Flats boat?
 

How does the glass flats boats handle chop to rough water? I fish Toledo bend and river mostly but may do some salt water like Lake Charles but the roughest I get in is Toledo bend and am tryin to decide on my next boat and like how the flats style look and am comparing to a bass boat. I would like 19-21 ft and like somthin like the Sterling or along that design.

Get you a egret,best rough water skiff out there.

nice chines on that boat

yea thats pretty sweet, hows storage on boats like that for tackle and rods

man thats got alot of storage, i realy gona have to look into these. does anyone on here run this style boat, i know i hear alot of talk about the hiney boats but not sure if thats the same style

Haynie is not a flats boat,egret is. They are not cheap,but they are top notch like the yellowfin.

that is one sweet boat....bow to transom and the etec HO also....what's the sticker for the one in the video?

how about Action Craft

just found a 2010 in florida rigged pretty well for $45000

I have a action craft 1720se flyfisher. I love it, it gets skinny, handles a chop well. Ive been in some nasty stuff with this boat. It flat out performs! No pun intended. :)

do these boats sit higher than bass boats.....i had my brothers this weekend at toledo and water came over the front 2 times on plane...,..i swore if i made it back to land i would not leave my bay boat at home again when its windy

how are the ranger flats

i am runnin a 15x48 alweld and got ccaught in some bad weather a few weeks back up there and endes up with water in my boat and us soaked fightin good 6ft+ waves and thats scary but i just am havein trouble decideing what to buy next. i dont salt water fish much but i want an all around boat and this style seems like a good fit expecialy if its self bailing for that real bad stuff.

found a good lookin 1999 action craft with a 2010 proxs 175 for $15000 on lasportsman, is that fair or how does the pricing go on them

This happens to be a friends boat. Its in great shape and has 3 years left on the motor warranty. Give him a call you wont be dissapointed.

florida style flats skiffs come in many sizes & functions (technical poling, hybrid, live bait/big water boats) Generally, they have less hull slap than bay boats b/c of the reverse chines, but take more spray in a crosswind. I fish the gulf on smooth days in a flat.

look at mbcboats.com forum, hewes redfishers, maverick master anglers.

rangers are good solid boats but the models that ride good are a bit heavy, squat a little bad coming out of the hole even though the tank is in front......

I wanted a lake and bay 20-21 for a long time, good light hull with a good vee, but the drawback is it needs a lot of water to plane

I want one

i like this boat for what it is, he's 5K high on price easy tho

wish i had the money but i am about to put up a fence and then build a shop, the boat comes next when i have it a room to sleep in

thats a fine lookin boat, supper clean

i dont know if anyone on here lives off park rd. in moss bluff or if yall know who it is but there is a ford with biglake411 on back, i have seen few of the big wraped flats this week over there and i saw over 10 on my way home from sulphur headed to fish the tourny this morning. whats the popular boats that these guys are fishing

biglake411...... *****... site is a joke......

i dont know anything bout the site or guy i just know i have seen some high dollar flats over there this past week

Alot of those ht cup guys are running the lake and bays, majeks and shallow sports

Who bought this boat? Someone from "Lake Charles" did according to MBC forum. I was leaning on this boat until I got my maverick

not sure but that is fine, will have to start watching for it

Im running an 18.9 EGRET. Its all grey w/ black powder coating. Im pretty sure its the only EGRET in south LA. Any questions just let me know

I've got a 2005 18' Sterling Flats, loaded with electronics, "stiffy pole", red hull, 140 4-stoke, water ready. Not enough free time to use it. PM me if your interested.... We can make a fishing trip out of it if u like.

The boat on park road is a Haynie. And wraps make you no better of a fishermen. Im not even sure if he is sponsored.

think me and my cousin met you at Heberts out 2 months ago, that is a fine boat

Pics?

Fool, I don't think he was talking about the haynie being wrapped. Just the other flats boats were. He just mentioned a Ford was parked there with a biglake411 sticker. I refuse to put a wrap on the boat unless a sponsor decides on paying for it. No free advertisement for no products or money.

think the one I seen was a Lake and Bay

We need to get that thing in the water!

Outcast, how'd y'all do today?

I wish I could answer for him but he didn't invite me. :(

Panga 20' Super Skiff
From its basic configuration to the fully rigged version, here’s a go anywhere skiff that’s totally seaworthy, unsinkable and easy handling. It will run in 8" of water, drawing only 6" at rest.

Rained out!!! Waited around till 9 but it never cleared out.

Sorry Paul! Im ready for a trip on the west side

I'll find us a boat unless you want to fish close.

I want o catch some trout with the fly rods

How does sometime during the first 3 weeks in August sound? I'll be on vacation then.

Sent from my EVO

Sounds great to me!!

word ill be off . . . . .might be tight but we can squeeze in my boat

How about I bring down the Maverick and we make it a flats massacre!

We slam the specks and reds in lake boudreaux with flys in the fall... I have a Gatortrax it isn't fast the other flats boat y'all are talking about but she will get the job done... Plus we can run into the ponds that alot of boats can't get in and slam the reds sight casting...
