re: Difference in fishing from Skiff, Flats, and Bay

I got two.

My nephew and I bought our tracker Grizzly’s with trailers new a few months before Covid-19. I think he may have paid $7,200 new and I paid $8,500 (boat, trailer, engine, reconditioned trollmotor).

My 1648 tracker Grizzly nothing in it with 40 hp tiller. It tight with two people but works.
Rigged it out with running lights, electronics, stereo, and 24 v trollmotor. Simple and easy to clean. Fish Pearl, chef pass, spillway, marshes South of Houma, Okissha, oxbow lakes, and False River.

Nephew has the Grizzly 1448 with 25 hp Mercury. Two people can fish it, but it is tight. He fished alone more. One person it is a pretty sweet boat for marshes and HP restricted areas like Lacassine. We rigged it out with bildge, lights, electronics, and interior night lights. We rigged it where it works well if two people fish out of it. We hauled some nice bass and reds in his boat. It simple and easy to clean. We been using it more as the 25 hp Mercury does not burn much gas. I think that 2019 Mercury after one trip around 35 miles running at Toledo Bend burnt 3 gallons of gas.
Not fast but it works.

I also have a bigger crestliner aluminum boat I keep at my camp Toledo Bend. I use it more to fish with family or guest.
