Used boat but new to me. Anyone ever seen these little plastic bathtubs before?
It’s a Coleman. 11’ long. Weighs 110 pounds.
Has a thick rear transom on the back for trolling motor or up to a 5 HP outboard.
It’s my new rig for getting back in creeks and low areas. (Barren Fork, Aldridge Creek, and maybe Limestone if the gators leave - haha)
I can put it on top of my SUV and take off!
Just had to share!

I imagine that will go a whole lot of shallow places a full-sized boat will not.
That's pretty neat. Please, keep us posted on how it's working out for you.
Looks like a very wide kayak!
I can tell you where to go, oops just check the forum. I also post where I go, LOL!
If I’m not mistaken Canepole used to have one of those all fixed up for crappie fishing.
Great little rig!
Nice sled and some pretty good looking water it's setting on

I'm with you on Limestone, gator vs plastic boat... Not something I want to partake in.

If I can get away Friday I’m gonna chance it in something much smaller than that. Lol. Won’t lie I won’t be as comfortable as normal.Quote:

Love the little boats. Maybe I am just old lol. to me if getting there is more work than doing I just shy away from it. I hope you catch so many you have to make several trips to unload the boat.
Thats a nice rig, should be great for skinny water.
I fished around gators for 12 years. You guys don't have to worry about them. They aren't going to attack you.
Great looking outfit, may you have many a great outings with it. How much water does it draft with you in it?
I’m not really afraid of being attacked. I’ve heard people say they surfaced right at them. My fear is one surfacing long way right under my kayak.Quote:

I think as shallow as the water is now that you could see them. The big one is getting away from you as soon as he hears the least little sound. With the colder weather i bet they go to the remote pits for the winter. I fished from November through March and never saw one last year. I enjoy seeing them, especially the little 4 footer that stayed on the log sunning itself.Quote:

Nothing better than a little excitement
