Your trusty fishing boat is the key to accessing all the parts of the water you just can’t reach when fishing from the shore. A fishing boat allows you way more options when it comes to what types of fish you can catch and how big they’ll be, since bigger fish stick to much deeper waters. Your fishing boat likely comes with lots of great features, but it can always be improved upon with accessories!
RVs and Boats For Less in Chubbuck is your Idaho fishing boat dealer, serving Pocatello and Idaho Falls. Here are five of the top accessories you may want to equip on your fishing boat.
1. Baitwell & Livewell
Fish love live bait best, and fresh fish taste the best. That’s why having both a baitwell and a livewell on your fishing boat is a good idea. Baitwells let you use live bait to catch your fish, while livewells keep those fish swimming and fresh until you reach the shore. Choose the size that best fits your fishing boat.
2. Depth Finder
Knowing where the fish are biting involves knowing how deep the water beneath you is. A depth finder is a compact device that helps you to figure out the approximate depth of the body of water you’re cruising in so you can figure out where your favorite catches are swimming.
3. Cooler
Feeling peckish on the water? If you’ve got a cooler stashed with snacks and drinks, you can sate your hunger and quench your thirst without having to cut your fishing trip short because your blood sugar tanked. Fill your cooler up with ice and stock it full of sandwiches, string cheese, canned soda, bottled water and anything else you want to consume while you’re waiting for the fish to bite.
4. Rod Holders
Need to step away from the edge of your boat for a minute? Rod holders anchored to the sides of your boat will allow you to keep your line in the water while you do whatever it is you need to do. You can also use them to keep multiple lines in the water at once.
5. Anchor
When you don’t want your boat to drift in the wind or the current, you need an anchor. There are plenty of compact anchors you can easily stash on your fishing boat to use when it’s time to lock your boat in place for a bit. Anchors also come in handy if you need to call for rescue and don’t want to drift away from where your rescuers can find you.
