Fishing Canoe

A fishing canoe is available in various shapes and sizes. Canoes come in flat bottoms and rounded bottoms. Flat bottom models feel safe in calm water and are easy to turn. But a flat bottom canoe can capsize easier than a round bottom one.



When choosing a canoe, you also need to consider the width, called beam. Canoes with more beam are more stable. Another consideration is the length. For fishing in lakes, ponds or calm shallow rivers, a 16-18 foot canoe with a beam of about 36 inches would be a good choice. This type can handle two anglers. It is also recommended to go with a slightly rounded bottom.

Aluminum fishing boats are sturdy, but they are noisy. The best choice, probably is a fiberglass canoe. They are sturdy and can be repaired easily.
