I am currently looking to buy my first boat, but I am looking for some advice. I've been getting a lot of different opinions on the type that I need. It will be for fishing, but I don't know if I should go for a bass boat or a walleye boat.
I've had some people tell me that a bass boat would be able to go out onto Lake Okoboji or Otter Tail without any problems with the wakes there, but a few others have told me that's a recipe for a boating disaster. Which side is right? I don't plan on going out to lakes that are that large often (I plan on sticking to the I-80 lakes, many of which are 500 acres or less), but it would be nice for a fishing getaway now and then.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance!
