Location

15’ to 20’

The rig .

California craw bronco bug

4/0 ewg

Carolina clacker

1/4 sinker

Bluegill and craws are probably primary but trout is definitely a key bait .

Ayden gerner I had a budget of 13,000 I wanted a 2006 champion but it wouldn’t fit in my garage . So I found the tracker that had upgrades.

Aluminum pros -

Tough as nails

Shallow water kings

I’m not afraid to take it places glass guys get scared.

Lite and pull easy

Great fuel consumption

If your not sure how much your gonna use it or as long as your not on huge water with big waves there is nothing wrong with a aluminum and I know there is better options than my tracker . Ranger makes a nice one and crestlner.

Keep us posted

I fished a 2014 Tracker 175 w75 hp for the last 2 years . It has a ultrex and livescope . Honestly it was a test boat for me and fits in my garage. We now fish 1 time a week minimum now and 1 to 2 tournaments a month we are in the process of upgrading just for storage, stablity and some speed.

Our last 2 tournaments we have been top 5 with guys that have 100k boats and can double our speed to a location. The Tracker has been a great platform that taught us it’s not about the boat.

If you have the dispensable cash buy what your heart wants imo just buy for what you plan on doing with it .

Good luck guys !

Yeah those guys hammer on those lakes both are about 30 mins from my house.

A small club tournament pulled 28 lbs for 5 fish before spawn.

If you don’t have at least 20lbs you don’t have a chance to win.
