Question: I want to do some inshore fishing in Louisiana. I want to take my tracker 190 and fish out of it. Has anyone fished their aluminum boat in saltwater? What should I be mindful of?

I B Lat here is where I am. 2025 was my first year back fishing. I had to start from zero. I fished a couple of lakes consistently in 2025 along with a few other lakes that I had never fished before. I organized my tackle to where I know where my different type lures are, my different type weights for certain rig styles and I have a backpack with all of my plastics. I set the backpack up so that I know where the different type plastics are so I don’t have to open every compartment to find what I’m looking for. For me the organization is all about being able to grab what I need and set my rig up while on the boat. Many times I don’t know how I am going to fish until I get on the lake and determine where I am going to fish. At that point the organization becomes most valuable. I noticed that on the lakes that I fish a lot that I am able to set my rods up and have them on the boat ready to fish when I get to my spot. Because I am still so new I still change plans a lot and set up some rigs while on the boat if I come to an area that challenge me. I only have 6 containers with lures, hooks, weights etc. and 1 backpack with plastics and soft swim baits. Having less helps me not to get to caught up in the lures but keeps me more focused on using what I know works and fishing! Every time I fish a lake I find that I become a little more familiar with what techniques I can use over and over. It’s fun and challenging all at the same time! I love it. The other part of my organization is that I don’t do clutter well so my organization has to make sense for how I fish. Because I fish alone quite a bit, I want my tackle accessible to me but not too in the way or too far away. I want to have as less hazards as possible so that I don’t accidentally fall into the lake. Lol! I’m going to watch the live tonight and see what I can do to improve on my organization from other perspectives.

Kenny I have not had any issues with highway speed. I have ran 80-85 and don’t even notice the trailer back there. I pull mine with a Chevrolet Sierra 1500, so it perhaps blocks a lot of the wind. I actually forget the trailer is back there on the highway.
