). I don't like the battery box, as it sits to high and the back seat will not slide all the way back, so I just put my battery in without the battery box, thus allowing the seat to go back all the way which gives more room for 2 people in the boat. For the price, I don't think you can beat this little boat.

I took the boat about a hundred yards off the shore to fish in new England once and it did fine. You would probably get towed around if you were catching bigger fish but that sounds like a good time to me. Rinse it off with fresh water after you're done tho.

I wouldn't. Oars don't work too well. Floor isn't sturdy for rapids. Nothing to hold onto for rapids. Shallow boat I think it would tip easy. Good boat for floating or fishing that is about it.

you could if you did some modifications to the boat like add a wood floor and a center battery/drybox in the middle and made your own latches on the battery box, I made those modifications and used the battery box as the center seat with the inflatable cushion and 2 lawn chairs for the driver and front passengers..awesome fishing boat!! people offer to buy it from me all the time!!

I have a 7x14, and it gets me around fine on reservoirs, except during heavy winds.. I have a backup 55 ft lb, I've used on occasion to help.. All in all, it's fine for me, but more power couldnt hurt. Because of the areas I fish, I do not have a gas motor..As far as fishing and trolling, no problem at all getting around, but traveling to and from fishing spots is a little slower. I carry 2 big batteries, and so far never used both up..Hope this helps

I would not recommend this product. The first boat I bought, the remote did not work. The replacement boat, the remote worked but the engine did not. I would recommend the Aviva Sports ranger fishing boat. We bought this and loved it. Just be very careful around boat antenna. I accidentally broke it. I bought another one through treasure chest for 34.99. Pro Bass sells this boat too, for about the same price. They seemed to be out of them. I hope this helps.

You can fish from the boat. It has rod holders and the cooler section could be used to keep bait. Really depends on how serious of a fisherman you are. Some fishermen require a lot of room for their junk. I put it in the back of my pickup truck with the canopy down of course - it only weighs 110 lbs.

yes pretty fun little boat,when you are done playing with it. just always leave the top off,and upside after playing,to let it dry out!careful with little antenna tube it is fragile !charge the battery using a timer,to avoid burning it up! set timer to about hour and a half!

without any doubt, yes you can. in terms of one or two people there is plenty of room for both the individual or the two for both and the tackle and gear. even if you were to drop a hook or knife, unless you were to directly stab or slash at the kayak yiu won't puncture it. this thing can hold 450 pounds. so it is very safe for lake fishing. however oceans and shark fishing, probably not.but, yes is the short answer.

Yes it is a good mobile fishing rod for lakes, creeks, or any place you see might have a bass or catfish in it. I would not use it in salt water for larger fish though. I have had no problems with it in the lakes I have fished and caught several bass, crappie, and catfish on it.

It would absolutely survive a river run. There are some sturdy loops you can use to connect this to others. We've had one for about 7 years now and use it heavily for lounging out in the lake all summer long. It's faded and worn looking, but structurally great. It's the "anchor" for our flotilla too. We connect an anchor and 2 to 5 more floats to it. It's awesome!
