Types of Water
With so many different bodies of water you can fish on in Utah, it's important to know where you plan to fish when choosing a boat. If you fish near shallow waters, you'll run into debris, rocks, and large branches that can quickly ding up your boat. Flat bottom and jon boats are great choices for navigating through shallow water. Conditions your boat will face are also different in freshwater and saltwater environments. Freshwater fishing offers fewer challenges than saltwater fishing as saltwater fishing can require more careful maintenance of your fishing boat.
If you're expecting rough, choppy waters during your fishing adventures, stability will be one of the most important factors to consider. You'll want to invest in a larger boat made of sturdy materials to ensure a smoother ride. Center console and walkaround boats are great for offshore anglers since they offer plenty of space for multiple people and easy navigation around the boat.
Types of Fish
Similar to a fishing location, the type of fish you're catching for can alter what type of boat you'll need. Utah is home to a wide variety of fish species. Knowing if you'll be boating in rivers or lakes is important. Looking at the fish you intend to catch and where they live will better help you purchase a fishing boat with space, storage, and features that will best suit your fishing style and needs.
Fishing Accessories
Some boats will come equipped with tons of angling features and others you'll need to add yourself. Here are some recommended accessories if your next fishing boat doesn't already come with them. Rod holders are great if want to set up multiple lines at once or keep rods secure to take breaks. Depth gauges provide a reading of the water depth so you know if you need to reposition your boat.
