Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone here have used a flat bottom boat say 12 or 14 foot for underwater structure? And if so how did it work good, bad? I remember a old sunking boat back home in a lake I fished and there always seemed to be some fish around it and was just wanting some thoughts on the idea?
Thanks,
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

RC I an embarrassed to say yes. We had an old 14 ft jon boat that was beyond repair but still floated. I filled it with large rocks ( basketball sized) towed it out while it was filling with water. It did not sink so I put several holes in the bottom with a pick. It sank but because of its shape not straight down but glided down. It did not go where it was supposed to. To this day , even with a sonar , I have not positively determined where it is located. I need to get out the aquaview and look. So not knowing its location I don't know if the structure holds fish or not. If I did it again I would add a metal pole on the front end to make it angle up off the bottom.

LOL, Funny! Thanks for the info. I will be careful. Not sure if I want to try it or not yet??? But figured it would be a good structure if you could get it in the right spot that is.

We have an old wooden boat that was sunk in our pond, and there was always a huge LMB hanging out around it.
It's pretty much all silted over now as it was kind of in one of our inlets.
I'd go for it.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
